is an irrational fear that I have been having lately.  Actually, perhaps it is not so irrational because...what's with all of the dead birds lately?!?!  I am not exaggerating here when I say that I have seen dead birds at least 4 times a week these past few weeks!  And I'm not just talking about a few feathers here and there.  I'm talking about full on blood, guts, and glory types of carcasses!  Once I even saw what looked look two torn off wings, but the "bird" itself was nowhere to be seen!  I'm sensing a Hitchcock movie coming on (enter Twilight Zone music...). 

In the meantime, does anybody out there need furniture, kitchenware, ANYthing!?!?  I am still desperately trying to get rid of my stuff before heading out to the great big Africa in the sky.  Only one more month!  Let the countdown begin!
