Birds Be Gone...

i've seen this happen many times and i have seen people react differently in each situation.  one of the most common things people do is point and laugh... the second common thing people do is get up and run them off.   today lidija and i and my good friend andrew went to a beach for a few hours.  while there, we noticed seagulls stalking food on someone's blanket, slowly making their way in 'for the kill.'  rather than watch these birds destroy a nice picnic that two strangers were going to enjoy (when they got back from the water), andrew jumped up and ran towards the bird.  you can imagine what happened next... the birds flew away and the people in the water were obviously grateful as they smiled from ear to ear and waved in thanks.
