Up To Their Necks in Emus

This doesn't sound like a problem to me - more like paradise:

The big, flightless birds have always lived in the bushland that surrounds the town of Nannup, which has a population of around 1,300 people. But the emus began showing up in the town center in the middle of last year, and haven't left since, said Tony Dean, president of the town council.

Standing up to 1.9 meters tall (6.2 feet), the emu is Australia's tallest native bird and one of the world's largest bird species, according to conservation group Birdlife Australia. Emus are related to ostriches and another native Australian bird, the cassowary.

There are about three families of emus roaming the town, a total of 20 to 40 birds, Dean said. The emu parents laid their eggs about eight to nine months ago, and led their chicks -- only a few inches tall at the time -- into the town. Now, the chicks are impossible to miss, standing around 6 feet tall (1.8 meters).

With Lights Out, More Fun Ensues

Side effect of last week’s crash into the light pole in the alley behind my house: the darkness is now host to a social gathering at 3 a.m.

Lights Out In The Parking Lot

Heard the crash in the alley Wednesday evening, January 8th. A fellow drove into a telephone pole and No Parking sign. Flattened the poles, with live wires down, and everything. There used to be guardrails here in the late 90s, but they were removed after a neighbor with drug issues drove into those early one morning. I guess people will eventually drive into everything, if they get a chance.
