Strange Findings And The Throwing Of Meat

A few odds and ends.

On my bike ride yesterday, I did not keep a woolly caterpillar count but I did see a few things:

• A cool, old, rusty, Allis-Chalmers tractor. 
• A small 12 inch snake sunning itself on the bike trail.
• A pair of black, lacy, thong underwear, also on the trail (Before you ask, I have no idea).

The other day I saw some sort of bird of prey in the old dead tree behind our house (This picture was taken on a particularly foggy morning).  I mentioned this to the Wife and she said that we were lucky to have the tree as it would attract birds.  When I pointed out that birds, especially birds of prey, didn't seem to like our tree, she said:

"They will when I throw meat in it."

Oookaaay ... you can't argue with that.
