Awk! Now just how close do you live to Parmer Ln and Mopac Expressway? 
Says Stefan worriedly. We're hoping to close on a house in that area in 
the next few days.

The last time I had a run-in with a peacock was when one settled in at 
my mother's house. It was really bothering her, and me after I'd been 
there for just a few hours. I tried to trap it, but over the rough 
terrain it was able to keep just out of reach. The next time I went out 
there I showed up with my period style crossbow, but he had finally 
decided to leave.

Despite attending Phlip's class on butchering a sheep, I think I would 
have done a poor job of skinning that peacock, anyway. But having a 
reuseable, tanned peacock hide and feathers was tempting...
