racing to the red light

We have been on hiatus this past week, as I was on the east coast for business.  I have a ton of great stuff to share from the trip.

I the meantime, file this story under “I wish this was made up” and “tragic” as well as “surreal” – the case of a man apparently killed by a swan. And I mean like directly, not like it flew into the engine of his small plane or something.

He was a caretaker for the birds, for a company who used them to keep other birds like geese away from properties in the area. Evidently one swan attacked him while he was in a kayak and he drowned. Very sad story actually.
