My Day Started Terribly...
This morning I awoke to birds chirping, the sun gleaming through the bows of a tree overhaning my window, and a cool morning breeze to move its leaves with a rustle. I make some coffee, grab a bite to eat, wash my face and snatch an apple on the way out the door. Just as I close my door behind me, I stretch and look up to see a bird, as if in slow motion, landing on a power line.

ZZZ Zap!

Just as the pigeon plummeted to the street below, so did my good mood.

Thought I' share that with ya. I had the same feeling when Bush stole his second election.

1. There's a term for that.. Roast squab
Kidding, I feel horrible every time I see a living creature's life extinguished. Even squirrels.

2. How?
Did the bird touch two wires at once? Birds are okay on power lines because the electricity takes the path of least resistance -- the bird's not it.

I'm sorry your day was shot.
