*Blink. Blink*
Mar. 4th, 2008 09:04 amI was stopped in a line of cars at a traffic light on the way to work this morning when a (presumably deranged) Canada Goose circled downwards, and landed on the hood of my car.
I was frozen in shock for a second. I stared at the goose. The goose stared at me through the windshield. Then I honked the horn, upon which Monsieur Branta canadensis realized where he was. He proceeded to freak out, claw his way upward into the air post-haste, and glide to a safe landing on the grass along the road, where he joined a few of his companions.
Then people behind me started beeping their horns at me to get moving, since the light had changed. And I had to do my best to drive for a few seconds while laughing hysterically at the whole situation.
Sometimes life is really, really weird.
(Also, this icon felt somewhat appropriate, even if Arthur's a duck and not a goose.)
