Pate, anyone?

The on ramp to the freeway is a scant half block from my parking lot, though the bottom of the ramp is hidden by freeway support pillars until you start to make the left turn onto it.  Imagine my surprise when I turned the corner (at what may well have been an immoderate speed) to find two geese meandering across the lanes of the ramp.

And I do mean meandering.

Stupid geese were already well into the lane my car was barreling towards; good thing there are three full lanes at the bottom of the ramp.  I was able to go around in the third lane, while the geese simply continued on their way. oblivious to the vehicle that could flatten them zipping past a scant three feet away.

I can't help but wonder if the next car through decided it might be nice to have goose for Thanksgiving instead of turkey...
