I find it very amusing. Heather its good that you know and have a reason behind everything.You will make a great Lawyer!!
Yeah, a fisherman told me that the bird probably was probably recently in the water because when they are dry, the strand looks less like string and more like a feather that it actually is.
That solitary strand of hair makes him look cute!
