Whole Foods

The most disgusting thing I saw in Austin, Texas

Bear with me people, I'm coming slowly back to blogging Smiling sOoOoOoooo ...

I am walking (either up or down) 6th Street on my way to finding hypo-allergenic food at that growing business bent into becoming the walmart of alternative foods, Whole Foods.

I'm way past Congress Avenue, maybe in the vicinity of Las Nueces, when I see this huge bird eating the rotting carcass of what smells like a dead rat. Ewwww!

First thought that pops into my mind after ewwwwwing : Wow, that looks like a turkey, but it's eating what smells like a dead rat?

Well, what do you know. Texas has a bird they call a turkey vulture.

UPDATE :
Just wanted to clarify that the bird was not disgusting. Seeing the bird eat a piece of putrescent and odoriferous carrion was the most disgusting I've ever seen.

Words to live by

"We all agree that neither the Government nor political parties ought to interfere with religious sects. It is equally true that religious sects ought not to interfere with the Government or with political parties. We believe that the cause of good government and the cause of religion suffer by all such interference."

— -- Rutherford B. Hayes, Statement as Governor of Ohio, 1875, from Albert J. Menendez and Edd Doerr, The Great Quotations on Religious Freedom
