> And waiting in my car at a traffic light this afternoon, I saw 2 Canada geese cross at the crosswalk. Many thoughts went through my head (Smart geese! They know to cross at the crosswalk! No, it’s just a coincidence. If the light turns while they’re crossing will I wait so I don’t run them over? Maybe I wish I could run them over but it would be too risky and messy…) So many thoughts, in fact, that I made a poll about it:
