SU hasn't seen an armadillo? Very sad.

I am jealous of the guys who have seen wolves.

I see a bald eagle on my way to work quite frequently. He/she hangs out in a tree just above a bridge I cross going over the Sacramento river. I've also seen several bald eagles at Shasta Lake. Also at Shasta Lake I've seen a black bear swimming across while we were wakeboarding. We followed it all the way across and he chose to exit near a steep rocky cliff. He scrambled up the cliff like it was nothing, a very cool sight.

Bluegoose and I have seen coyotes cross just in front of us on our runs and I've seen several while I was out biking. I've seen Moose and Elk in a few spots around the country. I've seen large herds of antelope while crossing the Nevada desert. Like Waters, I've seen a bobcat on a biketrail. It was not afraid of me at all and just kind of sauntered away as I approached.

I've never seen a mountain lion even though there are tons of them out here. I suppose not seeing one is a good thing.

Must be the slowest dullest animal on earth. They are all over the roads around here. Either that or they are double dog daring each other to test their armor against automobiles.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
