Mmm, dinner

Weirdest thing to see on the way home from running errands: about eight vultures hanging around the front yard of a house around the corner from our place. It was a bit disconcerting.

Then, I see the appeal: a dead oppossum in the front yard. Check it out on the bottom left part of the picture. Hmmm, yummy. Was gross watching them pick at the carcass, too.

I didn't have my camera for the first swing by, but thought Hot Rod would delight in seeing this on the way home, so we went by to see it. The vultures were not happy with my presence across the street snapping pictures from the minivan, so several flew off before the shutter snapped. It is weird that we are in the city, but still in the country. There isn't a way to any of the three kids' different schools in which we don't pass some sort of livestock, whether it is cows or horses.
