Cartoons meet real life...

So the other day I was walking home from work and I laughed out loud at this bird.... so I am going to describe it to you, and you can enjoy the cartoon moment I had..

So I was walking through the medical center. There is a ton of construction going on in the med center and i was walking past the construction zone. so it was one of those bright orange 'chain link' fences that have 4 ft metal stakes that weave through the bright orange hard plastic to keep the fence up, you know what I'm describing? Anyways, to make the metal stakes less dangerous they capped them with a bright orange hard plastic cap, that is round, and maybe 1.5-2 inches in diameter.

So I'm walking on the sidewalk and there is a bird in my path.. I'm kinda scary to a bird so it flew out of my path to the plastic cap on the stake... however, the bird couldn't get a grip with its feet on the cap... its feet kept slipping off and it would keep trying, and it was like he was doing a dance trying to get its balance and footing... I found it hilarious. I definitely could see this exact scene in a cartoon. Then finally it couldn't catch its balance and like fell off the cap... teehehe... luckily it has wings, so when it falls, it is able to save itself and ended up finding his footing again on the orange chain link fence thing... anyways, I thought I'd share it with y'all...

oh and I guess I'm more country/texan than I like to admit.. I went to the rodeo 2x in the last 3 weeks, saw someone from Milford, UT, win the saddle bronc riding (and $7500) AND I bought myself a cowboy hat... but I look sexy in it. I think I'll wear it next weekend when I go camping...

OH and my ankle is feeling better and I got to play 30 mins of ultimate frisbee today in the beautiful 75ish/80 weather today... such a beautiful day... love the ultimate frisbee!

AND I'm going to Andrew Bird tonight... I'll tell you how that goes (oh look we went full circle I started off talking about birds and I ended up talking about a Bird ;) ).

I didn't take pictures :(... but I would have had a reasonably good view of him had I brought my camera. And danny said, 'he is kinda in ::heart:: with Andrew Bird' so good views all around!

You can't live in Texas and NOT buy a cowboy hat... take a picture of you in your hat, at least!

That is funny that you saw someone from Milford win the rodeo. It's a small world sometimes!
