The Early Morning Dance of Birds

The birds are gathered in flocks veining from the tide to 200 ft inland. When I try to disrupt their gathering they do the same dance every time.

One bird rises and then they all follow, swooping into line - a crescendo beat of wings. Half the flock heads over water and the other half inland, completing arches that meet and land simultaneously 100 ft away from where they were and where I now stand.

This is pretty cool. I don't live near the beach, but I was trying to snap photos of a flock of birds in flight this morning. Mine didn't turn out so I won't be posting them. I'm considering your post as my first synchronicity of the day. Have a good one.

Enjoy a night of eating outdoors with me in Cleveland.

Check Yes or No

I personally haven't been on the receiving end of a "yes or no" letter written on three hole punched lined paper for many many years. Well, until yesterday. Please have a look at what the 13 or 15 year old (he wasn't sure when questioned by the cops about his age or year of birth) spanish speaking neighbor of ours was leaving in the door when Maura stopped him and asked him to hand it over. This all happened at 10 pm. Needless to say we sent our response in the form of a police officer to his home. The boy explained to the officers that the letter was just a mix up. He had one in his hand for his girlfriend and then one for us that was going to be asking us to join him at chuch (which happened to be what he told Maura the letter was about when he handed it over to her.) Very common mistake...sex proposition and church. Especially from a 13/15 year old. So had we not sent the cops over I guess he was coming back to see what the response was. If he had been a bit o...
