Crows

Ok so i have been in Germany for 7 months, 17 days and 9.5 hours. I have met some interesting people, seen some interesting things and smelled some interesting (interesting is my nice word for effing sick) smells. When it rains here in the little town of Baumholder, it smells like sausage. On a hot summer day a stroll through the town will have YOU smelling like sausage, not sure why since i haven't found a sausage factory...hmm...maybe they stuff sausage in their homes huh? i know the Kitchen Aid stand mixer has got to have an attachment for that.

Well among the other oddities of living here are the crows.

At first i thought they were ducks, flying over my housing area heading south for the winter, how sweet right? i actually get to hear tons of excited little ducks flying south. They were flying frequently starting at 5am stopping at 9 starting at 6pm stoping at 11, (i have no life lol so i time them). I thought it was a little tooo hard to believe that the ducks were still flying south for winter (this started in Sept.) after all our winter is pretty much over. Thats when i decided to get up early and take pictures of them. Much to my surprise they weren't ducks at all, but crows. They were perched on top of building 8827, my building. No other building was being infested, so we were pretty much the only people being bothered by the crows wake up call. It is really eerie and creepy to see them swarm overhead, they circle the building then perching on the top, singin their creepy music for all of the residents of building 8827 to hear...weird!
