336. You never know who you'll run into on a walk.

I couldn't resist, and snapped a quick photo of two love birds this morning. The bird on the left turned around when she heard or sensed my presence.

"Did you just take a picture of me?"

"Yes, of the both of you. You two are just so adorable, I couldn't resist."

She gave me a dirty look. Hey, I thought, I recognize that look!

"Aren't you Shirley the She-Rooster?"

"No. Who's asking? I don't know you."

"Oh. I think you do. You stole my car, faked your death in a decoy car, and had everyone convinced I was an accomplice. Remember?"

"My! Some people like to hold on to the past, don't they?"

"Glad to see you haven't lost your sass, or your love of fountains." I continued, "Shirley, you have something else of mine, and I would very much like to have it returned."

"Fine. You'll find it at this spot. I don't know when, but it'll be here for you."

Her fat friend is hot. I use to have one, but he ran away...

I wonder if this is him?

No, MT. He's fat!

We don't mind though, because he's cute.
