So I am waiting at the bus stop this afternoon after work and there are the usual pigeons hanging around the bus stop. I guess someone gave them food because they were all over the sidewalk and some on the road. So when the bus pulls up, the pigeons start to fly away. I know at least a couple came close to flying straight into my head! Feels like GTA IV! LOL!

QOTD: I take whatever free phone I can get from t-mobile. Recently I upgraded to a Nokia 6263. I like having an mp3 player in the phone - one less thing to carry to the gym.
