Risking life and limb

[donutsweeper]

Just to get the perfect photo.
 

Okay, not really.  But Mama Goose was REALLY unhappy I tried to get close to her goslings and ran up to hiss and spit and try to bite me to keep me away.



This is probably closer to "spring" than "summer" (as requested by smithy161) but I tried.

I tried to feed Frank, the goose that lived in the pond by my old apartment complex. My hand apparently tasted better to him.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

ow! And you were trying to do a good deed!

One of the places where I lifeguarded had a few swans that thought of the area as "theirs" They would run up and bite anyone who tried to be there. We kept shovels nearby to throw sand and dirt on them (they are VERY vain animals) but sometimes you couldn't get the dirt on them fast enough and they'd bite. Owie

I once watched a cat try to attack him. I never saw that cat go anywhere near the pond ever again.

Why does that remind me of the rabbit in Monty Python?

*snerk* because you have a very twisted mind?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

You're probably right.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I notice you don't deny it

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It would take far too much energy to deny something we all know is true.

Now I want a donut...

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

That's a continual state with me

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'm in a perpetual state of wanting coffee.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

that too!

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I just wish the 24 hour Starbucks was closer to me.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

oooh 24 hour starbucks.... *drools*

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It's also one of the busiest Starbucks in the world.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

I can understand why

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

It is right next to a college, too, so that helps.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

college students are in constant need of caffeine

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Definitely.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

sugar and caffeine. They thrive on it. *sigh* I remember those days fondly

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

I'm just beginning to recover from those days.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

but you're still on 3rd shift, so it'll take awhile, right?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Oh, yeah. I may have to wait until the summer is over to fully recover.

[donutsweeper.livejournal.com]

any thoughts on what you'll do next?

[the-dark-side.livejournal.com]

Still working on that.
