Birds are often messengers: I taught high school for two years in El Salvador and enjoyed the tropical birds. One morning I noticed they were extremely active. I commented to a fellow teacher “the birds are extremely active this morning“. Three hours later we had an earthquake. That same teacher checked in with me at the end of the day, after we had spent much of the day out in the athletic fields. She reminded me what I had said first thing in the morning. I am glad she did, because I had not put “ 2 and 2 together“.

Thanks Matt, what a great story. It's a nice reminder to focus not only on looking but also listening to the world around us.

Thanks, Larry! I'm getting better by the day, but still in seclusion and regrettably off the stage until COVID/RSV/etc. have been better contained. I really miss performing! I hope all's well with you and your family. I always enjoy your postings -- keep it up!
