And now for something totally different...something interesting about my workplace is the plethora of waterfowl on our property. For instance, we have a pair of nesting swans outside the front door. The swans give me a surprising amount of entertainment during the day, not for normal swan activities, but for the male's insistence of keeping his space geese free. We have a shocking number of Canadian Geese in this part of the world, and they seem to congregate where ever there is water. And when there are geese inside his space, he gets impertinent. He fluffs himself up and charges across the water like a jet ski to scare them away. So, the geese keep their distance but have decided that this is a cool place to hang. I met three of them just off the path from the parking lot this morning, pretending not to be there, just playing it cool, until I approached. And I got hissed at! Punks! That's what they are!
