Perhaps they'll all be happy when our country is just one endless Shopping Mall, punctuated with high rise condo/office/hotel/retail clusters with storm water holding ponds teeming with three-eyed fish and not a single wild species left to eradicate. Nothing left to shoot at except targets or each other. Out here, I live in a relatively dense suburban area just southeast of Seattle. Fences, cul-de-sacs, SUVs abound, yet just last week my wife and I shared a "stare-down" from a juvenile coyote in mid-morning daylight. This time of year the local pack (3 or 4 that I know of) set up quite a chorus in one of the last remaining "green spaces", a ten-acre forest they use to jump from neighborhood to neighborhood en route to other small parcels of woodland. They don't know or care about Anna Nicole, Alberto Gonzales or Downloading Ring Tones. They just live in the moment from birth to death. I guess that's Un-American, huh?

The local coyotes have gotten a few of our chickens but once we restricted the chickens to the barn and riding arenas we've had no problems and I LOVE their moonlight sonatas.
