Yes...unfortunately!Originally Posted by crazycanuck
He technically "lives" at a small farm about 1/4 mile from here. But evidently he prefers my street. He roosts on my next door neighbor's roof, digs up my yard, poops an awful lot, and screeches. His "owners" bought him along with his mate...and supposedly they mate for life. But I guess he doesn't like her because he won't stay with her. I'm not sure what's going to happen to him when it snows.

urgh
Icky & rather annoying are the terms I use for cycling in Western Australia during our warmer months. Since we're surrounded by sand..we have oh so many flies, cockroaches, etc etc... My ride along a particular train line is littered with dead cockies..blech
It's not really summer yet (officially anyways) & my legs are already chewed up...
Ya can't cycle slowly either..all the flies hang around! One hand on the bar & the other swatting
Oh yay, i can't wait until the Marchflies appear...Last edited by crazycanuck; 10-16-2008 at 08:32 PM.

Today we saw these guys at Logboom Park, the place at the north end of Lake Washington where we begin and end our rides:

roo
I was out doing a practice lap for the 12hr event at the end of the month & encountered a roo. Right in front of me as I zoomed up a little hill and around the corner.
It was huge! The roo bounced away to the left into the bush, we both stared at eachother for a few minutes and went on our merry way.
I sure hope I don't encounter any when i'm doing a night lap on the 12hr..It's freaky enough hearing them rustle in the bushes!!!

Oooo.
I had a fox pass in front of me and a car today on Sligo Creek Parkway.
That was a first for me.

Oh, neat, I've only seen foxes twice (and never from a bike).
We saw two coyotes on our ride Sunday. One of them was really aggressive, too, snapping at a person walking a dog.
