On my way to work. good morning.

In honor of International Crow & Raven Appreciation Day, I’ll share a story from my park ranger days.

A person's hands using finger tips and thumbs to hold a sloppy stack of sub sandwiches. Quite a variety. BBQ chicken, tuna, spicy Italian. They look delicious if not a little manhandled.
