Dhae's devilish distractions

There's another storm, today. Perfect weather for dragons, if I'm right. I keep watching the sky, but so far, I haven't seen any.

I checked a few dragon-pages, and read up on the forums where those claiming to have seen a dragon write about their experiences. Myths, fairy-tales and lies, most of it.

Oh, I'm not saying that because I've seen a dragon from afar twice now, that I'm any expert on dragons. Far from it. I'm scientifically oriented enough to know that what I can offer right now is little more than speculation. But it's obvious that not everyone who claims to, have actually seen a dragon.

And then there are those where... I just don't know what to think. The guy who's seen a dragon feed; swoop down on a herd of cattle, like an eagle swooping down to catch a fish. Grabbing a cow without slowing, and immediately winging it's way back into the sky. The girl who claims to have talked to a dragon. Either she's got a really good imagination and is capable  of creating something entirely non-human, or else... or else she's actually talked to a dragon.

I don't know what to believe, today. I don't know who to trust, where to turn.

All I know is that I'd love to see another dragon. So I'll go back to watching the sky, now.

I've been walking around in a kind of a daze today. At any chance, I looked up at the sky - but there were no dragons today. Maybe they were hidden by the cloud-cover... maybe they only fly when there's high winds.

Hmm... I wonder about the physics of getting a dragon off the ground, but the websites I've found contain nothing but speculations. I also wonder where they hide. Even here, where there's next to no wilderness left, they manage to conceal themselves so well that nobody's caught them.

And what do they eat, I wonder...

Anyway. One of my colleagues is planning a dragon-event. She showed me a piece of fabric she plans to pretend is dragon skin. I wonder if any of the children who's going to arrive at that event has seen a real-life dragon...
