Adults Venture Outdoors: Find Calamity, Dead Animals

Yesterday's weather being what it was, we took to the streets.
The natural results of such unusual behavior:
  • Matt's Vespa broke down 3 blocks from my apartment. 500 lbs of machinery Euro-cute to ride on, not so cute to push down Hennepin.
  • Lost my wallet (in my sweatshirt pocket). Found it there only after cancelling the cards and looking suspiciously at everyone I passed.
  • Encountered two perfectly-preserved dead animals and an empty plastic bottle of white grape juice. I hate to be obvious, but I think we all know where this story is going. The animals had a little too much to drink and died of hypothermia. Or, the squirrel got violent with the mallard before he eventually turned the bottle on himself.
