pen bee
i was sitting in the run up area at reid-hillview airport ready to take off when i became aware of a bee flying around in the cabin. it flew to the windshield and got stuck between that and the dash. it had to go. so i opened the window and grabbed a pen. my hand wouldn't fit in the narrow crack. and bees have stingers. so i tried to shoo him towards the window. instead the bee grabbed onto the end of the pen and hung on. and hung on. i looked at this small creature that was very happy exactly where it was. i have a bee on my pen. then i stuck him out the window into the prop wash. he hung on briefly before flying away. then i flew away too.
