Spring Fever

It's spring!  Little animals everywhere are busting out of their holes and caves and eggs.  I'm seeing lots of foxes out there.  And rabbits.  And hungry bears.  And chickens.  And everybody is sniffing at the air and waiting-- not sure how to use the new spring love vibes-- run in circles?  Dig a hole?  Eat a worm?

Last night was an experiment in perspective.  I left three animals:  a three legged shepherd dog, a tropical bird, and a turtle.  But I didn't place them with specific people-- just left them around: one on an ATM machine at the Blind Elephant, one in a hole in the wall at Buddy's, and one in the jukebox corner at the Barbary Coast.   It's more fun to place them with specific people, but it was weird weather-- lightening and rain-- and people were weird-- still in their shorts with sunglasses on their heads and seemingly not sure how it wound up to be Saturday night all of a sudden.  It seemed like a good idea to just set the little beasts free.

I watched two people use the ATM at the blind elephant and neither of them saw the little dog who was RIGHT THERE at eye level.  People are so funny! 

I can only hope the little beasts got sniffed out and found by the right folks.  Either way, they're free to roam.

Happy Spring!
