Happy Monday, everybody. I hope you enjoyed your holiday weekend. I would also like to say hello to everybody in and around my neighborhood setting off fireworks until at least 3 a.m. last night.
Shout out to my dog, Frankie, who is not bothered by fireworks in the slightest. I know how lucky I am to be able to say that.
But back to the subject of my neighborhood, while out walking Frankie this morning, I saw a man walking his bird. Now, when I say he was walking his bird, I mean the bird -- I'm not sure what kind of bird it was, I only know that it was large and white -- was perched on his arm as he strolled down the street. I did not approach the man with the bird because if I had, he might have wanted to start talking to me about his bird, and that wasn't a conversation I was interested in having with him or anybody.
Now, this seemed strange to me, but stranger still is that this man was not the first man I've seen walking a bird. No, a few weeks ago, while walking around the neighborhood, I saw a different man with a different bird -- a parrot -- perched on his right shoulder. Now, I have lived in this neighborhood for nearly 10 years, and I have been walking my dog around it daily for the last seven years. I had never seen anybody walking a bird before, but now I've seen two in the last six weeks.

Is this a thing now? Have bird owners been instructed to begin taking their birds on daily walks? What's going on here? If you know, please, let me know. I need to get to the bottom of this.
Onto tonight's festivities.
