Heres my question for the kids  whats up with chasing pigeons?? The other day my flock are on our lunch break, settling in with a nice pile of sunflower seeds and BOOM outta nowhere three little jerks run up on us, ruining a perfectly nice afternoon. What happened to manners? What happened to common decency!

When times are tough I like to head over to Bayard to remind myself how good I have it. Those sorry ducks hanging in the window, cured, roasted, and glazed, ogled by tourists. This city might chew me up and spit me out but only figuratively, unlike these quacks.
