Wild America!!

I'm in Colorado and within 2 hours of landing I was sitting in a hot tub and nursing school was a distant memory.  While my stepdad took photos of my mom and I so we could send them to the Tall One and incite jealousy, we watched the local fox (yes, local- there is a family of them and they come out to visit between 6-7pm every day) come tearing from around the garage on the heels of what we're pretty sure was a cat.  They were gone pretty fast but it was like National Geographic or Wild America from the 70's.  All it needed was a Marty Stouffer voice-over.

Shortly thereafter, one of the neighbors came over looking for his dog.  Gulp.  Turns out the dog is blonde, the chasee was not so we felt better.  The neighbor reported that "Oh yeah, the fox won." He could hear yelping from the woods.

Ewww.  And yet, so wild.  Survival of the fittest (Herbert Spencer would be so proud).  Circle of Life.  Or worse, too slow!

I like Colorado.  But this state is in dire need of some humidity.
