MX-5 1, Mynah 0

This evening me and the boys met up at our local and had more drinks than usual, for rea­sons unbe­knownst to ourselves.

In between drinks, I mes­saged the ex in Hong Kong a birth­day greet­ing, and mulled over where I was in life. This spell of intro­spec­tion thank­fully lasted only till the next drink.

Me and the boys drank, ate chicken wings, hot­dogs and drank some more. And we laughed a lot. One of those pub meet­ings where you laugh a lot, then you go home and think hey, that was fun, but you can’t remem­ber what you laughed about.

JH did cause a pause when he told us about his ‘seri­ously weird’ after­noon with his car. He was dri­ving his Miata down a leafy stretch and a mynah flew very close across and past his wind­screen, and before he could mar­vel at the sight, that mynah’s com­pan­ion mynah couldn’t quite fly clear of his wind­screen, and clipped it’s legs on his wind­screen, caus­ing it to hur­tle low across the road much like an Impe­r­ial Tie-Fighter after being hit by an X-wing’s laser cannons.

For some rea­son, JH was very dis­turbed by the event. We pushed another drink his way. Then we asked what his car num­ber was, so we could go buy Four-D.
