A couple of days ago I was looking out the window and I saw a crow flying around. He came to rest on top of a tree.

I don’t mean one of the top branches, I mean the very tip of the tree. You know how hemlock trees droop on the very top? I’m no tree expert, but I at least know that much. Anyway, that’s what the crow landed on.

I’m pretty sure I’ve seen this happen before and it made me wonder: do the tips of hemlock trees droop because crows sit on them or do crows sit on the tips of hemlock trees because they droop?

It’s kind of a chicken-and-the-egg kind of thing. Except instead of having a noisy, irritating bird that can’t fly it involves a noisy, irritating bird that can fly.

Oh, and one’s delicious.

Did you know I used to be a professional chicken hypnotizer?

Food for thought.
