You Know What Really Grinds My Gears? Now with 3x more gears...

[psyang]

I think there is a bird turf war going on on our roof. Over the last couple years, on several occasions, we have noticed a flurry of small swallow-like birds zipping outside our balcony, along with a few large crows. Last year I found a severed bird leg, and later a bird wing in our backyard. It seemed to escalate when I found a small decapitated bird head on our balcony.

Found another bird wing this year, and now yesterday a decapitated squirrel! A little worried what to expect next.

Did that with wasps one year. As we killed them we impaled them on toothpicks, lined them up and stuck them in the ground a la Vlad the Impaler. Didn't seem to work and in hindsight perhaps not the best idea as it seemed to attract more of them. Seemed like a good idea at the time but there may or may not have been alcohol involved.

Is this a serious post?

Well, I didn’t mean literally “camp” in the downtown branch. Hopefully you knew that.

I mean, go to the main branch in Calgary. I wouldn’t expect anything useful to happen at a small branch. I had to deal with estate crap too, and it’s pointless. You think the RBC employee in the burbs can do anything? I go to The RBC downtown, the guy goes up to the 20th-whatever floor and comes back with my documents signed and completed. Better than messing around with a bunch of clueless, powerless minions.

You should stay inside. I think you’re next.

Did you leave the note? Seems like you probably skipped the note.
