    Chilling outside basoms window right now, chugging a pigeon

    is a wicked sweet red tail hawk.

    homie is five feet from my face, in a tree, just tearing this pigeon to shreads. i've been watching it for about half an hour. it seemed pretty cool with me, so i opened up the window and the screen to document the feast.





    home boy is now done with brekfast, doing a little feather maintenance, and generaly chilling the fuck out.

    i named it Thelonious. although i don't know how to tell if buddy is a lady or a man hawk.

    anyways, pretty bird eh?

        Nice, I bet there aren't a lot of pictures that have both a redtail hawk and the Tobin bridge in them.

                  little known factoid: Charelstown in Wampanoag translates too: land teaming with red tail hawks. true story.

                  edit: Gonz, i asked thelonious if he wanted to buy your router when i opened the window. i specificly mentioned how it could be usefull for his nest construction. he's gooing to think it over, i gave him your email.

                          hmmmmm.

                          hold on i'll ask.

                          nope, he doesn't have it on him today.
                          he also reminded me that i only have dialup at home, and am too busy in the evenings with my stripping schedual to set up DSL at the moment. which was good, because i had forgotten about my gig tonight.

                            I'm still trying to figure out who irritates me more, Norm or Bob Villa?

                              Yo, Basom. You need to throw some bread crumbs around your neighborhood to attract more pigeons.
