This evening, while sitting outside, a roadrunner jumped into the yard and made his way around to the pool steps to get a drink. Don't know why it wanted salt water and not the fresh water outside fence (we have 2 large water troughs outside fence for critters).
Then we watched it run back and forth along the fence trying to figure how to get out again. We have a fine mesh fence so we can see landscape and wildlife but keeps most creatures out and the poor thing could see out but couldn't figure how to get out. Weird.
While it's running back and forth we had 4 bucks come up to get a drink (strangely, they were in 2 groups of 2). Too funny watching them trying to figure out what roadrunner was doing while they walked up to troughs because they're pretty skittish. After deer left we opened gate and herded the crazy roadrunner out.
Oh, and a large bobcat was here the other day. That's why we don't let or pets out into yard without an escort. Between bobcat, coyotes, horned owls, golden eagles and hawks, we wouldn't keep them very long.

I mention it in the very first post, and although it's unwritten, I was given an assurance by board mods that if I mentioned it, they would "have my back."
Well...mods thanking the political post surely isn't "having my back." It's quite the contrary.
So, no rules, whatever, and if Pete wants to come in and make a sarcastic comment in return, it's all good, no worries.
Not your fault CSM... carry on...

I cannot find the 'offensive' post. Has it already been deleted?
