I saw the first coyote ever seen in the Everglades. I wasn't the first to see it, nor did it remain there long (just another northern tourist, I suppose), but I did see it as it was headed along the road on the way to the exit. I didn't realize it was such an unusual sighting until days or weeks later.
We have coyotes around my parts in Southern California. I have seen them roaming around at work late at night. Even saw one on camera "playing" with a bunny rabbit.
You had best keep those coyotes away from your parts.
The best way to deal with coyotes is to paint a cave enterance on a rock.
Anvils are also good
Cliffs are also convenient, but you have to live in the right areas to have one. The southwest seems like a good location, and based on the Star Trek movie, there is apparently a very deep, cliff-sided, gorge somewhere in Iowa with a bunch of roads that lead up to it.
That was supposed to be a quarry.Quote:

There are quite a few stone quarries in Iowa. Not sure if any are that deep - yet. Search Google Earth for "Wendling Quarries."Quote:

I see that it does look a bit like a quarry...somewhere. I took the walls to be columnar basalt, which forms the walls of places like the Snake River gorge out here. Having looked at that clip, eventually, it looks more like limestone, which would make more sense out there (I don't know the geology under Iowa, but there's lots of limestone under Indiana, western Ohio, and down into Kentucky, so there may well be limestone under Iowa). I wouldn't expect the water table to be so low, though the film is the future, so perhaps they've pumped the aquifers down to nothing.
The bike is cooler than the car, though. I hadn't remembered that.
Well, I am off of work for the next two weeks.
Right now, we're visiting my wife's grandparents in Thibodaux, LA.
But the rain is pretty bad.
Why is the rain bad? Did it steal your wallet, or is it just pitching a fit?
Wrap That Wrain on the nose! Bad Wrain!
Merry Christmas Eve!
Merry Christmas. If you are on the east coast!
I'm still recovering from Festivus.
Humbug!
A fitting start to a new page.
I am bloated with the organs of David Cameron.
I am bloated with only one organ, but it is my own stomach.
Well he's certainly a turkey.Quote:

Now, for a second I wondered where you were going with that. The answer turned out to be quite a relief.Quote:

Slow reader? You paused when you reached the comma, with your finger hovering nervously over the ban button, waiting for the next phrase to parse in your brain?
If you want relief that would be another organ.Quote:

Was it something I said?
Its your breath.
Have you seen this SNL skit. Raccoon Girls. Kinda explains the breath.

Where did you go.
I visited my wife's grandparent's in Thibodaux, LA. and redid my man-cave.
You know the man-cave laws don't you? If you talk about your renovated man-cave online, you have to post pictures.
Lol, when I go home for lunch I'll take some pictures and post them here.
We had a border collie who stayed in there so it smelled terribly of piss, we had to repaint the walls, redo the floors/base boards, etc.
This past weekend I bought a new workbench/toolbox and reorganized part of my garage. I ran some new conduit and electrical work for new lighting and outlets. I am pretty proud of my work. I just have to finish cleaning the rest of the garage since it has a bunch of old junk that needs to be donated.
We both got revamped caves. Except my garage is too cold at night to work in.
It's been cold here, we've been in the lower 40's for the past two nights.
I don't like doing electrical work. In fact, for my new fans I installed everything, except for the wiring. I got my dad to do that.
Uhh... You're supposed to let the dog outside once in a while.Quote:

The bad part about my house is that it was build in the 50's or 60s and there is no ground wiring throughout parts of the house which is unsafe. So I have to take certain precautions to keep myself safe. Having to add GFCI plugs and things like that.
I actually enjoy doing any type of electrical or wire runs in general. I have pulled a lot of CAT5 throughout my house too.
He was an outside dog, but we kept him in there from 10pm til 7am(aka - Zzzz...)Quote:

We had that saying many years before the tree huggers claimed it as their own.
As if western OR needs any help staying green.
That's a picture of my man-cave.
We painted one wall green and the rest an egg shell color.
We also laid down tile and change the ceiling fans.
Oh and new base boards too.
Looks like it will be manly. Don't let her slip any doilies or frilly curtains in on you. :)
That's due to my widdling on all the greenery. ;)Quote:

Or pinching loaves in the flower beds?
Doesn't look like a man cave. too bright.Quote:
