All we have in Alabama, where I'm at now, is squirrels and snakes, and I have to say, I saw a rattlesnake on a shortcut from the library once and I jumped away *real* fast. Hate the little, fast, venomous buggers.
Can we maybe vote on the whole murdering people issue?

The best part of Pug going to Sara is that she NEEDS another cat.

I saw a fox trotting down the sidewalk a few blocks from where I live. I just thought it was funny that he was using the sidewalk.
On Wednesday another car backed into mine in the parking lot. I have a dent above my rear wheel well. I did get her insurance information but I'm not really sure what to do. It isn't a big thing but it wasn't my fault.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I've seen a few foxes randomly, in neighborhoods. They have a snappy little gait.
Yay for a good day on multiple job fronts!

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
That piece is great, and has reminded me that I need to borrow his memoir from Emmett.
(Sorry, Jess, I know he has been an indefensibly pure-d Dick at times, but when he's being sober and seriously thoughtful his brain just kind of bowls me over.)

she NEEDS another cat.
NO I DO NOT.
I'm already running a kitty hospice for the most anti-cat cat ever.
I like Pug. He's a sweetie. I want him to get a good new home. I think he'd hate my indoors only cat-rule and my cat-friendly cats and I DON'T NEED ANOTHER CAT NOW.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Technically, the largest feral animals I've seen in a residential area was the herd of bison in San Francisco. Visited them with Hec.
We really should have some sports team named the San Francisco Bison.
I've seen deer plenty of times. No whales. Dolphins a few times. Sea turtles. Sharks, alligators. (Florida childhood.)
The only time that was really startling though was coming across a wild pig in the redwoods of Northern California. We surprised each other on the path.

I frequently startle bunnies when I'm out walking. It's like they all think I want to make Hasenpfeffer or something.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Being startled is a big component of the bunny lifestyle.
