… in this glorious world and outside of the human race, all creatures are on their own … find food or perish is the rule. There are those creatures who let others find food and then steal it from them … but in the photo tonight the great blue heron on the shore, simply watched as the successful heron downed his catch as fast as he could, and then got out of there. It might have been a different result had a bald eagle been there and wanted the fish … our heron may have simply ditched the fish and got out of there to save his own life. It is nice being on top of the food chain … all we have to worry about are other humans who would take what we have earned … at least we used to lock them up!
A very productive day … thinking tomorrow will be also.
I did a little grocery shopping and was amazed at the hoarding that some shoppers were doing. The couple in front of me at the checkout had a bill in excess of $400.00 … six containers of ketchup, many packages of meat and on and on; fortunately they opened another register and I moved over there. I must admit that I hoarded items important to my way of life … chocolate bars, whipped cream, diet Pepsi, blue cheese and black olives (yum) and since most of the meat was gone, a six pound beef filet and they kindly cut it up into 8 oz steaks. Actually not much more expensive than ground sirloin since Basha’s have the fillets on sale for $8.99/lb and I like them better too. Life will return to normal, whatever that is and until then the adventure continues.
Have a beautiful day … highly recommend avoiding television and social media … always a better day when you do that.
Cheers,
Ted
