Yesterday, I saw a backhoe doing what it does and thought it would be cool if it turned into a dinosaur. It had the same build and menacing presence as a dinosaur, as well as a dinosaur’s hydraulic system (all of my dinosaur learning was done at museums with moving displays).

Originally, I wanted it to be a brachiosaur. They seem nice, if a little prone to crushing things. And if Jurassic Park is any indication, they snot a lot. I get enough of that when my son is sick. Besides, I think the poop scooping ordinances would have me hating life before too long.

In the end, I decided a falcon-sized pterosaur would be the right dinosaur for me. It’s compact, faithful, and will help take care of that adorable bunny problem around my apartment building.
