Hiding Out
Bird attempted to rest this weekend at the RBRWH after his trip to Scotland . He was going to 'kick back,' watch a little TV, and just basically relax. The first thing to interrupt that rest was twelve calls from George Bush, eleven calls from Dick Cheney, ten from John Kerry, nine people door knocking in support of local candidates or issues, eight calls urging him to vote for a law banning gay marriage, seven Native Americans banging at the front door to support a proposal on a local casino ordinance they are pushing, six Jehovah's witnessing, five kids a-selling school candy, four cats a-breeding, three Mormons preaching, two Wiccans witching and a partridge upset about enviromental degredation since she lost her pear tree to urban sprawl. Once Bird turned on the television and saw that every station was running campaign ad marathons it was almost enough to make him molt.
He finally found some peace and quiet, and as long as his wind holds out he should be safe until he arrives in St. Louis on Monday night for the lighting of the Gateway Arch.
Bird intends to vote for the anti-urban sprawl measure.
