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

    "My predominant feeling is one of gratitude. I have loved and been loved;I have been given much and I have given something in return...Above all, I have been a sentient being, a thinking animal, on this beautiful planet, and that in itself has been an enormous privilege and an adventure."

    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.
    Cool.

    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.

    How cool to see an Armadillo!
    That is one weird looking animal.
    When we were on our last driving holiday in the States I told my kids I would give 20 bucks to the first one that saw an Armadillo in Amarillo. LOL - I still have my 20.
    The most effective way to do it, is to do it.
