    When my parents lived in Santa Rosa their neigbors had a wallabee they had rescued (being neglected at a petting zoo I think). On visits we'd walk to the neighbors to see the wallabee. One day I took Mae and whadya know over the fence there was an inter species moment, the wallabee hopped over and the two touched noses through the fence.

    Friends!

    From then on whenever I visited all I needed to say is "want to see the kangaroo?" and Mae would lead us there, look through the fence and her friend would hop over.

    I have some photos but they are not very clear of this because of the growth on the fence.

    A few years ago I found out that this beautiful animal had been killed by a loose dog. I wrote the neighbors, sent them copies of the pictures and thanked them because their wallabee was one of Maes first friends and helped her. They sent back a very nice note.

    Trek - hah! I thought your new avatar title was "Peets, the redwoods, and bridge TROLLS." Remind me to take you to the Troll in Fremont while you're here. Unless you've seen it already...?

    No I don't think I've seen the troll, I looked in Norway and didn't see trolls underneath the bridges there.

    All the more reason to visit Peets

    And we have Trolls in CA too, like this one observed climbing in Joshua Tree National Park
