Happy Earth Day, Mother Nature

The sky is one of my favorite shades of blue today, it's brilliantly sunny, and I saw people lounging at the pool during my run this morning. Very pretty.

I observed birds during lunch with a friend last weekend. They're pretty dumb, but I really wonder if it's our fault. I mean, it's been proven that birds, with a brain the size of about a walnut, can learn basic tasks and communicate. But now they eat butter laden biscuits and fatty sausages. I saw a bird fighting off and bullying other birds for a plastic packet of raspberry jam. They jump into trashcans in hopes of finding scraps that have probably been rotting in the heat of day. Poor dumb birdies.

I wonder how birds used to be before humans ruined things. Why, they were raptors.

What a terrible day to be Earth.
