<DIV>While in the Catskills this weekend we went to yard sales...one of our many
passions. We had all the windows in the BUV opened as it was a
beautiful cool morning. As we were driving along a bird hit the side of
our BUV. I mentioned to Steven, Wow that was close....about twenty minutes
later when we arrived at the next yard sale Steven exited the BUV and I
got out stuck my head in the back passenger window to check </DIV>
<DIV>on Abraham and sitting next to him was the bird. They
were both looking at me as it was the most natural pose. I am sure
he was stunned but what was so amazing is that Abraham let him sit there the
whole time...I am sure Abe probably gave him a kiss. I just wish I had
reacted calmer than I did and took the camera off the front seat and took a
picture but nooooooooo I got all excited and called for Steven and when he
reached in to retrieve the bird it flew off. </DIV>
