@bagbalmAnd with good reason. In my state they are starting to get aggressive, chasing people on bicycles on park paths, jumping fences to snatch small pets, raiding garbage cans. They’ve found it easier to be around people and have no fear. But the people can’t do anything as it’s illegal to shoot firearms within city limits. Live trapping is no good as coyotes are too smart about them and leg holds are not allowed. The wildlife department offers suggestions but won’t do anything about it. So people have to come up with other ways of dealing with the situation. One of these days, some child will be injured and then they’ll do something.
Amundsen was at the South pole ( hence the penguins), and Adrian’s dad was on the Scott trip which was at the same time. Adrian went there recently to retrace his dad’t footsteps and wrote a book about it. Interesting read.

Yeah the suburbanites here are all upset if they see a coyote.

People won’t be moving to the Antarctic any time soon as currently it is colder there and the volume of sea ice is expanding.

Ha! Anyone else catch the street name – Amundsen Ave? Named after Roald Amundsen no doubt? Pretty sly Adrian.

How come Raeside doesn’t sell products like some of the others do? I would love to have a mug with the ghost dog panel.
