I've been gouty all spring, but on Thursday I had a full-blown attack, and finally Dr. Z came across with the real drugs. It's a five day course, but last night's dose knocked it right down, so I took the bike out for a spin. Ornithologically speaking the coolest thing I've seen this summer was the big raptor at the West Seneca campus of Houghton College, but today's adventure was nearly as good. I saw a pair of loons on the Niagara River, and was dive-bombed twice by red-winged blackbirds. They hit hard. I've been attacked by one once before, and was glad of my helmet today.
