My lengthy morning commute to San Jose is usually a fairly uneventful affair, with most of it along the very pretty drive on Interstate 280 through rolling tree-lined hills and past various reservoirs (reservoii?).
This morning, minutes short of reaching Silicon Valley, I found myself behind slightly slower traffic... a flock of about 10 pigeons were traveling in the right lane of the freeway, roughly at windshield height, and moving with traffic. I slowed down when I saw them in front of me, expecting they would move out of the way as I approached. Nope. They just kept on flappin' down the road. After a few monments I changed lanes and passed them on the left. When I looked into my rearview mirror, there they were, still flying down their lane.
I wonder if they shifted to the HOV lane a few miles ahead. If so, I suspect they didn't signal the lane change...
