i killed a pigeon today. (!!!)

yep, not even kidding. went to the afternoon giants game, scooting down mission street going about thirty-five, driving totally safe while still making it to class on time and i see the pigeons in the road eating something... they hear me coming, they fly up and one ran into my arm. AT THIRTY-FIVE MILES AN HOUR. i certainly yelled a four letter word. i couldn't believe that just happened. so i look in my mirror, turn my head and see this clump of bird on the ground with feathers slowly floating their way back down to the cement. I KILLED A PIGEON WITH MY RIGHT ARM, unintentionally, of course.

i'm kind of curious - did you stop, turn around, and take this picture, or did you just google 'dead pigeon?'

way to go, katz! no one likes pigeons, anyways.

i googled "dead pigeon"-- and this was one of the least intense pictures. some of the others had BLOOD!
