They're actually called 'Canada Geese'. They even have 'em over in Europe!

They weren't close, I guess, but of course my employee is shaken. I'm kind of at a loss for what to say other than letting him know it's not his fault and such.
Weird, weird situation.

I saw some Northern Pintails, Coots, Canadian Geese and a few others I didn't know with out looking them up in my book. So not a lot of variety but it's early in the migration. I thought I heard a Sandhill Crane but never saw one. Oh, and redwing blackbirds which I enjoy when they are singing. All in all a nice walk in the woods.
Since I took the highway to the preserve I saw commute traffic for the first time in months. Fortunately I was going the opposite direction which was comparatively free of cars and by the time I headed home all those other poor bastards had made it to work. Work? I don't miss it one bit.
You live on the Hwy 5 side of Sacramento, Les?

When I got home I realised that I am dys away from that night in 2006 when my right arm and neck started hurting during a performance at a friend's backyard fund raiser that led to my diagnosis of my neck disease. Fortunately nothing bad happened last night but it did give me pause.

So you're saying it didn't hurt and that surprised you?
Maybe if you just do it more infrequently.
My dentist had to retire because he couldn't do long procedures because his neck would hurt so badly after half an hour. The short stints didn't bug him, but he had to sell his practice after trying everything.

That brings me back up to five marketing/fundraising campaigns, since Philadelphia Orchestra took their business elsewhere.
