wild kingdom

today i saw a roadrunner kill an inca dove. it was awesome, but a little sad too because inca doves are pretty cute.

first i saw a mourning dove kind of freaking out on the ground, then i saw there was a roadrunner checking it out. the roadrunner charged and the mourning dove flew off. then the roadrunner was super quick and snatched the inca dove out of a creosote bush! just grabbed it in its beak and whacked it on the ground a bunch of times. then it started pecking at it and eating it. it saw me watching and dragged it under another creosote bush, then i couldn't see much so i left. it was pretty cool, i didn't know roadrunners ate birds but i guess they eat pretty much anything.

other than that, i'm still waiting to hear about a really interesting job i applied for. its now been 8 weeks since the application deadline. never mind they originally said they expected to hire someone in 30-45 days. every 2 or 3 weeks i've checked in with them, and they just keep telling me, "maybe another couple weeks." argh!!

i also made a scrumptious strawberry pie this weekend.
