Stork Fighting on My Roof

I've been away for a few days trying to intelligently comprehend what I saw on my roof the other day, and what I had to do afterwards.

You'll be glad to know that I walked to the Post Office yesterday, the rain was over, still kind of balmy and I got some exercise, yeh............  Well as I was within 1 block of our house I noticed this large bird flying overhead, kind of like circling the area.  I was a little confused, first by the size of the bird, and second what was that hanging from it's beak.  First thing I thought of was some large bird migrating south for the winter and trying to eat it's prey while flying.  But no it just kept circling the block, and I soon lost track of it, because I was watching traffic.

As I approached my house I happened to glance up at the roof and there was the bird standing beside my chimney, still with that thing in it's mouth.  I looked around for something to throw in that direction in an effort to chase it away.  I found some sticks on the ground that had been dislodged from the trees during the recent storms and picked up a few.  Finally when I got the throwing range dialed in I started hiting the chimney and the roof in the area of that bird.  It would not leave the roof.  It would fly above the chimney to a height of about 15 to 20 feet and then return.  I then noticed that the thing in it's mouth was not some prey, but a blue cloth hanging there with some type of a bundle inside the cloth.

Now I was getting worried.  I got out the ladder, because I was going to have to climb up on the roof and shew it away, or find out what the heck was going on.  You know how that goes, first I had to clean up part of the garage to get the ladder out of there.  Then get it set up against a lower part of the roof so I could actually climb up on the roof.  As I got up there and got closer to the bird I finally noticed that it was a stork, and of course it couldn't be bringing anything to this house.  I mean What the HEY!!!!

The stork was by now somewhat agitated and wary of me, but I was able to talk calmly and it seemed to make a difference in the storks demeanor.  As I slowly worked my way closer to the stork, I noticed a small piece of paper attached to the side of the cloth pouch.  I finally got close enough to read the letters that were on the paper, and it was for an address 4 blocks south of me and 2 blocks west.  HOLY COW was I getting the heebie jeebies until then.  I told the stork to turn in her old GPS and get a new one and sent her on her way......................  The end.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, did I have you going for awhile.....

Of course I made that all up, well, I did really walk to the Post Office.  I'm doing great and haven't had anything to post so I had to let you know I'm still here and doing fine.  I'm still trying to figure out if I can make it has a writer when I can't do anything else.  Still have a sense of humor, have a nice day.

God Bless, Captain
