Close Encounter with a Hawk

While I was driving home from work today, this hawk swoops down across the road right in front of my truck scaring the crap out of me... then it cut sharply to the left, came right in over the bank on the side of the road at ground level and grabbed a mouse that must have been in the grass next to a stump.  Never hesitating, it kept sailing right past my passenger side window and it turned and looked me in the eye and started flying away.  So cool!  That mouse is f*cked though...

Not my pic, but this is similar to what the hawk looked like after it swooped in and snagged the mouse

Breaking Teenage Curfew - Genius in the Making

So on the last night of being 17, my daughter who usually has a curfew of 11pm, has not come yet. Her strategy... to stay at her boyfriends house past 12 because she will be legally allowed to drive home and she won't miss her curfew because she will then be 18 and can come home when she wants... genius!

Teenage Curfew - The Race

Gotta laugh as my almost 18 year old daughter charges in the front door just as the clock turns 11:00, curfew time... she looks at the clock and throws up her arms and yells "Yeesssssss!"
