The idle musings of a former military man, former computer geek, medically retired pastor and now full-time writer. Contents guaranteed to offend the politically correct and anal-retentive from time to time. My approach to life is that it should be taken with a large helping of laughter, and sufficient firepower to keep it tamed!
One of the utter and complete failures of my childhood education was learning, me when I was an adult, that coyotes are faster on the ground than road-runners.
What next? Sugared cereals aren't actually good for you?
The "Sound of Music" is mostly humbug and imagination?
I...
I...
I just can't take any more of my dreams being shattered... (walks off-screen, crying silently to himself...)
Looking at it from a purely academic and thus sociological point of view it is clear that the road runner is a coyote sexploiter and must be abused socially for maximum degradation and shit like that....because he is really a white tool of the ACME corp.
Work with me, I'm building creds to get a job as university dean of undergraduate life.
Sad. We have a few RRs in the neighborhood. A couple years ago we started seeing a hen with a couple of chicks on our dawn walks. We became fond of them because we would see them nearly every morning. Then one day I came upon one of the chicks run over in the street. Sad :(:(. Hate to see it because they are pretty scarce already, and the loss of even one diminishes.
They are fascinating to watch as they hunt in the backyard.

This reminds me of videos I've seen lately, involving ships and cranes.
ReplyDeleteMy entire childhood was shattered when I discovered that a coyote
ReplyDeleteis faster than a roadrunner, and that roadrunners can fly!
Physics was really tough for me in high school as I had learned most of what I knew from watching Roadrunner.
