Run And Hide! Sheep Guts Are Falling From The Sky!

What was made clear from our day with the Badiane's was this:  Everyone gets fed on Tabaski -- the family, the neighbors, the poor, the cats and dogs, the insects, and certainly the rodents.  Everyone and everything sleeps that evening with a full tummy, be it my size, or fly size.

The birds also enjoy Tabaski, as Heather, a middle school teaching colleague, shared with me on Monday.  A sheep's trachea fell from the sky while her friend Stacy was out for a walk.  Now think about this:  How many times can you recall seeing animal guts drop from the sky?  But on Tabaski, anything's possible.  Apparently the trachea proved a little to heavy for whatever passing bird was carrying it.

See Heather's blog.

Added 12.14:  In the past week, I've heard a number of similar stories:  E., who lives in the penthouse flat above us, has found sheep parts on his patio; C. shared that sheep entrails fell from the sky just missing the hood of his car;  at an ISD staff part on Friday night, several recounted discovering sheep parts around their homes, and flopped on their cars.

On Tabaski, celebrated throughout the Muslim World, no one and no thing goes hunger.   All the same, watch your step, and save the car wash for after the holiday.
