Last night, the bonehead neighbors up the street were launching bottle rockets in the general direction of a large hillside covered with dry grasses. Becky and I stood in the driveway, watching.
A familiar sound in the air: the barn owl, out for a night of hunting, was weaving frantically through the fusillade. It pushed hard against the wind. Finally making it to its nest in the palm tree, it screeched for another hour.
