The Tide is High

Disclaimer: I know, I know what's with Blondie. Hey, give a chick a break I'm running out water themed song titles. I know I can't explain the song titles obsession, I think it's just my thing. I'm open to suggestion if you have something better in mind.

This morning I took my usual morning stroll along the water. It's something I enjoy to, it's always nice to get away from my desk. And besides there's something I find soothing about the water. I don't know if I can quite explain it. Although there is something calming about watching the waves crashing against the shore. There's something about that the squishy noise that the waves make that is rather soothing. And there's something special in the way the waves have a glistening sparkly effect when the sun is shining on the water. Say I'm cheezy but something about it makes me smile.

As I was walking back, there was this bird that I see from time to time with a broken wing. The dude or dudette, I'm not really sure which, I've seen from time to time since around the summertime. I feel bad for the bird, from time to time I see him or her hoveling along the water. Often, I wonder how the bird manages to eat. What the gulls do is dive for a what I assume is a shellfish, and then they fly up in the air than throw down on the ground for it to crack. Afterwards they pull the remains out of the shell and eat it. Needless to say it's probably difficult for this poor thing to survive. I guess it shows how nature's survival instincts kick in when it's a question of life or death. Anyway as I was looking at this bird I was wondering how the poor eats, after all when I pass by it starts shivering. But then I look a little closer and I see the bird has put on a decent amount of weight. It is starting to have that stumbling pigeon look. I guess since he can't fly he hasn't been getting his daily cardio workout in. Maybe he needs to start doing jumping jacks or something. Hmmm on second thought it might be rather difficult for him to do jumping jacks with a broken wing.
