Chubby Pigeon
Yesterday afternoon I drove to Wilkes-Barre General Hospital to visit a member of my church who is having health problems. It was a nice day. A little chilly, but still sunny. I was enjoying my drive and as I pulled in to the parking garage I noticed that the hospital had installed a new ticket machine and a new gate. "That looks nice," I thought to myself.As I searched for a parking space, I wound my way to the upper levels of the parking garage. Turning a corner, a chubby pigeon looked up at me. It seemed like he was eating something behind a sedan and I may have startled him.
After my visit was over, I made my way back down through the parking garage. I came back to the same corner where I saw the pigeon a little while earlier. This time, something was different. Scattered all throughout the parking area were feathers. "Is that chubby pigeon shedding or something?," I wondered to myself.
Then I saw the pigeon, although this time he wasn't quite as chubby. In fact, now he was flat as a pancake.
Apparently the car he had been snacking behind backed up over him.
Note to self: Weight loss idea #34: "Eat lunch behind the mini-van."

What a terrible story, husband. :(
I realize it is just a pigeon, but it's still sad somehow.
I like your weightloss tip.. haha! Um so, I am so sad that you found the last post-it.. I really thought that it was going to be there forever. But congrats to the Post-It for making it a year and a month without being found.
Umm I can't say it would work very well but you can try it...just kidding. Anyway, this story is surprising to me. I feel that most of the time birds do not get hit. It is just not something that happens often but it is still funny.
