Erm. I guess we're staying inside today.

A few months ago, the neighbor's yellow lab jumped the fence into our yard, and Da Boy thought we had a cougar back there. I was all "We don't have cougars, don't worry about it."

Heh.

There's a mountain lion running around the neighborhood about three miles from my house. Seriously, I was just over in that area yesterday, at the library. Probably a young cat, but still could do damage to the dog or Da Boy. We've got the radio on, so we'll hear if they catch it. I hope they don't kill it.

ETA: They caught it and tranq'd it around 11am.

Rumors are that Hillary is talking about conceding the race. Nooooooo! I haven't been this entertained by politics in years. Hang in there, Hils! *cough* Not that I'm watching Operation Chaos with any sort of actual glee or anything.

There aren't supposed to be any mountain lions in New York State, but I saw one dead at the side of the road several years ago. It was definitely a mountain lion - it was a large, tawny cat with a long tail, and rounded, black-backed ears. (My biology degree and eye for details do come in handy sometimes).

So, even though they don't "officially" exist today in New York State, one certainly did live in the state until it had a lethal encounter with a vehicle. Perhaps it was just an escaped exotic pet, but there have been occasional reported sightings of mountain lions in New York.

Anyway, it's best to be safe when any large predators are around.

We have them here in Utah, but they don't come into town very often.

And they caught it and tranq'd it. Yay.

Good, that's probably the best solution. I hate to see animals killed just because they're doing what animals do. Especially cats - I'm partial to felines, being a leo and all.

Hey fellow dittohead!

It'll be too bad that the fun is over. ;-)

Yeah, I'm a bit bummed out. I was hoping she'd hold on until the Convention.

I think that's still possible.

Because what she did ("I'd accept being your vice president!") is a challenge, not a consession. On the one hand, if Osama doesn't accept, that makes him the divider. On the other, if Osama accepts, that means he's getting bossed around by the Clintons. It a no-win situation.

Besides, as my wife says, anyone standing between a Clinton and the presidency better have a food-taster, because that's not a safe place to be.

The Hubby just said "What do you want to bet that if Hillary is the VP, Barak will have an 'unfortunate accident' about a year after the election...?"
