I tried the edge with the tip of my thumb and took another look at it against the light. Meanwhile, he was taking off his cartridge-studded belt with the pistol holster suspended from it. He put it on a hook in the wardrobe and hung his cap above it. Then he turned full around toward me and, loosening his tie, remarked, “It’s hot as the devil. I want a shave.” With that he took his seat.’

‘It’s daughter’s first solo, and mom repeats her advice: Look out for the big, heavy ones — they move more slowly and are easy to spot. The leaner ones are usually faster-moving. But they’re often looking down or otherwise distracted and not alert to their surroundings. Dusk and dawn are good hours. Mind how you fly. Swoop down quickly, quietly. No sightseeing or dawdling. Remember, the fat ones are more filling, the skinnier ones crunchier. And any with those popular electronic devices will offer an extra tingle. Earthlings make such great snacks.’
