Birds are out to get you, man.

The fog and the local wildlife conspired to scare the hell out of me this morning. A hawk burst out of the ditch right beside me as I drive through a wooded area. So close that I jumped and swerved. Pretty cool, once my heart rate got back to normal.

That does sound startling.

Ooh, interesting. Any idea what sort of hawk?

That's really cool but it would've scared the daylights out of me!

Whoa!

I got a REALLY MILD case of shingles - just three almost invisible dots on my ribcage - and it was surprisingly painful, so I would say, yes, get the vaccine! I'm told that, fortunately for me, each time you get it, it's less severe.

That's really cool - as long as you missed it!

That's supposed to be good luck! Frank's people think so, anyway. Glad you didn't hit him.

A real life Hitchcock moment!

Wildlife does have a tendency to scare the hell out of you on occasion. :-)

Oh wow, I bet that was awesome. Although yeah, I'd probably have had a heart attack too - it's nearly always alarming when wildlife appears out of nowhere!

We need more interesting wildlife here. I think the most interesting it gets is circling birds overhead or a peacock, at least the very interesting things.

Woah!
That would be cool AND scary. I'm glad you and the car are okay.

MEEP! Yeah, that would have made me scream. Glad you weren't hurt at all
