Join Waukesha resident Brien Lee and his blog, Sir Fido, as they explore the city and report on the interesting things they find.
The odd thing about yesterday wasn't that a family member had the same surgery second time in less than two months. It wasn't that the whole family slept, or tried to sleep, at Waukesha Memorial Hotel (oops, I meant Hospital) to keep company after the surgery, though that itself was odd enough to keep the kids home from school Friday. Too tired, they said.
We had an unusual bit of country in the city yesterday as we walked toward the car to go to the hospital. We saw a rabbit running down the sidewalk. On two legs. Held aloft by a huge hawk's talons. The bird traveled forward with the adult-sized catch but just couldn't get it all the way airborne. We watched until it landed at the end of the block on a terrace next to Grandview Blvd. We drove that way as we left and didn't startle it so we got a pretty good look at a magnificient bird of prey fixing itself breakfast.
One less rabbit for Sir Fido to chase but still plenty to go around.
