We have those big black crow monsters that are bigger than our kitties, bigger than me. Tesh and Myers come running with terror in their little cat eyes when those ugly crows appear and swoop at them. We also have hummingbirds. Of course ours hum only Puccini.

Raccoons are so cute. We have raccoons around here, just not in our yard. Once upon a time, there was even a big, nasty possum, but I haven't seen it for a while, either. We don't even have crows in our yard. Speaking of raccoons, I know something mean to do to a raccoon - - feed it sugar cubes. They wash everything before they eat it, and the sugar cubes keep dissolving, and they look so perplexed, but they can't help themselves, it's instinctive. Metaphoric for something, probably you could generalize something like being attracted to the wrong women (not you, of course!) or the wrong stocks or something. It wouldn't seem so mean if the raccoon has trashed your place.

Speaking of wildlife (is that Southlake too?) I saw a fresh roadkill coyote today. Big male, handsome in a cadaverish sorta way. I remember just a couple years ago when all the Milwaukee 'burbs were vehemently denying that there were "coyotes" in the bottomlands. Then a suburban pochief went out one fine morning to find a couple of the nonexistent critters finishing their pochief's puppy breakfast. I like 'em. They keep the rodentia and other pests way low and make the crows keep their heads down.
