Bird in the house today. Wife called animal control, they showed up
but couldn't catch it. 30 foot ceilings.
I eventually got it with a pole and birdnet and sticky tape. When freed,
it didn't fly away. Eventually it died --twisting its neck and extending
its wings like they find fossils of birds and their reptilian ancestors.
Then, limp.
After that we let the cat have it, which was closure for him, and he enjoyed it. Thanksgiving for felines.

Yesterday hiking with the kid near the Santiago Oaks park, near the dam, I found a dollar bill on the trail. Day before, I had found one in the cash-return
of the grocery's self-checkout lane. What are the chances of two sequential
finds?
