okay, a quick break from the political stuff, but i watched this tiny little bird fluttering around while i walked to my car after work a couple days ago. i stopped, because the bird looked like he was chasing something. and there, out in front, as this bird went from branch to bush to branch, was an insect. and as the chase unfolded i felt like i was watching a dogfight, a scene from top gun, except i've got a great view. i wondered if the insect ever put the brakes on, i wondered if the bird was gonna cut the angle on one of the turns. and then the bird just sat on a branch for a little bit longer. and then i knew it was over.
