Driving back to Austin tonight we almost hit a porcupine.
Q: What’s the difference between a porcupine and an SUV?
A: A porcupine has the pricks on the outside.

On my way to work this morning, I walked past a crow eating a dead rat.

I left the house this morning, turned the corner, and suddenly found a large bird of prey watching me. It was sitting on the neighbor’s fence, by the mailbox. I crept back inside and grabbed the camera…
After I’d taken a photo, the bird and I stood and watched each other for a while. Then he pump-gagged something, perhaps a piece of squirrel. He seemed keen on watching the tree outside our house, so maybe he was hungry for more fresh tree rat.
