I think I want the mountain lion to eat that rooster dog.

Had a cool bald eagle sighting over the weekend ...

It's been a heck of a winter for wildlife. We've come across coyotes and elk on hikes, and I'm 90 percent sure I saw a mountain lion a couple of weeks ago. We've never seen any of these animals out in the wild around here before this year.

I took the afternoon off yesterday to drive over to Park City for leaf porn. Damn it's been a good year for the aspens.

Sorry to spam y'all, but my wife just called. She can't get the cats to their vet appointment because the car is blocked in.

This is our eleventh year up there, and we've never seen a bull moose around until this week. Now he's been following a mama and her juvenile around, and making some terrible whining sound too. Dude really needs it bad apparently.

Just let the cat chase him off. That is a fantastic picture, I've never seen a moose up close.

Vet’s closed. Moose out front should have told you.

So did you jerk off that moose so the cats could get to the vet or what?

It was my wife, and I'm secure enough not to ask her.

If she asks you to do some light Frostbite Falls role play, go with it.

I don't know about that long ago, but I could have sworn that was posted previously.

Probably a few months ago ... which is six years in normal time.

I had the same exact thought. Maybe someone copied the idea, or it was from 10 months ago and feels like 5 years ago. Or it's a glitch in the Matrix and it's a Mandela Effect moment.

Woman goes to work, gets swallowed whole by 22-foot python

The search team killed the reptile and sliced open its stomach, where they discovered Jahrah’s remains completely intact.

“The victim’s body was not destroyed when we found her inside the snake, meaning that she had only been recently swallowed whole,” the police said, after they found the reptile near the village of Betara in Indonesia’s Jambi province, located on Sumatra island.

I feel like that is neither awesome nor hilarious.

From that same article...

In 2017, a 25-year-old villager on the island of Sulawesi was discovered inside a 23-foot-long python, suspected of killing him.

Real Sherlock Holmes deduction on display there...

So..here's the thing. Snakes don't like to eat dead things. They want their food moving and alive.

Well ackshullly... they only eat dead things. They kill you first, then eat you.

Wanna see video of them cutting the snake open? https://nypost.com/2022/10/25/missing-g ... er-python/

Hmmm. But that's things they've just killed. Don't think snakes make meals of road kill etc.
