Morning Garden 20260801

A Broad-winged hawk was chasing a crow and temporarily landed 10 feet from me while I was in the garden. I had heard the crow "rattling," for quite a while before that. It's always interesting what I might encounter in my own yard. Was it purely an accident, or was the high intellect of the crow engaged in trying to bring the pursuing hawk close to the human, to throw it off the chase? Ground Beetle  Waiting Spider

Deadly Heat, Cars & Assholes

I went to Aldi, and there was a dog barking loudly inside of a hot car parked in the front, with the windows cracked open. I told the security guard who looked at it and did nothing. I told another employee who did nothing. So after a few more minutes, I called 911, and they transferred me to animal control, who was not answering. And finally, the guy came out, I told him he was going to kill that dog and he laughed and said he was only in the store for 15 minutes. It was 10:30am and already 90°F. The car was parked in full sun. What's my point? We all know what is right and what is wrong. We like to insist that police, teachers and OTHER people do the right thing. But maybe not enough people are willing to intervene themselves.
