I watched a gaggle? group? bunch? of Canadian geese yesterday morning apparently getting organized to fly south for the winter. It reminded me of a conversation I had recently in the elevator. I am enjoying my elevator mini-conversations. Anyway, in this case one young lady in a group was from Canada. I'm not sure how the conversation got around to geese but the young lady informed me that in Canada they call them Canadian geese. Then she got off the elevator before I had a chance to tell her that that's what we call them here too.
But back to my nature observation. It was fun to look down on the geese from the 10th floor. While they eventually flew above the tree tops they never got as high as my eye level. There must have been at least 30 of them and they flew up, circled around, landed in a grassy area along the river and repeated the whole process at least four or five times before eventually getting their act together and flying off - west not south. Perhaps a failure in leadership? The whole process reminded me of what is going on in the Republican presidential race these days.
