Out on my patio at 4:30 a.m. having coffee, waiting for the sunrise. Marshall the cat is out doing his morning constitutionals, and suddenly there's a giant crash against my fence. I went out the gate, expecting a drunk bicyclist...and there stood a coyote, sort of staggering around, shaking his head. I yelled at him and he bolts down the street towards the dunes.
Marshall comes over to me ( back inside the fence now) covered with twigs and sticky plumbago flowers.
Guessing coyote was hot on his tail and crashed, like Wile E. into the cedar louvered fence which Marshall must've dove through like Fosbury.

I gotta get security cams so I don't miss these cartoons. :rolleyes:

In the course of my life time I have seen countless sunrises pursuant to work, hunting, fishing, bar hopping, all night motorcycle rides, and I don't know what all. Some of them have been in exotic, tropical or semi tropical places and rendered me speechless and breathless. I loved them all.

But last month I hit 75 and I no longer engage in any of the above mentioned activities. I don't expect I'll ever see another sunrise and that'll suit me just fine. In the unlikely event that I am ever actually awake at that time (which I struggle to avoid) I dang sure won't be lookin' out the window.

Y'all enjoy your sunrises. I hope my snoring don't bother you none. :)
 
We are on a five acre lot, but only mow a very small part of it. Happened to look up while mowing two days ago and a coyote was trotting across our yard. He glanced at me but didn't seem concerned by me.
Guess he was not aware I killed about a dozen of his relatives last winter.
 
I used to see a roadrunner running the roads around here but I guess a yote or cat got him because he isn't around making his meeebeeep anymore.
The house I grew up in had a really big picture window and more than a few birds didn't make it through the reflection.
 
If you are going to continue to let Marshall out for his constitutional you better have something to defend him with. Coyotes are smart and relentless and old Marshall will end up as breakfast unless you keep a close eye on him. Hopefully, that won't happen.

Marshall is now confined to quarters till daylight, but I'm still sitting on the patio at sunrise.(I don't worry about snipers anymore). But the .45 is always with me. I just didn't feel like waking the neighbors....:cool:

Maybe I should get a suppressor.
