Erik's Cloud 9

From St. Petersburg. Florida. It's a story that, while it made me feel bad for the woman's pain, made me laugh like a bugger! It seems a very hungry pelican decided to dive bomb a woman from Toledo (there's a joke right there) and it ended up hitting her head so hard that she had to be taken to the hospital. By the way, the pelican snapped its neck and died.

So, once again, human wins out over goofy animal. Let's hope PETA doesn't bring the lady up on some kind of cruelty charge. You might laugh at that, but I'm sure they've probably given it SOME consideration!!!

Oh, yes. Speaking about evolution winning out - the fine non-feathered friend of the cockroach (evolution's ultimate champ) the Wood Tick is back, so be very careful!!! I've already seen one speeding up my shirt and my 13 year old daughter had one on her the other day. If you're heading into the woods for any reason, or spend anytime near a grove of trees, make sure you check yourself on the way out. If you have long hair tie it up, and just keep an eye open for the little bloodsuckers!
