Just had conversation with second elderly man with cane who was walking around in my driveway looking for the cockatiel, he told me tale of baby eagle he rescued from side of interstate, nursed back to health and released. Returns every year apparently. Told me he was part Native American and that when you look into the eyes of the eagle you get long life and happiness.

First elderly man is sitting in front of his apartment building, looking bereft.

Headache is getting progressively worse, kind of blinding at this point.
