Kickass, the doorstop dog, joins the keeper and Phyllis in looking to Nature for information on yesterday’s national “migration” to the sidewalks and streets across the country and then back home to weekend chores, pleasures and malcontent.
In addition to the well-known migrations of caribou and monarchs and others, nature abounds with examples of really strange mass movements that elicit such reaction as “You’ve gotta be kidding!”
There is the Christmas Island great red crab march, the Scotland goats that migrant with the tides to feed on seaweed, the blind snakes moving about em-mass in Yucatan caves, apparently sexually motivated.
The list goes on to indicate that when it comes to large numbers of a single species moving together, Nature may or may not provide an obvious explanation. Such may be the case with what occurred yesterday on “No Kings 3” day.
As usual, the keeper steps up with the answer: “At regular intervals the majority of the US citizenry migrates to be on display showing that they are really pissed and demand that their basic decency be restored or they will somehow device a means of neutering their current leader.
