"wildlife" at work

i put "wildlife" in quotes because the animals there are neither wild, nor have life.. since i have been back from MN i noticed that these frightening wolf looking coyotes are guarding both entrances into the parking lot.

i guess they are in place to scare away the canada geese that are multiplying like mad right now, but they really only succeed in making me furious and scared each time i see them. one of these days i am going to take them down.

here is proof...





the not "live" part of the post is found in the garage where the news team vans are kept. i still have to giggle to myself each time i walk through this area because it makes me think of that scene in anchorman where all the news teams show up in their news vans and have a street fight...

anyway.. today i was on my way to the other building for a meeting and i look down in the garage and see some sort of spot on the pavement. a few steps further i see another spot, and i think, are those feet? by the time i got to the third spot i had a feeling it was another dead flattened like a pancake bird. yep. it was. so i captured this breaking news on my oh so handy camera that i have with me at all times. knowing that they are birds, you can make out the beaks, and legs and stuff. wtf is wrong with the people that work in there? clearly these birds have been run over a million times to be so flattened. heartless!!! even i wouldn't be that heartless.







in other news. i bought and changed the litterbox for fatty, she promptly used it. :( the area that we are so affectionately calling "my office" is leaking.. almost raining indoors. :( and i can't find any more paper towels.

i heard that cath and mike have spent all day at the casino today since it is raining at camp too. if the rain keeps up, this is going to turn into an expensive camping trip.
