Must say something about the business when the vultures are staking out the office door.

Got about a foot of wet heavy stuff last nite/this morning. The vulture must sense something!

One evening last week I saw nearly 100 of them at one time. Real vultures, not human vultures. This was not too long before a significant storm system moved in. I witnessed the same thing a couple of times last year. Normally we will only see from one to six or eight at any one time. Back about 1979 I was travelling down a county road through the boondocks and witnessed a huge number of them. What was notable was that most of them were sitting on wood fence posts along one side of the road. As I slowly drove past them, each would raise up a bit and reach out it's wings as if to take off, but none actually took off. It made me think of one of those tunnels of military salute where a long series of flags are raised as you move forward.

Somebody close needs to grab that boy and wash his mouth out with soap for saying such filthy stuff.

What's a guy supposed to think? A lineup of vultures saluting you as you slowly pass by....

Here's one of some buzzards perched on the roof of a shed at my father's. It was a cool morning and they were soaking up some heat.

I understand your way of thinking. It was really a quite impressive sight. In the future, I will tell this story to any gathering of l*****s I encounter, then add your comment as to how the vultures apparently were confused and thought I was a l*****.
