What is up with me? I did however, go running this evening. I'm becoming a night time runner! See, it was supposed to be 38 this morning (actually it was 37) so Bahama Mama and I decided it would be much more pleasant to run this evening when it would be a nice 60 degrees. The choice was clear.
We were right.
I rolled over at 4:30, warm and cozy in the biscuit, and smiled at the knowledge that I had over an hour and a half of sleep left. Bliss.
On my way home yesterday I saw the freakiest thing. Birds!
I saw it again today. Apparently, on their way to Aruba, the birds have settled in our community to break up the journey. Guess it was roosting time.

Must have been thousands of them, just swirling and swarming, each looking for a place to light. I sat at the light for a while (traffic, grr) and watched them fight for a place to rest.
I wonder if that's what runners look like, in a race, to all those non-runners who glance out the window on race day. Thousands of people, scampering about, fighting to get ahead of the runner in front of them, swirling about the road, restless.
Just like those birds, we know exactly what we're doing though.
Scamper on y'all!
So strange those birds! Were they really going to Aruba?

ReplyDeleteI use to see birds like that on this one street corner in Miami when I would drive home from work. It was only for like 2-3 weeks out of the year, but it was always the same spot and always FREAKY! I wonder what they are plotting?
