On da bank of ...

On da bank of da O-HI-O river, New Richmond is a pleasant community to visit ... except when it's under water. The rest of the time, New Richmond offers a scenic riverfront having friendly folks, a tribute to those in the merchant marines, a tribute to those who served in the armed forces, a tavern or two, a marina, a beach where people often fish, and plenty of parking spaces. Also, a visitor will be entertained by a variety of hungry but well-fed waterfowl. Recently (I have no idea how long this critter has been frequenting the area) I encountered a pea fowl. A couple of weeks later, it was still there, so I guess it's a permanent resident. My wife said something about it (or one) attacking a child (news on TV?). So ... Kids - don't mess with the birdie! Watch Monte Python's movie about the Holy Grail and the rabbit that really ain't so ordinary. That might help clarify the gravity of the situation. maybe this ain't no ordinary peacock? Who knows? Ah, well, enough yakking, here's the photo:  (BTW - hahaha.  The spell checked insists that aint should an apostrophe in it.  That's a hoot!)
