Creative Writing
Laurie says my posts sound boring. I guess I spend so much time writing technical reports at work and school that the flair is gone (if there ever was one). I need help! How do I write more creatively?
Birds x 2
So what’s up with the birds? It almost happened again. I had a cactus wren land on my window; 10 inches from my face. I scared it off before I could get my camera, I really didn’t want to fight with it. I really don’t want to roll the window’s up, but if this keeps going who knows what’ll happen, especially if they keep getting bigger. There isn’t enough room in my truck for me and an ostrich.
Funny Little Bird
At about 9:30 this morning I pulled up to an old, abandoned trailer park to do some work. My task was to perform a test that determines how fast water will infiltrate into the soil. This test usually takes about an hour or so. I usually have to wait about 10 to 15 minutes between readings. Since there was a nice cool breeze I decided to roll down my windows and get some paperwork taken care of. All of a sudden a small bird flew into my truck. It startled me. The little thing must have hatched this year. The poor little thing got stuck between the windshield and the dash board. It was terrified of me, and only wanted to get away, but it couldn’t figure out why it couldn’t fly through the glass. It just sat there in the crack between the glass and the dash until I opened my door and got out. Then it flew to the rear window where it got stuck again. I had to open all four doors and pretty much shew it out so it would leave. At least it didn’t poop.
