Hey Bercian! ¿Estás en tu casa? ¿Hola? It’s Clara. Sólo vine a darle un regalo espléndido: un grande gallo llamado Frederico. Me siguió hasta aquí desde Nuevo México.
Mi abuela y yo estábamos de gira con una banda llamado América Turístico, pero fue despedido por tratar de iniciar una revuelta en Cleveland. Además, somos demasiado perezosos para mover equipo pesado.
Este país es una mierda.
¡Oh no, Frederico ha volado! Ahora que lo pienso, dónde está mi abuela? No estés triste, Bercian. Un pollo guapo y noble como Frederico es amado de de su rebaño. Debería haber sabido iba a regresar a ellos.
Te voy a enviar otro espléndido regalo – un pájaro carpintero gigante desde el Río Grande! De acuerdo a mi abuela, ellos aman para nadar!

I surprise the good artist, writer, and blogger Bercian Langan with the splendid gift of a large, handsome rooster named Frederico, who has followed me all the way from New Mexico. I pass on the news that my grandmother and I have just been kicked off the Rust Belt Tour of the Country/Hip-Hop band, American Tourist. We had proven ourselves useless as roadies because of our strong opposition to moving heavy objects. Also, someone had ratted Grandma out for attempting to incite the Cleveland audience to riot.
Whatever.
“This country is turning to shit,” I tell Bercian.
It suddenly becomes clear that Frederico the Rooster has flown away. Come to think of it, where’s Grandma?
“Don’t be sad,” I tell Bercian, “A chicken as handsome and noble as Frederico is beloved by his flock. I should have known he would return to them.”
Before I leave, I promise Bercian another splendid gift.
“I’ll send you a Giant Woodpecker from the banks of the Rio Grande,” I say grandly.
Maybe I shouldn’t have added that Giant Rio Grande Woodpeckers can swim. At least, that’s what my grandmother told me…

That is funny. It was a great way to close a night of storms. 🙂

Thanks, Xena! I hoped it was funny but I never know. I wish New Mexico could take the surplus rain where it is flooding.e Those stationary storms that park themselves in one place and won’t budge. If 0nly we knew how to push the wind…wait, that sounds like something we’d really mess up.
