Studio Ghibli marathon on the big TV...:)
The workers asked what that noise was. We have feral peacocks that hang out about a quarter mile away. The sound caries and they were making a lot of racket.
I said they were peacocks, They didn't know what that was. I explained the big tail, colorful display. They still didn't know.
Then I said that they were known to eat dogs and sometimes people.
The one guy said that they wouldn't get him if he was out hunting. I said that others had said that - young 'machos', and then never spoken again. They laughed. I said we'd be okay down here.
Later, I sent them a YouTube of a peacock.

see Mother Goose walking near my car, with two little
yellow fur-balls behind her walking double time to
keep up and Papa bringing up the rear.
On high alert, she looks around, checking every sound,
and stops directly in front of my car...
Head up, neck straight, she looks straight at me, eye
to eye we connect for 3-4 seconds and I turn away....
Posing no threat, she continues on, ‘cross the parking
lot to the creek.
'The one and only', surreal indeed. I understand why you might be at a Burn's night, but what is he doing there? He's English isn't he?Quote:
