My adventures on the Figueroa Nature Preserve
Note: I'm writing this notes since I've seem some comments about my uncle LEO being all over this nature preserve! Here is my story!
So one day not to long ago, I'm visiting the area and decided to take a nature tour down Figueroa since I have never seen the scenery in that area! Decide to put my binocular but did not see any birds of interests. Decide to head back to the hotel when from the distance I see this two gorgeous young birds! Both look no more than 25! One seemed of Asian origin wearing a tutu and another of African origin very tall!
Stop on the side street and what you know both birds fly in the car! 120 for both! I said. 100 is all I have! Bang, deal is set! Look for a place to find a birdcage to feed the birds! Stopped at a Red Light when what you know, my uncle LEO pulls next to me. He takes a look in my car and after the light turns green pulls behind me and starts flashing me with his flashlight! No to be rude to my uncle, I decide to pull over. He starts questioning and when he flashes my eyes decides that I must either be high or drunk and claims to pull me over because I was swerving! SURE UNCLE! Gives me a field sobriety test and based on his "expertise" determines I must by high! Decides to let the birds go which I think is very weird! How else can he can claim other things on my! Well, takes me to the main house on 77th and continues to give me more test! Again based on his "expertise", since when my uncle is a Dr, charges me with DUI under drugs specifically meth. Which is a blessing a disguise since I don't do drugs and I did not drink that day! Also, makes it easier to explain it to family and the other person of the household! I asked to take a urine test! After two nights in the 77th street house they take to the momma's house to see a judge! Meet with my representative and she tells me that my urine test came out clean and the charges are being dismissed! Anyway I had already worked out a bail and since I'm out of state I have to pay the full amount!
While inside I hear all this crazy stories about people being brought in for the minor things even just talking to the birds with no deal being discussed! Keep in mind CA is facing a budget shortfall and the money needs to be made somehow! Be safe!
PS: MAN, still thinking of what could have been feeding those two birds! What great time that would have been!
