My Mets might be able to use you. <br />Few things are more appreciated and satisfying to this blogger than receiving comments and feedback, so thanks, love.boxes. And making it even better is the fact that you shared a related tale, so thanks again for that and also for your kind words. I try my best to keep these posts entertaining and I hope you continue to check in and continue to contribute.<br />Take care,<br />nycityman (Jon)nycitymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614887858413574150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244041058266748662.post-42480845602455236562011-05-07T10:43:15.794-04:002011-05-07T10:43:15.794-04:00Instead of pigeons, in Utah we have the California...Instead of pigeons, in Utah we have the California Gull. Because of "the miracles of the gulls" who once saved the mormon pioneers from starvation and instiction, they are the state bird and cannot be destroyed (how long do we have to be grateful?) Like your pigeons they are a mess. They are also kind of big and bold and they will steal your picnic. <br />I'm not as good as you. I took my nephew to the park and one of those muggers tried to steal my little nephew's one and only granola bar, without which we would have to go home. I was so frustrated I took my clog off and threw it at the bird (I can't hit the broad side of a barn) but this one time I nailed this bird in the air and it fell to the ground with a collective shocked gasp from all the moms and kids there feeding the ducks. Shame.<br />I have mixed feelings about my act of violence. These birds are like gangs. They are driving nice people from public spaces. They aren't nice like the ducks. They don't share.<br />Recently a Catholic artist was invited to show his work at the state capitol.. He used the Calif. gull to illustrate the 7 deadly sins. Vindication? :)<br />Love your writing.love.boxeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02450621259116289517noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244041058266748662.post-46418132721599385792011-05-04T00:45:07.959-04:002011-05-04T00:45:07.959-04:00Is it more wondrous than the Bronx?

And when I write political stuff, I'd even welcome opposing viewpoints in response. Anyway, thank you again, and next up will probably be a guest blog and I extend a similar invitation to you if you have something you'd like to share.nycitymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07614887858413574150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8244041058266748662.post-79221938912988489862011-05-03T14:46:27.773-04:002011-05-03T14:46:27.773-04:00Wow!!
