I really should have cynically put the dead bird in a bag and thrown it in the trash bin.
Now I can’t stop looking at the spot where I buried it, thinking about it, wondering about it, sad about it. It’s creeping me out.

Well, the fun part is over. Tomorrow morning the entire Washington area will go back to work. Instead of news coverage of a city still and quiet, except for the sound of kids sledding, the 11 pm news is filled with doom [more...]
