There's a black bird sitting in front of my window facing me on the telephone lines. I noticed it since I got home at 4pm so not sure if it was there before but it's going on 2 hours. Is it just a bird or not a good sign. Hope to God just a weird bird that has been sitting in the same spot for that long since I have never seen a bird stay in one spot for so long.

"Indeed, were you to step on the tail of a snake it would not be so cruel nor half so fell as woman in wrath - vengeance is then their sole desire. Wrath is a sin, one of the seven deadly sins, abominable to the God of Heaven; and it is the destruction of the sinner. Any illiterate curate or parson can tell you homicide is bred of wrath; truly, it is the active agent of pride" (p. 239).

"...John came to life and threw himself upon this good woman. It was the best bout she'd had in years - he thrust away like a madman, hard and deep. And so the two students had the time of their lives till it was nearly dawn."
