speaking of bad omens...
I once attended a friend's outdoor wedding reception in a rural setting somewhere north of Oakville, Ontario, when (something I had never witnessed before nor since) a large group of vultures (about 30 I estimate as they wouldn't hold still enough to count!) began to circle - hold wake, overhead.
and I thought to myself that cannot be a good sign.
what would you make of it?
