Happy Diwali!

Eat up!

One of my co-workers thinks/claims he saw a wolf chasing deer in Hershey recently. I was tempted to ask if he also saw a bigfoot riding a unicorn, but I bit my tongue.

Probably a coyote.

"Probably a coyote." - stuward

It's possible. We do have coyotes here in PA (although I have yet to see one). However, from his description it sounded like a big dog (Assuming he didn't just make up the whole story). Also, coyotes don't usually bother full-grown deer.

I've seen coyotes here in my neighbourhood that look like wolves. We don't let our dogs out at night because they are quite brazen. From what I saw on the internet, coyotes in PA go to about 50 lbs. One that size might go after a small deer. They seem to act differently than either dogs or wolves. They're really quite unpredictable. A pack killed a teen age girl here in Nova Scotia not long ago.

None of this is a lie. I've been accused of being a sasquatch when I'm without a shirt. My wife's school's mascot is.... the Unicorns. Yup - she's a Unicorn.

It made me really laugh. But then again, I am a juvenile at times.

Even at that size a lone coyote would have a hard time bringing down a whitetail. Mostly they eat small stuff like rodents and rabbits (which are abundant in the area).

Also, the guy I work with said the "wolf" he saw was "big and fat", which makes me think it was a dog.

I keep forgetting who has that sig block about the hokey pokey, but this is for you:

That would be me Ken, although we call it the Hokey Cokey this side of the Atlantic.

I think I can't remember its you cuz when i see your handle I think of Sir Terry Pratchett's Nina Ogg singing, "A wizard's staff has a knob on the end!"

Vacation's over. I actually have to do some work today.

sigh

I saw a merlin (small falcon) at work today. ... Only the 5th time I've ever seen one. Then, while the merlin was perched on the fence, a kestrel showed up. I watched the kestrel hover and dive (probably goind after a mouse or vole). With that, the merlin flew directly to the spot were the kestrel dove. A moment later both birds reappeared with the merlin in the lead and the slightly smaller kestrel right on it's tail. I couldn't tell if the kestrel was successful in making a kill or if the merlin managed to steal it (neither bird appeared to be carrying anything). Still it was a very cool sighting.

Did your interest in strength training at all stem from your infatuation with nature and photography?

no offense.
you could probably toss me 10 yards

That could be a new event for strongman meets--Oscar tossing. Hmm. You may have something, there.
