Layoff Notice - Black Grass

Date: 12/17/09 Thurs.
Place: ARC , Columbia, MO
Kites: Echo on 12'
Wind: 0.5 - 1.5 mph, SW
Weather: Cloudy, 45º

Today I got my layoff notice from my job at eMINTS (this was due to state budget cuts), not totally unexpected, but not very welcome either. So I did a 2o-minute fly at the ARC on my way home from work. When I arrived the grass looked very black. Then, very impressively, the black flew away! It was hundreds of blackbirds feeding in the grass.

I did some 360s, up-and overs, and some spirals. I didn't need my winter coat, nor gloves.
