Falcon eggs MMm, mmm, it's what's for dinner!

(I wanted to post a picture of Falcon Eggs, but all I could find was copyrighted ones, sorry!)

Everybody loves the ongoing story of the nest of baby Falcons in the PP&L tower, and today PP&L executives, in an effort to show they aren't the heartless, greedy, money sucking bastards consumers think they are, announced plans to help a needy family with their Electric Bill.
Company Spokesman Will Killowatt announced at a noon press conference that PP&L has an ingenious plan to profit from the next batch of eggs.
"We will be harvesting the eggs from that nest immediately after they are laid, and auctioning them off to the highest bidder" he announced with a grin.
"The proceeds will be used to pay the bill of an inner city family, or possibly, be donated to the political campaign of one of our needy politicians, whichever we deem more feasible at the time. Just imagine the omelet you could make with those babies!"
Local environmentalists immediately expressed outrage, and activists from Hawk Mountain vowed to climb the outside of PP&L Tower and steal the eggs if necessary, to protect them from company executives that they described mildly as "misguided." Local Green Peace activist Shrieka Harping vowed to launch PT boats in the Lehigh River and sink the boat of any PP&L exec, cruising it. (No one bothered to tell her that they all go to Ocean City, but let her dream.)

In other news, a body was found floating under a bridge to Hokendaqua over the Lehigh River, and several local bloggers immediately blamed Mayor Pawlowski for putting it there, ignoring that the river flows into Allentown from that point. They also claim the Mayor is responsible for a fight at a Bethlehem Pool, (He probably started it), a robbery on West Reading road, (They are probably stealing to fund his re-election campaign) and the heat wave (He probably has friends in Chicago releasing excess greenhouse gases from secret manufacturing plants releasing their pollution and targeting it to settle directly in the valley, and they pay him for covering up that they do it.)
There is also 4th hand evidence that he may be behind the theft of air conditioners throughout the city, as he regularly drives around the city meeting with residents, and was in the neighborhood of some of the thefts on the same day they took place. Yeah, our Mayor, he's capable of doing just about anything.

Wow. Who knew our mayor was so underhanded and crafty. I'd better bolt my AC to the window so he doesn't snatch it for scrap metal. (I hear he's selling them to junkyards to fund that re-election campaign.)

This is the first time I've run into your blog. It made me giggle. Good work.

That crack about air conditioners is a good one Sarina. I'm still learning my way around blogs. Do you have a blog? I'll have to click on your name and find out.
I'm glad you weren't offended, I'm only poking fun and being irrelevant. Some of these people take themselves WAAAAAY to seriously!
