My front bumper usually clears parking-lot burms/curbs(/kerbs), but today I managed to scrape the front left a little parking at Trader Joe's. This is mildly annoying, but if I hadn't done it, I wouldn't have gotten out to look at the damage, and I would have missed a crow feather lying right there in the little tree-planter-thingy I had parked next to.
This is amusing and serendipitous or whatever in itself, but when I came home with said feather in my hand, my dad said "oh! I found one of those outside and I picked it up for you, since I know you like them [a rather odd thing for him to do, actually]. I only saw it because it was sticking up out of the lawn like a flag."
This is amusing and serendipitous or whatever in itself (...is there an echo in here?), but one of the other crow feathers in my collection was one I found in the exact same position once -- sticking up out of the lawn.
If this keeps up, I'm eventually going to have enough crow feathers to make that feathered cloak I've always wanted. One begins to wonder if reading about feather cloaks in a book some years ago (...The Celtic Shaman? Maybe) and thinking "hey! wouldn't it be cool if..." is responsible for all this. I'm nowhere near the needed number yet (I can only begin to imagine how many I'd really need -- a couple of hundred at least, I'm sure), but still, I have sixteen of them now...
