Hey we're back! : D Maybe a bit rusty. But! Just one more page in this episode, then next week it's on to episode 35!

Also, I saw a stork today! Almost didn't at first, even though the path took me within about 30 feet of it, because it was standing so still–on both legs, in the shallows of a small island in a duck pond in the park.

After I walked on and turned back, I saw it had started stepping oh so slowly along the shoreline–looking, I suppose, for tasty little fishies or something to spear with its 8-inch beak. Its incredibly slow, deliberate walk, where it moved each long leg almost individually, but with an eerie, even fluidity, leaving not so much as a ripple in the water, made me think of an alien tripod machine from The War of the Worlds. It would be the most terrifying thing to see if you were a little thing cowering in the shallows, I'm sure!

The ducks were giving it a wide berth. : P
