Sky Watching on a Friday

As a kid, I remember looking to the sky and seeing buzzards (turkey vultures) flying through the air. If there were at least 5 or more in one area, then the old folk would say, “there must be something dead near-by.” My dad was one of these people and told me they could smell a dead body and would soon fly down to eat it. I took that as law and never questioned it until today. For the past month, buzzards have been flying around my neighborhood and landing in the pine trees. I never seen these motherf*ckers land in a tree. Have they been living there the whole time? Do they have big azz nests up there? I don’t know, but it got me thinking. What if they old folk were all wrong? What if they don’t smell dead bodies, but instead they are spiritual beings that sense death in advance? They could literally be the pets of the grim reaper himself.Damn! I have no evidence of this yet, but ya’ll keep an eye out on my neighborhood just in case some sh*t pops off. iKidduNot.
