I watched a long long long string of honking geese flying sorta north-west (and even THAT isn't according to the directions) today, all of them refusing to "fall in", "belly up", and "fly right!"
Global warming? Standard Pacific time? Genetic disposition to be non-conforming?
Perhaps they were rehearsing for some air show later in the month, and really just got beyond the cover of the trees and then rearranged themselves. One would hope.
You can't blame the lead one for what the ones behind it are doing. It was them who were being obstinate, not the leader! (It reminds me of in church when everbody sits on one side for some reason, & then you pretend that the church is going to tip over if some of us won't move over to the other side to make it balance out.)
