Watching sparrows, pigeons, and crows fly around the center of Zagreb no matter the weather, I rejoice. By comparison, humans look pathetic. The weather slaves.

Addendum (March 31, 2019)

Seven weeks later, sparrows, pigeons, and crows are flying around the center of Zagreb as though nothing has changed. But humans are amazing to behold. Now that there is no doubt about the spring any longer, most of them are almost naked. Bare arms and legs are everywhere in sight. T-shirts and miniskirts are the rage, as are sunglasses that are in fashion this season among seasons. Perhaps the only difference is that humans look ridiculous rather than pathetic seven weeks later. The weather slaves through and through, they relish the sunshine with enthusiasm bordering on infatuation.
