Dine and dash

Some guy did a modified dine and dash at Subway earlier. He ordered his sandwich, then ran out before getting the veggies on it. XD He left the sandwich, just ran away.

I returned to Quidi Vidi lake and fed the birds. There are more than just ducks there, which is interesting. I got mobbed by pigeons. A woman asked to use a handful of seed to feed the goose, named Michael. I agreed, even offering a second handful should she need it and she did. I got brave enough because of that woman to feed Michael myself. Geese scoop the food up much like a dog would. Empath, once again, got Pidgie McSkittish (a pigeon) to eat from his hand. :)

The in-laws come home tonight. >:[

For the birds

Empath and I made a third trip to feed ducks this afternoon. We've been mobbed by ducks at the university pond the last two trips, enough so that certain ducks were cheekily nipping at our knees to be fed. This trip took us to Quidi Vidi lake. There is a ring of large, flat shale rocks around the edge of the water with a large path encircling it. We found some relatively clean slates and sat down. The shore about 3 feet below us became engulfed with ducks, pigeons, loons and sea gulls. There was a large grey goose that paddled over near the end. It's the first time I've seen a goose up close, so I was very impressed. Feeding the birds relaxed us after we had rough days - Empath at work and me on RuneScape.

10 days to my birthday!
