A mother's devotion

Next time you're in the Thanksgiving section, you might want to take a look at the coaster structure over by the Pepsi Oasis.



Look right in the middle of the photo, where the steel structure comes together and there's a square piece bolted on right above a horizontal piece of wood.

See it?



A bird's nest!

Months ago, a clever mother bird decided this would be a great spot for her nest.

She no doubt saw (and heard ... and felt) the error of her ways when that first test train went out in April.

Suddenly she's in the low-rent district. Resale value just tanked.

At first it appeared the nest had already been abandoned.

It was hard not to worry a bit about unhatched eggs. Or tiny baby birds.

But then, that good mama returned with something tasty for junior.



Happy Mother's Day!
