Free Flying

Sometimes you walk around and everything feels heavy, like the weight of the world is on your shoulders. It doesn’t make your knees buckle but it makes you strain mightily to stand upright. You don’t know quite where this feeling comes from but it’s there. Your friends will stop you and say “Hey,dude, (if they still call you dude) you feeling heavy today, or what.” or “Whatsamatter Atlas, the world a little much today.”

That’s when it’s time for you to go to your quiet place. That place where you can sit back, close your eyes, and contemplate your navel, or any other body part you wish to dwell on. Maybe have a nice hot cup of tea, we recommend Twinning’s English Breakfast, but there are no requirements in the quiet place. Have what you want. Eat spaghetti if that’s what makes you feel good. The important thing is to be alone with your thoughts and convert them from dark, heavy, brooding thoughts to something light and airy and easier to handle.

Some people use drugs to do that. Don’t do that. It’s bad for you. Instead we recommend using the method brought forth in The Once and Future King, by T. H. White. That ‘s where Merlin taught Wart how to change into different animals so he could learn and understand some of the facts of life. You can use it for that too if that’s what you need, but you can also use it as a break and a get away from those heavy thoughts, the ones making you sad and irritating your friends.

Personally we like the to turn into a bird, in this case a raven, and leap off into that great wide open space over the Grand Canyon. Yeah, over that part that’s a mile deep. That’s the rush that changes your outlook. You’re light as a feather, or maybe a whole bunch of feathers, and all those heavy, ugly thoughts are spiraling down into the depths of the canyon.

You can glide in great swooping circles or hover in one place against the wind, or dive and soar or tumble in huge somersaults over the yawning maw of the canyon. Man that feels good. Now we like the bird part best but your mileage may vary. If so pick something else to change into and go at it. The deal is when you’re all done, all those miserable thoughts should be history. Unless you let them back in again. We  would caution against that. Be happy. It feels better.

Caught In A Murder

Many dastardly deeds are done in Bosque del Apache under the cover of darkness. But some are done even in bright sunlight. Drugs and violence and the arrival of gangs never before seen in the refuge are now common place. It’s gotten much worse since the advent of the internet and being able to get restricted bad seed and other prescription only drugs from Canada with nothing but a fake prescription and a fax machine. Consequently gangs have formed to take advantage of this situation and have infiltrated nearly every level of society in the Refuge.

Here we see a murder of Crows swarm a lone Eagle, a peace officer who had accidentally stumbled on them distributing bags of hallucinogenic seed. This was a shipment of treated Bulgar seed that had just arrived on the refuge disguised as medical supplies and food for indigent migratory birds.

Undeterred by his unexpected presence they brazenly rose up in a swarm to surround him and to force him to the ground where they in their superior numbers could do him in, thereby fulfilling their designation as a “Murder of Crows”, the most ruthless gang in the refuge. Filled with crows from Columbia and other South American countries they will stop at nothing to defend their territory and protect their profits. These are very bad crows.

Fortunately for the eagle the crows had been distracted by the business of cutting the seed with cheaper non-hallucinatory wild bird seed available in bulk from any of the big box stores. This is done to allow them to maximize their profits even more. One 50lb. bag when cut to street tolerances will provide enough seed for several thousand birds. It takes more and more seed per bird to get high, so the sales, and of course profits, go high-sky. Due to their being occupied with this process he was able to fly the through the crime site before most of the crows even noticed he was there. This didn’t stop the crows from rising up to confront him however and soon he was surrounded. The eagle was able to gain enough altitude to avoid the crows tactic of flying over him and pecking at his back with their needle sharp bills, causing him to fly lower and lower until he was grounded and then swarmed and pecked to death.

Due to surprising the crows and his superior ability to gain altitude quickly from the use of his powerful wings, our eagle was able to make his escape and return to headquarters. There a task force of Eagles and a few of the larger hawks were able to return to the sight of the crime to try and catch the perps in the act. Unfortunately the crows were able to make their escape by eating as much of the seed as they could carry and still get off the ground. The rest they pushed into the pond hoping to retrieve it later.

The peace eagle didn’t make the bust that he wanted to, but at least he foiled the Murder of Crows from creating one more victim. The crows will be back though, the possibility of making this much profit is too compelling for them to be run off by one lone eagle. And once the other birds get hooked they’ll be back in business again. The good news is our eagle didn’t get caught in a murder. His. He did cause one more drug center to be closed and for that we’re all thankful.
