Airplanes, Golf And Geese Don't Mix

I'm glued to the TV at present, watching Fox News. They're reporting on a US Air passenger plane that went down in the Hudson River after taking off from LaGuardia airport. It's possible that 151 survived this flight out of 151 who were on the plane. The pilot must have done an incredible job. If this isn't a miracle then I want to fly with this guy whenever I take off and land.
I get a kick out of news reporters. Some of their questions are sort of silly. One of the first survivors to be interviewed was a thirty-one year old businessman and father of three. The question is: "How do you feel"? People go to school, spending thousands of their parents dollars, to learn how to ask these things. Mindbogling isn't it.
Fox was initially running a blurb across the screen letting us know it probably was not terrorism. We now know that the culprit or culprits were those purveyors of poop on the bottom of our shoes. The cause of this accident was(were) Canadian Geese. They flew into the engines. If animals are so smart why would they do this? Actually, if animals are so smart why do we see so many dead ones lying alongside the highways? Fox News may have jumped the gun on debunking this terrorist report. Jihadist geese? Anything's possible.
Another question: Is there anyone who cares for these animals, PETA included? Well yes, I can think of one person but I don't know her name. Five, maybe six years ago, an injured goose at our golf course was captured by one of the migrant workers. I'm sure it had been hit by a car(the goose, not the worker). The man cleaned, cooked and ate it.(The goose, not the car) An old bitty who witnessed the alleged Crime of the Century and lived on the course called the local DNR and this kid was arrested, cited and fined. I didn't hear about this until sometime later but had I known I'd have paid his fine and given him an engraved trophy. Maybe this LaGuardia accident will start a movement to destroy all Canadian Geese. One can only hope. Phase two; cull the deer.
