Okay, so where are we?

So we're in St. Johnsbury. We're in St. Johnsbury in a parking lot in the shade

sitting in my convertible and we aren't just about to go deliver the little

fallen angel owl that hit no just lay it on me that I don't want any fallen angel I want just like okay

there's a so I have a frozen allet in my trunk I mean let's should be real okay okay

okay okay wait let me start over. Okay, ready, here's your little.

It's my friend Susan, she's a private investigator, and I interview her a lot for my show.

Last week, she hit an owl with her car and it died.

She didn't want to leave it on the side of East Warren Road,

so she took it home and put it in the freezer.

And she started calling around the state to see who could use a dead owl and it turned out that the Fairbanks

Museum in St. Johnsbury could. They said they'd stuff it for their exhibit or

maybe use parts of it for their science programs. So Susan drove up to St. Johnsbury with the owl in a

cooler in her trunk and I met her in a parking lot near the Fairbanks Museum.

It's a big, it's a big freezer. I have a big blue Coleman cooler here.

Oh my. And I have a couple bags of ice. Some pellecrenrino and I do have a drink that's pulling I figure that's somewhat

sanitary because it's not open yet this is the owl do you want to see it yeah

before I bring it in there yeah I mean it does feel really more Do you want to see it? Yeah. Yeah.

I mean it does feel really morbid to like have it in, it's in a white plastic bag that I'm tied up.

I'm hoping that nothing, I hoping it didn't freeze in the wrong like a bad expression on its face or like with its neckle in the wrong direction but I think it's it's really it's really like look at these feet.
