DAY OF THE CONDOR

Once upon a time there was a giant condor (wing span: 3 meters) named Augustus T. Condor the Second. When he was knighted, he was, of course, Sir Augustus T. Condor the Second. Because he was knighted due to valor and bravery in the Crimean War, he was, upon his knighting, Sir Augustus T. Condor the Second, Lt. General of all Armed forces in Crimea (Ret’d.) He received an honorary degree from Harvard for his accomplishments, particularly those secret ones in Crimea, and the next thing you know, welcome to Sir Augustus T. Condor the Second. Lt. General Of All Armed Forces in Crimea (Ret’d), ph.D. We used to like to call him “Doc” when we saw him swooping down towards the barley fields in search of untitled field mice. When he missed, he cried like a baby. A baby pigeon. A baby pigeon in the dark who misses his mommy.
