[Nanci]

I found a bird exactly like that laying in the middle of the road when I lived in Minnesota. I _thought_ it was a pigeon of some sort, but wasn't sure. The guys that were fixing our house after the tornado said it was a baby Great Blue Heron!!! I'm sure...That was my beloved Dil_bert_, who was with me only till Christmas of that year, the worst year of my life.

I won't give up caffeine, even though it occasionally makes my eye twitch for two weeks at a time...

My DPITA is flying through France to get to Germany today. She called me at blink:30 a.m. in a tizzy over all this.

At least if she gets stranded in Paris at CDG, she could take a train into Germany. (she'll only be a couple hundred miles from where she's going)

I'm thinking today will be a very safe day to fly, but a very slow one. As long as she can get all her connections into France it should work out. It's a British plane into Germany. That'll probably be very late.

I'll worry all day anyway.

Ooh! Ooh! Nanci! I meant to tell you! On my walk from the clinic to the car yesterday, I saw one very dead sparrow in the grass, and one...dead? little black bird in the street next to my car. As I approached, his wing twitched, and I saw that his eyes were open. He was lying on his belly, with both wings spread out. I didn't see any obvious trauma. I turned to the car to look for something flat to scoop him up and put him on the grass, and...he flew away! Just resting? I thought maybe some bigger bird had attacked him and he fell...I know so little about bird ways. I was glad he could fly away, and I thought, "I must tell Nanci".

KN, I agree with you, probably a safe day for flying, but still, a worrisome one. Hang in there. L.
