Carl, a Northern Parula, had missed a turn on the southward migration and ended up in Texas. He was upset and missing family, and the kids kept calling him "Carola Parula" instead of his real name. And he had always heard that Texans were hospitable, kind, and friendly . . .
Location, Location
The realtor had pointed out the incredible view and the downtown location, but he had failed to mention one of the seasonal downsides of the Stork family’s new home . . .
A Little Fuzzy
Even though friends said Colorado’s recreational marijuana was harmless, Chica and the girls found their instinctive navigation skills were more than a little fuzzy after just a couple of tokes . . .
Truth in Advertising
Justin thought that when in Texas, truth in advertising should mandate they be “Mudhill Cranes” not “Sandhill Cranes.”
Cold Feet
Glen and his buddy Thom had talked of staying the winter in Idaho, thinking there would be little competition for food, but as the snow began, Glen got cold feet . . .
Shovel Ready Jobs
Karl and Claudia were disappointed; while summering in northern Wisconsin, they had heard that there were shovel ready jobs in Texas, and so migrated early. Even though they were Northern Shovelers by birth (hatching?) and had their own shovels, there were no jobs; all the funding had been spent on Solyndra.
