Quetzalcoatlus
As you can see in the picture my buddy came to visit again this morning. A brief visit that ended with the poor guy sportin' another headache. I startled him as I bolted for the safe haven of the indoors. EVERY bug in the state was hovering around or crawling on the Front Porch this morning!! In the 2 or 3 minutes actually sitting out there I was attacked and feasted upon by several of the many varieties of pterosaurs that live in this neck of the woods. There was the diminutive nemicolopterus I never so much as glimpsed, but their blitz attack resulted in over half a dozen successful strikes. Then the pterodactyls, along with their big brothers the pteranodon, launched their offensive. Blasted things. Three dime sized welts I'm giving them credit for. However, the assault from Quetzalcoatlus was unsuccessful thanks to my glasses. Choosing to target my face was his first mistake. Landing on my glasses was his second. The resulting magnification sent mind and body into total survival mode. One of monumental proportions. For those of you familiar with the game, think Fallout. Think STINGWING! I'll spare you all the details. The end results, I won the war but my muscles are gonna be sore for days after what I just put them thru, poor Chippy is nursing another massive headache and I'm quite sure the smears I just washed off my hands and glasses are all that remains of Quetzal. Take that, you wretched brute! As for the weather, I'm sure the day is a nice one. But I'm not going back out on the porch to find out. My wish for you, May your day be pterosaur free so you aren't forced to wash any Quetzal off your hands! I love you, my fellow Travelers!!
