Observation #1:

Late April seems to be Fitzroy's season of dead birds. Everywhere I walk I come across yet another corpse of yet another bird. I'm puzzled about the reasons for this. Perhaps it's the change of season. The weather has suddenly turned colder and wetter, and so have a larger-than-normal number of birds.

Observation #2:

There are many houses in Fitzroy with posters in the window saying "This household opposes the war in Iraq." This I understand.

There are no houses in Fitzroy with posters saying "This household supports the war in Iraq." This I also understand.

But there are also no houses in Fitzroy with posters saying "This household is undecided about the war in Iraq and would like more time to think about it." This I do not understand.
