I always thought coprolite was important, not too sure about anyone who did not.

Wolves vs. Deer

All the more reason to be in favor of wolves, because deer are all fun and games until you hit one with a car.

Interesting.

Leonids

 I woke up at 3am to go to the bathroom. So I figured I should go out to view the Leonid meteor shower.

In an hour and a half, I saw 3 good ones, and several faint ones.

Far short of the predicted one per four minutes.

And none of the "fireballs" that I was hoping for.

The dominant experience was the intense stench of skunk that only lasted a few minutes.  My guess is that it was not a skunk, but instead one of the local foxes patrolling the perimeter.

Whitetail Buck

 

Just a couple of blocks from downtown Silver Spring, MD. Stepped out in front of me, and I was one second too late with the camera.
