Fierce rodents, work, minor injury, gym

[redbird]

On our way to the subway, cattitude noticed a squirrel with something in its mouth. On a closer look, the something was a baby bird--probably a catbird, based on the presence of an adult catbird shouting on a nearby branch. I knew they were rodents and hence omnivores, but I hadn't thought of squirrels in terms of meat-eating, much less live prey.

I was trimming my chin hair with the scissor on my Swiss army knife, when my hand slipped and sliced my left index finger. I'm typing without that finger, having just rebandaged it (the first band-aid came off while I was exercising). The one good thing is that, by its nature, this is an injury to the non-dominant hand, so it doesn't interfere with proofreading (which is pen or pencil work).

I finished my latest freelance project on the railroad and at lunch, turned it in after work, and have already deposited the check (on my way home from the gym).
