Last night, in the time I had before the CNN weekly meeting, I decided to explore Bodega, the next region on my road trip. I had just rezzed up my car and was cursing to myself after the third smash in the first 30 seconds when who should appear but my mate Osprey, bumming a lift Obviously she hadn’t heard about my driving as she allowed me to drive her home – is she mad?

Once there, after a few bumps and scrapes along the barriers, she took me down to the water of her home to see the new kingfisher that has moved in (Osprey never names her critters but he told me that was his name was Keith). She also took me up the hill (not a euphemism) to she her woopecker (also not a euphemism), Wilma and her squiggle, Sebasian. Oh! and lest I forget, her turkey, Atta.

I was admiring all this wildlife when *poof* in popped Enjah! As my camera was right where she appeared at the time, I got a hell of a shock We chatted a while and took some pics before their friend, Art, trotted over to join us – we entertained the delightful little fella with a dance from the next The Show Must Go On.

It was at this point I had to leave (boo!) to get to the weekly CNN iReporters meeting where I spent a lovely hour with Janey and Pinkie (yay!) and Jim, Nicole, Hibiscus and the others discussing the CNN iReport site, upcoming stories and Janey’s current story on content theft.
