I caught the bus this afternoon to go out to the mall area and return something at an art store. I get off at the grocery store, walk behind the plaza, hop over a guard rail into a movie theater parking lot, and walk through the parking lot. As I'm walking I notice a goose about twelve feet in front of me. It's sitting under a pink blossomed tree. So I pull out my digital camera and snap a quick shot. As I'm sliding the camera back into my bag, the goose stands up. I start walking around the area where it is, assuming it thinks I'm a threat since it stood up. Suddenly the goose comes charging at me, snapping its beak, ready to bite me. I ran away while jerking my bag in it's direction and stopping suddenly and jerking towards it to fake it out. After 20 feet of this, the goose finally backed down. I'm quite sure there was a car or two that passed by slowly watching and wondering...

Finally I got off at my stop, and as I'm walking towards the dorm, an SUV drives by and then hops the curb across the way to get into one of our school's gated lots.
