One day I was bicycle commuting next to I-405 between bellevue and renton on an asphalt bike path near the freeway and a woodpecker (about 10-12 inches long) flew right next to my right foot for about a hundred yards. It was amazing. I’m looking down on this bird flapping away, matching my speed, with his wingtip barely missing my foot. I’ll never forget it.

I would not immediately assume that the woodpecker's motives were pure.

At the risk of seeming rude, which risk is trumped by a requisite search for the truth...

...I ask you, do you have a wooden leg?

I’ve had butterflies ride the wind wave of my Motor home much like dolphins ride the bow wave of a ship.
