2. Then go to a friend's house and eat first.

6. Ha - Ok you win. I wonder though, are we looking at a younger (weaker) bird - or is the fish

just THAT big?

Too, it was interesting to see an eagle "swim". I get the sense that they are not equipped for a water take-off(?).

[Uncle Joe]

8. I believe it was a combination of both; a younger bird and a large fish.

They're not ducks but Eagles can take off from water if they have a light or no load.

First there is the initial shock at the register, and then when I get home having to unload the car.

Peace to you, bananas

7. When I was in the Marines, on payday,

we used to say "The Eagle has pooped" (only we didn't use the word pooped.)

10. Yep - every meal was a feast, every formation was a parade, and every paycheck was a fortune! nt
