"Virtual Rage: Percy the peacock, of Notts,
England, was so thoroughly enamored of his
true love, Prunella peahen, that he saw
enemy males lusting for her favors in the
polished flanks of nearby parked cars.
After his jealous attacks had cost the
birds' owners a number of damage payments,
the passionate pair was relocated to a
less reflective domain in a peacock
sanctuary."
Didn't know the Navy School was a
peacock sanctuary.... ;-)

I drove Sandi's S-Type over to the Navy school and parked it in the Navy
Exchange parking lot. When I came back to the car I noticed that the
drivers side rear door was all scratched up and had some kind of Red
crap all over it. About that time I heard a big thump and looked at the
BMW parked next to me. There was a Peacock attacking his reflection in
the passenger side door. This was a new Z3 and the paint on the door was
totally destroyed. Much worse than the Jag. I kicked the s**t out of the
bird and it came after me (at least I distracted it from the cars).
After a couple more kicks it wandered off and the last time I saw it, it
was eyeing a Buick. One thing in common was that all the cars were
Black.
