darksabre Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 I think movies have hurt my perception of those birds. I didn't realize they were as widespread as they actually are. I've been doing a bit of googling and it looks like they're probably turkey vultures. I'll never be close enough to see their heads and know for sure. I wonder where the road kill was this morning. I didn't drive past anything. They know you have family coming into town. They're just biding their time. Quote

I've been doing a bit of googling and it looks like they're probably turkey vultures. I'll never be close enough to see their heads and know for sure. I wonder where the road kill was this morning. I didn't drive past anything. They are migrating through the area. They know you have family coming into town. They're just biding their time. They have amazing sense of smell. They undoubtedly smell the impending destruction. Quote
shrader Posted November 13, 2014 Report Posted November 13, 2014 They have amazing sense of smell. They undoubtedly smell the impending destruction. I had two circling me over the weekend while I was out raking. The neighborhood has a ton of old people, so they probably assumed a heart attack was on the way. Yeah, they were probably circling something else, but they pretty much left the second I noticed them. Quote

biodork Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 (edited) This house description by the homeowner on Craigslist is hilarious: http://981thehawk.co...hare_mobile_top A small sample: Do you want a low-maintenance home in a relatively stabby-free neighborhood? Do you want to live within walking distance of 5 bars? In the event of a cardiac emergency wouldn’t it be nice to be only 3 blocks away from Lancaster General Hospital? Well, I have the home for you.

I bet it sells. I'm selling a car. Maybe I need to take this approach. Unfortunately, I have no former girlfriends with keys to it. Quote

Unfortunately, I have no former girlfriends with keys to it. lol at least he's honest. Maybe you can take a similar approach by highlighting how few bodies have been in the trunk of your car? Quote
Stoner Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 lol at least he's honest. Maybe you can take a similar approach by highlighting how few bodies have been in the trunk of your car? True. It's only been a couple. And I learned a lot from watching Dexter. Quote
dEnnis the Menace Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 So I have been dropping in and out of here trying to catch up on a few of the lighter threads, but it's been hard lately with everything going on (promotion and now hiring at work, overloaded with incoming work (not a bad thing, just hard to keep up), my friend who had the stroke, etc.) In regards to the awesome news: My friend who had the stroke was able to walk 2 laps around the neuro wing that he is in at Strong yesterday during PT. He has gained more range of motion in his arms and legs, and the face droop has gotten better. I'm going back out to ROC this weekend to help out his housemate/landlord in terms of getting the house adjusted to bring him home after his rehab stint, and to just hang out with him at the hospital this weekend.

... Posted November 18, 2014 Report Posted November 18, 2014 This may be Buffalo (I doubt it), but this picture is years old. So sorry. Kevin O'Neill tweeted it. I will go kill myself now in your honor, since I failed you miserably. I'll have my head sent to you via FedEx. Unless you prefer UPS, I know you're picky. Quote
