The Territorial Humming Bird

Sunday afternoon/evening my family and where sitting around the kitchen table having just finished with dinner, where relaxing and chatting away. When my Dad noticed a Humming bird outside on the back deck behaving oddly.

He said, “Watch this Humming Bird.” Looking out onto the back deck through one of our large kitchen windows we could see a little bird perched on the top of a chair. When another Humming Bird came close to the bird feeder this little guy would take off and chase them away.

The little Humming Bird did this for several hours; each time another one would come up to the feeder he’d zoom off the back of the chair to chase the other away. It was quite entertaining to see them try and get around him.

Man or Beast?

So I was at Mavrick (a local gas station) filling my car up; when up pulls a small white truck and out climb 3 guys. Now it was a quarter to 6 in the morning and we’re all on our way to work. Except these men looked like they had just left the construction site after 10 hours of hard work. Clothes still filthy from the previous who knows how many days; 3 day old beards and to top it off the smell from a few feet way was certainly NOT fresh!

Now this is where I become confused as to whether they are men or beast’s… without any scene of decency 2 had groped themselves and the 3rd who was fueling the truck put one finger to his left nostril and blew out the other one towards the ground! (gag) then he spit yucky stuff towards my car.

TO SAY THAT I WAS DISTGUSTED, REPULSED, MORDIFIED…etc. is a vast understatement.

There are some days I wish that society hadn’t evolved past when women acted like a Lady and men where still gentleman. In other words manners obviously aren’t being properly taught to children now days.
