Lonita hears a hoot owl
It's not that I dislike owls, I don't. But are they ever bizarre-looking creatures. Some look almost evil. They certainly don't look like birds. They don't even look aerodynamic.
My grandmother has one of those fake owls on her balcony. Someone told her it would scare away pigeons. Perhaps in someone else's universe it does, but the photos we have of pigeons sitting on its head would seem to weaken the claim. I didn't know she had it until the day I went to hang laundry, looked up, and was confronted with its presence.
I believe my exact reaction was, "Fuck me!"
