Today's adventure:

During my run today I noticed a pigeon on the sidewalk where I was running. It was on its back with its feet in the air. I thought: what a bummer it probably go hit by a car and is now dead. When my foot landed next to its head, it move its head and blinked its eyes.  My next step was more like a leap then a stride; I contemplated what to do and decided that I could do nothing for the bird. On my way back it was still basically in the same spot and position. I am confident it had a broken back and could not move. I could not bring myself to put it out of its misery. So I just left it there.  That is a bummer too.
