"Shooting Eagles"

Every year I think I'm gonna get some good shots at the Bald Eagles, which arrive here sometime in NOV and leave either when things freeze over, or sometime in January. My arthritis and the weather, even a light breeze, makes that difficult. So anyway.....

Wandered into one of the local "thrift" stores and this irritating bubbly guy "Well,", he sings out, "and how are YOU doing today?"

"I don't think I HAVE to tell ya, do I?" says I


"Well no" he says


"Well I'm doin' OK, a little irritated that the weather guy lied. It was supposed to clear a little this afternoon, and I was hopin' to shoot a few Eagles."


He takes a moment to mull that over and says "Shoot Eagles? I didn't know you COULD shoot Eagles."
(Bald eagles are protected by federal U.S. law)


"Well," I says, "I DO use a Canon."


"CANON??!! Isn't that a little weird?"


"Well I don't know, ya 'spect me ta use a NIKON!!??"


So I guess he finally GOT it.


SO on the way out the store, I told him, "If you hear a loud click, it's just my Canon going off!!"


"Yesssssssss, I guess I finally got it" he admits.
