an iguana, a big white bird and a disgruntled south florida resident. (dated 2.5.08)

i'm not going to go into the long story about the iguana that fell on my car about a month ago. but for those who know me, they know that i found this large iguana one morning on my car, unintentionally trapped it under my windshield wiper, drove to the gas station in tears and found a nice man to help me and it.

so there are these pretty large white birds that sit on the sides of the road here in florida. well, today i'm driving back to work from lunch and i see two of them chillin. no big deal. until they both decide to fly. the smart one flies up then comes back down. the dumb one flies across the street and then says to itself, "no, i think i'll go back now just slow enough so this honda accord hits me". and so that's what i did. i don't think i killed it, i didn't feel a thud, but there were definitely a lot of ruffled feathers.

i miss the days when i had to scrape ice off my windshield instead of exotic animals. and yes, i realize i am an animal killer.


UPDATE: I HAVEN'T HIT ANYTHING IN A WHILE. KNOCK ON WOOD.
