Another day, another rabbit
Jun. 30th, 2006 01:12 pmTwo rabbits, actually. Funny that we see more wildlife here in the Major Metropolitan Area than we do in our backyard of the Great North Woods. Although, no moose yet.
Given that we see both rabbits and deer munching on the manicured local foliage on a regular basis, it's probably a good thing we don't actually live here. If I was trying to defend a yard against this onslaught, I might be tempted to deploy ol' Fred Bear's hunting bow and a few broadhead arrows to replenish the freezer. A little night-hunting could work wonders...
Off on a tangent, one of the folks on my friends list expressed surprise that Maine is declaring cottontail rabbits an endangered species. This is a peculiarity of range maps -- Maine lies on the northern edge of the cottontail range, and the New England sub-species _is_ quite rare. I guess they freeze their little bunny-butts off. Most of our "rabbits" are actually hares, the varying or snowshoe hare more commonly associated with Canada and other tundra states.
Still haven't decided on The Next Thing for my so-called writing career. That bit with the demon across the dining room table is just a scene, no plot or even setting attached yet. I'm not going to touch it until it at least presents a cast.
