Well that was a shocker...

So, yesterday morning, I decided it was way past time to get back into the running schedule. I laced up my shoes, and decided to go exploring the new 'hood with the sunrise. Actually had a great run, and meandered my way over to the state park which is in our back yard. I was halfway down the long drive to the park, when I heard a child shrieking. I revved it into high gear, trying to get to whoever was in trouble. I expected to find a kid thrashing in the lake after falling in, or a dog bite.... What I didn't expect was to find the actual source was, yes, peacocks. Everywhere. No kidding. I actually turned around a full 360 degrees trying to orient myself... Cause I was pretty sure I started this run in the desert. At any rate, there I was. Surrounded by about 25 big, flamboyant squawkers.
