4/12/08 – Serendipity Café, Rossport, ON
I had a double scoop of cookies n’ beef!
My eyes were glued to the window of the car today in an effort to spot Terry’s Taxidermy and Mounted Animal Nature Trail. I’ve just learned from Wikipedia, however, that it’s on Manitoulin Island and I’m not going anywhere remotely close. But even though I can’t visit the hotspot, I can still view my share of not-yet-deceased crows which seem to be abundant round these parts. I have never seen such huge, intimidating birds in my life! Today I saw one flying with a freaking snake in its mouth!!!
I went online and looked up any association between a crow and a snake, thinking it couldn’t be anything but an omen. I found this fable online:
THE CROW AND THE SNAKE
A hungry Crow spied a Snake lying asleep in a sunny spot, and, picking it up in his claws, he was carrying it off to a place where he could make a meal of it without being disturbed, when the Snake reared its head and bit him. It was a poisonous Snake, and the bite was fatal, and the dying Crow said, “What a cruel fate is mine! I thought I had made a lucky find, and it has cost me my life!”
Someone explain to me how this means that I will live a long, happy, properous life.
