I work at Yorktown now. That’s a scary image.

Give me a good ‘ole North Carolina piggy instead. At least they’re too lazy to chase you.

I often feel as though I’m on an obstacle course when driving around the campus. In the past, I’ve held traffic for baby geese parades, waited for entire gaggles to cross, weaved slowly through deer and even once righted a turtle that had flipped somehow (with my long-handled ice scraper – I know a snapper when I see one)

I’ve also been chased by angry male geese – which is a ridiculous situation I’d recommend avoiding, if you want to maintain any dignity whatsoever.

Also, due to the reflective exterior of the windows, it’s possible to have these animals wander up and pause for a snack right outside your office window. One of OUR former managers (rhymes with butt) even had the nerve to complain to me about it when they moved him to building four.

Living “upstate,” I guess I take it more for granted. Thanks for inspiring the pause to remember and enjoy.
