* moby - natural blues.
I saw the saddest sight this morning on my way to work. In the pouring rain on the side of the road, I saw a Canadian Goose standing by itself sort of peering across the road. When I glanced over to the median, I saw what must have been its mate - dead. When I went back out at lunch, both geese were still right where I'd seen them hours earlier. He wouldn't leave her. I don't know if he was waiting for her to get up and come back to him or if he knew she was gone and didn't know what else to do but it broke my heart.
