Hate to say this, however "Ostrich" knees are "Backwards" and as for their "Feet" - Well that's another story all together (BTW: They can really hurt Ya' if you don't watch out) . . . Just Sayin' . . .

Those are actually heels; what looks like feet are just the toes. The knee joint is at the top of the bulgy part of the visible leg, and the thigh is partially inside the body, hidden in the feathers. This is characteristic of the hind legs (only legs of birds) of almost all fast-running animals. Humans are the oddity, with long thighs and short feet (along with apelike and bear-like creatures - the so-called plantigrades); and humans are the only plantigrades that can really run for long distances.

Good morning!

Beautiful day here today....

 

[DancingHeretik]

I'm jealous. It's gonna be another 100 degree day here in San Antonio.

 

[DancingHeretik]

I'm sitting here on the side of the road waiting for a tow truck. My tire is shredded.

 

[DavidOck]

Bummer! But, apparently, you got off the road safely, so that's a good thing.

Oh no! Do you have a spare or really need to be towed home?

 

[DancingHeretik]

Funny. I hadn't even thought of the spare! But, it's hidden somewhere up under the van. I wouldn't even know how to get it out. I'm just going to be towed a few miles to the other side of the interstate to Discount Tires.

 

[DancingHeretik]

Safe, but hot. It's gonna be an hour or more for the tow truck to get here.

I assume you are buying from Discount Tire? Call them, they may be able to bring a tire out and put it on.

I miss Les Schwab. They came and changed a tire for free and I wasn't even a customer. Sadly, we don't have them down here. If you have one, call them. They will come put the spare on for either a small fee or free.

 

[DancingHeretik]

I'm at work now. They're supposed to call when the car is ready. Tow = free. Tire = free. Just had to pay for the new insurance for the new tire = $15.

Time to work!

I really like the service I've received at Discount Tire. I've had to take advantage of their service when on vacation and away from home.
