Judging by the state of the rear door and fender, it looks like they may have had some help.

Apparently the Honda was hit and another vehicle further down the street was also damaged during some late night debauchery.

A single post on twitter tanked the AI market a trillion dollars overnight basically. Fun fact, Common "AI" replies are literally Lies, you can get a job making replies for AI inquiries for 20-25 per hour. Being called many namesake as AI curated. That being said, a 500 billion investment by the government for AI research sounds worse than Doge coin, Lol😂

So that's it? That building is only the "Home of the World's Largest Pheasant"?

No other business or anything inside?

Does the Pheasant actually live there, I mean, does it go inside at night?

I shouldn't make fun. After all, I live in the town with the "World's Largest HOLLYWOOD Sign".

And earlier this morning I see a women with 4 dogs.

One dog was unleashed and was standing at the waters edge barking at the swans for having the audacity to float in a particularly smug fashion.

The other three dogs ( leashed ) were barking at the dog that was barking at the swans. Smug/Float.

The lady owner was effectively barking at the dog that was barking at the swans who was being barked at by all the other dogs.

The dog that was being effectively barked at by the owner by calling its name didn't give a shit. It just kept on barking and so she just barked louder.

It all just fed on itself and it made me laugh.

I was always warned as a child to keep away from swans as they could break a man's arm!

I suppose (most) dogs don't have arms though, so should be safe enough.

I don't want to sound unpleasant but there's something that's very funny about a dog's owner whose voice is becoming more hysterical the less the dog responds.

Swans are the best.

Now, just to clarify I'm not sure if the 3 leashed dogs were trying to amplify the owners request for the unleashed dog to heel or the pack wanted a piece of the action and felt the need to contribute to the verbal assault aimed at the aqua bound white winged angels.

I know that the owner was in full melt down mode which totally contrasted with the swans majestic indifference.
