Sat in my brother's back yard once watching the little birds in the bushes torment a hawk sitting on the wall alongside the bushes knowing that he was too big to go in after them. They really were being jerks. They weren't defending anything--they just recognized their advantage and were using it to be pests. Any idea that animals are stupid is definitely wrong.

Not sure what you’re used to driving but I’m pretty sure every model year of Focus has had very good handling for the economy car section. Maybe it was beat to hell or something was wrong with the suspension?

My 2014 is fantastic still.

We've had a Bald Eagle fishing the stream behind our house all winter. I always know he's on the prowl when I see the Blue Jays get all worked up. They hate the eagle.

As far as I've seen, the eagle has absolutely no interest in the Blue Jays.

I have to admit, one time when I was walking out to the trash can and the eagle, previously unseen, took flight from the tree in front of me, and it momentarily spooked me. Their size is startling.
