of the Mississippi river is open to speculation and debate. But they are
here now and they are not particularly welcome.

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.
