My dog, Moses, has his own Facebook page and enjoys writing about his adventures in our neighborhood. Here is an excerpt from his feed this past week.................
My mom is currently running around saying OMG over and over. I am not kidding she is. We just had the wildest, most dramatic, adventure/encounter on our morning walk ever...I mean I don't think my mom can get over it...she just ran in the bedroom and told dad. What happened? Well, here is the story. We leave our house and come upon a house that is covered in trees. It starts raining leaves, clearly something just happened up in the branches, what I don't know. Mom and I approach and I take a lunge, jerking mom. Before Mom knows it we are standing in front of (and this is her words not mine) a f-ing large bird with a squirrel in its mouth. It was probably a bald eagle but my mom, who is sick as a dog and taking Nyquil, says it could have been a velociraptor for all she knew. Basically, it was the largest bird she had ever seen in her life, with a 5-6 foot wing span. She immediately pulls my leash and tries to redirect me, but man, it's the largest thing I've ever seen and I want to go near it so I lunge again. The eagle/velociraptor drops the squirrel, which mom thought was dead and boy, did that not-dead squirrel ever move up the tree! The bird looks at us and then flies to a nearby mailbox post. That is is when mom notices a man. They walk toward each other and say "Did you just f-ing see that?" The same words exactly. Then the birds flies off the post but takes a dip and a truck driving by hits the bird and the bird falls to the ground. Again, mom and the guy in unison say "What the?" Then the bird gets up and the guy in the truck who hit the bird screams "What the?" At that moment the bird gets off the ground and flies to the top of the roof of a house across the street where it sits perched for minutes (probably accessing what the f just happened). The car drives off and mom and the guy are clearly in shock at what they just witnessed and discuss what should be done. The guy just said "Kharma." Mom wasn't sure what he meant but they left and mom took me and we ran the rest of the way because she was sure that bird looked at us, with a look that said "What the f, you just cost me my breakfast! Not to mention, I got hit by a car!" #CircleOfLife
When I was going to Michigan State University, my friends and I would always go to BW3's for hot wings. They always had a variety of flavored wings from Honey BBQ to steaming hot, hot, death wings. Wings and a beer were just the thing to satisfy a busy student's appetite. When we frequented BW3's it was a dive bar but by the time my brother graduated from MSU they swapped locations for a building across the street and turned the name to Buffalo Wild Wings and the restaurant became more like a chain thing. Well, color me shocked the other day when we went to the movies and I saw a Buffalo Wild Wings being built in the AMC Burbank 16 complex. Apparently, after looking on their website they are one of the fastest top 10 chains in the US. So of course I had to introduce the hubby to one of my favorite college treats. I don't think he is so much a fan of chicken wings so we got boneless chicken wings a.k.a. tasty little chicken chunks in two of the flavored sauc...
