Wildlife

I know I have to adjust my way of thinking.

Living in England for 20 years has made me soft.

There is something pleasant about living in a country where the wildlife have manners.

Cats wonder out into the garden freely.

There are no fire breathing hawks, owls, coyotes, javelinas, snakes, tarantulas, scorpions, let alone mountain lions.

Just the odd, maladjusted and drunken teenager with dyed hair.

And they rarely bite.

If they do, you phone their mum.

My little brother met a large javelina whilst on a mountain run recently.

It didn't say or do much, but made little brother,
who is not little by the way,
stop for a while.

Still, it is exciting to see new things and have new experiences.
