Friday - enemy spotted, scout escaped

In a continual battle for supremacy, the city’s contracted Inliner and ourselves, this morning, the flakes returned.  I wonder what they’re really doing.  It certainly isn’t doing it right the first, second, third, or fourth time.

 

Thomas was feeling a little better, having missed golf on Tuesday due to weather, it pained him to miss more.  He played 9 holes on Wednesday, but rarely plays more than twice a week.  He got tee times and played this morning.  He had to ask the fools to move their trucks blocking the drive and then negotiate around a poorly placed car.

 

Meanwhile, Marcus was working and took note of a few things:  the car parked wrong on the street was that of a supervisor who spent her time in the car the entire couple hours they were here.  You may recall my complaining about them before.  Anyway, if a supervisor doesn’t know how to park or realize that the car on the opposite side of large trucks makes passing difficult/impossible, that person shouldn’t have that job or responsibility.  Also… why on trash day?  All the time they appear on trash day with large trucks that block streets.  What fools!

 

Yesterday I saw a hawk or falcon.  It didn’t stay long, so I'm not sure.  It grabbed a bird – smaller one, and the other flew away toward the predator – likely too scared and slow to know what happened.  It took its prey to a tree to eat it there.  I feed the birds and the birds feed the birds.  Also, the circle is more complicated … the birds sloppily spill food, feeding the squirrels and the chipmunks.

 

The 3 River’s Festival is going on this week but the folks have missed it.  Lois has been feeling too poor to go and in the afternoon sauna, its not wise to go.  Marcus, while interested in candid shots might go, the parking fees are criminal.  We’ll see what, if anything, is shot or done for the festival.  The prices are rising faster than inflation, so that’s another reason why it might be skipped this year.  Fort Wayne charges vendors too much and they in turn try to make profit on their season – summer, for the whole year.  It’s not a consumer-friendly business.
