Rut Ro -  Did You Hear That Thunk?

Warning:  Graphic Content Ahead.  Animal lovers and squeamish look away now!

Friday afternoon, I was on my way home.  I was feeling pretty good about myself because I had just donated blood.  This was the first time that I have donated in at least five years. I used to donate all the time, but after all of the poking and prodding I was getting in the Navy, I decided to take a break. 

Anyway....back to the story at hand.  I drove under a bridge and I heard a thunk at the top of the car.  I looked in the rear view mirror and feathers were flying everywhere.  Mind you....I did not see a bird anywhere because it was dark under the bridge.  Oh well....things happen. 

As I continued to drive, I heard a flapping noise on the top of the car.  

OH NO!  

Tell me that this bird is not still on the top of my car!  I slide back the rear sunroof cover and what do I see..........blood and feathers....not a pretty sight.

I pull off to the side of the road and get out...totally unprepared for the scene which unfolded before me.

This is what I saw.

A pigeon had been decapitated on the first cross member of the roof rack and was stuck under the second cross member....YUCK!! 

Now I had to get this mess off my car.  Well I will spare you the details.

What's the life lesson?

Sometimes things happen. You can be going along minding your own business and something bad will happen to you.  Did I want to deal with the headless

bird on the top of my car?  NO!!   But I did.

When life throws you a curve ball, deal with the situation, learn from it and move on.

The bird is gone, the car has been washed and I am off to help my next client find a home of their dreams. 

Everyone Have a Great Day

Make This YOUR Best Year Ever
