  1. “angles of death”

    But we must remember what Ed Abbey taught us: vultures keep the desert (and mountains) clean.

    On observing a group of vultures on a recent road kill I am often struck by the profound similarity to a large table of humans devouring a meal of dead animal. Only real difference is preference in length of aging and rareness.


    1. Yes, absolutely. I am a big fan of scavengers and carnivores generally.
