Cannibalism is gross

So Matt and I jammed out of work yesterday down to the beach to catch the first sunset we've seen in months. Ya, that's right, SUNset. It's back, and this time it might stay for a few days!

There we are, down at Coulon, huddling close in the cold, reflecting on the amazing beauty of the lake, the way the colors swirled around atop the water resulting in a look like paint on thick, black oil, and being generally romantic as we watch cute little duckies swim past us when---ahh!! Horror strikes!

A giant bald eagle swoops down out of nowhere to peck out the eyes of said cutest duckies ever! He comes back a second time, as ducky's friends try to save him. But alas, as the third attack comes, he grabs the little thing with his giant talons and yanks him clean up out of the water and flies away for a nice little waterfront dinner. Oh, so sad. And gross.

Matt argues that it's not cannibalism. But I say, if you have no arms, feathers for hands, little beaks, and generally go around being known as a bird, than an eagle and a duck are the same thing and that was a gross display of cannibalism. But they're different, says Matt. My reasoning was this: were all human, sure, but Asian people are generally smaller than Americans, have a different shade of skin, and maybe different facial features. But we both have arms, mouths, and generally go around being known as humans--but we don't eat each other!! Yuck.
