I was talking a “small” break in my run through Central Park and mini-truck vehicle drove by. It was official looking enough (only official cars are allowed in the Park on the weekends).
Except it had Geese Police emblazoned on its sides.
Whaaaat? I looked around for a camera crew or at least Adam Sandler or some reporter from the Daily Show. No one. This was apparently not a part of comedy skit or show.
In fact, this is for real. In 2012, “Central Park Conservancy and the New York City Department of Parks & Recreation piloted a one-month program using an environmentally-safe method to attempt to reduce the number of geese in Central Park. The first step of the process included herding- but never touching or attacking- the geese with highly-trained border collies.”
Apparently there was too much poop in the Park.
And it needed to stop.

And the program worked.
But I don’t think it is geese season; I guess it is fun to drive around as the GEESE POLICE.
