longevity
raze
"
i
used
to
see
a
cardinal_couple
sometimes
through
the
kitchen
window
,
back
when
the
quiet
professor
lived
next
door
and
he
had
a
bird
feeder
out
there
,"
i
said
. "
it
never
struck
me
until
just_now
that
there's
a
chance
those
are
the
same
cardinals
i
see
every
day
.
if
it
really
is
them
,
that
would
mean
they've
been
around
for
ten
years
.
that's
some
pretty
incredible
longevity."
"
i
had
longevity
once
,"
my
dad
said
.
"
what
happened
?"
i
asked
.
"
it
got
caught
in
the
lint
trap
in
the
dryer."
