Unexplained Die-Off

THIS HAPPENED YESTERDAY:

AUSTIN -- The mysterious deaths of more than 60 grackles, sparrows and pigeons that touched off a dramatic shutdown of a dozen streets along Congress Avenue ended in a cliffhanger Monday, with officials still uncertain about what killed the birds.
(The Houston Chronicle, 01/09/07)

On Friday, I'm taking seven well-dressed students to Austin for a speech tournament. We will be on the look-out for more dead birds. I will have my camera, in case we see any of them.

Dwight: Grab a Broom...you heard me MUSH...

Pretty much my favorite office moment.
