hmm... looking at pictures, I'm now pretty sure it *wasn't* a Cooper's; it didn't have stripes on the tail, it had a more or less solid rusty red tail. and no, it wasn't a redtail hawk, it was *far* too large... I think! lemme check.
Just a headsup that *the* Calvin and Hobbes story is starting its rerun.
heard the crows going off, looked out the window, and saw a largish hawk in the tree branches just outside my office! I want to say it was a Cooper's, because I know they were nesting here last summer, but it seemed a little big for a Cooper's. it moved to another branch farther down the row of apartments, then to a branch in an evergreen where it had cover from the mob--and where I also couldn't see it any more.

dreamed about riding buses, trying to find gluten-free tea (??? wtfever I guess it's an anxiety thing), trying to keep the uncountable number of cats inside, and then being followed at night by a couple of knife-wielding thugs (white) until I ducked into a dark alley and they hurried around the corner and right into a *really big* set of sharp pointy teeth. ^____^ take *that*, nightmare scenario.
