There are just certain places I don't want to see animals or insects and recently I've seen them in a couple of establishments that seen a bit out of place.
The first was during Nathan's well-baby check up.  There was an ant scurrying across the room.  I admit it entertained Nathan while we waited for the doctor to come in, but there's just something wrong with seeing an insect in a place where you'd like to think of it as a sterile environment.  The room where they do all of the child measurements also smelt like a month's worth of nasty body odor, so the cleanliness factor was already in question.  After a couple of other concerns and issues, this particular doctor's office is a one and done experience.  We're looking for a new pediatrician.
Secondly, I was thinking about that particular incidence when a bird flew over my head.  This may not seem like an abnormal experience except for the fact that I was in the grocery store at the time.  Don't get me wrong, I don't feel like I'm in danger of getting the Bird Flu or anything, but something about live birds and food just don't mix well.  Birds poop- as evidenced on my car and home, and quite frankly I don't want to find bird poop on myself or anything else in the store.  I was already slightly put out about this when I noticed they were already taking down the Halloween items.  Does anyone else remember when they actually used to wait until AFTER the holiday to take everything down and put it on clearance?  I know they skip over Thanksgiving because there's not much marketing value (one of the reasons I love it so much), but could they at least wait until Halloween is over to display all of the Christmas stuff?  Please?  Next year they may decide to skip Halloween altogether and put up Christmas items after the 4th of July.
Third- this has nothing to do with animals and insects, but I went to the Dollar Store to pick up a bunch of Halloween themed party favors for Nathan's playgroup, but much to my chagrin the majority of the stuff in the store was not $1.  Really?  Joel says I need to take into account inflation, but if that's the case then they need to change their name because it's not really a dollar store.  To which Joel replied, "Two Dollar Store just doesn't have the same ring to it."  He may have a point there.
