better left unsaid

I’ve never liked gulls, they steal your french fries when you go to the beach. Any­thing or any­one that steals your french fries — or poos on your head for that mat­ter — doesn’t deserve your respect. But, put them in a photo and you instantly think ocean. Gulls that live on the ocean are much big­ger than the lake ones I knew grow­ing up, but they are def­i­nitely the same on the inside. Bug­gers. This one at least held his pose long enough for me to take its pic­ture, so this guy is alright I guess.
