Eggs!

I actually found two eggs this morning. They were in my fridge and they were delicious!
I believe they were chicken eggs...
Why is it that when Miley Cyrus gets naked and licks a hammer it's 'art' and 'edgy' but when I do it I'm 'drunk' and 'banned from the hardware store'?

That's gratitude for ya...
Rescued a baby bird yesterday, but neither he nor the family liked it.
Don't get me wrong, I like crows- they're funny and intelligent, but just a bit too temperamental!
See: I was walking to Target© , which is in the opposite direction of El Mercado and passing many 'industrial parks' ... (why do they call them that? It's no fun to work there; and yet they put up all this manicured landscaping that you're not allowed to stop and enjoy, even if it's your lunch break. Believe me, I've tried. I've tried stopping at a newly installed fountain with a 'Cup-O-Chowder' one day, and do nothing heinous, but mind my own business and eat ...but noooooooo. Security had to come out and tell me that this park was NOT for recreation, that it was for people for worked there. Regardless, that this was a Sunday and no one but he were working that day. I guess he needed something to do, since he wasn't allowed to just stop and enjoy the fountain either, I was told to move along, man ...but I digress.)
So, I'm walking to Target©, and up ahead on the sidewalk, I notice a black bird. Crows cruising the curb, are fairly common, so I didn't care ...and kept walking. Any moment, I'm expecting him to fly away, or at least do that hop/flutter/bop thing, they do to keep their distance. Finally, at a foot away, I notice he can't flutter, nor fly as his wings are still too small, and instead he hobbles away ...into the street. Sh!t.
Babies are babies, and I did inadvertently spook him, so I La Loca, also took to the street, to stop the cars, and try to herd the fledgling home. At which, his family in the trees, gathered not to cheer, but caw and boo at me for disturbing the baby.
Sheesh, I did it anyway.
Fearing he did not have the strength to hop the curb, and I would be forced to cup him up the concrete; I braced myself for the onslaught of angry birds ...!
Yet within the cacophony of crowing, he found the footing to flip himself up the foundation, and as he flapped towards the fabricated foliage, I turned to flee.
Most of the family, thought that was fine; Jr. was headed towards the hedges; while the human had done no harm.
However, to one crow auntie, I was still in need of some harassing, and she following me for about a block; hissing, displaying and cawing. So, I let her, and didn't display back by waving and shouting 'Shoo'; for she was doing the right thing. Better to build up her confidence in that technique; so that she'll keep using it to stand up to us awkward invaders
...And none of them tried to hurt me. No dive-bombing, or pecking; I could pass, just don't let it happen again, move along, man!
