You can not make this up

Okay so I feel like a loser for doing the last 3 posts in a row but I think yall need to hear this. This morning my power went out. Mom was at work and Jason and I had to go get groceries. We figured the electric company is just working on something so that the neighborhood will be down for a while (I don't know why we immediately assumed that but we did). On the way to Publix I thought I'd call my neighbor and see if they were out too...they were not. So now we are thinkin' there must be something wrong with just our transformer or something and if we go get groceries they may just go bad if something is really wrong and we don't get power for a while. We turned around and went home. As soon as we got there I saw some buzzards kind of circling our yard. We looked up to find that a black vulture has decided to lodge himself in our transformer. Just his rear end was sticking out. We called the electric company and they came out only to find that there was no longer a buzzard in the transformer. Still alive, the nearly zombie-fied vulture had lofted himself about 30 to 40 feet away from the pole and into our yard. He was paralyzed so we wanted to put him out of his misery but we weren't sure if it is illegal to shoot buzzards. We called animal control to give us the okay. It took two shots with the 22 to kill this beastly bird. I finally have power.
