-watching the wildlife feed off stored perishables…

This is how i saw my first coyote. And how I learned to limit the definition of “outdoor storage” to my garage.

Wife is burning off her last week of vacation. One chore (woman can’t just relax during vacation, she has to do ‘chores’) was to clean out one of the outbuildings.

During the last 15 years the pack-rats have managed to chew up virtually everything not made entirely of glass or steel. Wood, plastic, fabric…all gnawed to ribbons.

Except for a box of home-made Halloween costumes from our younger, party-hard, days. Naughty French maid costume, Killer Bees outfits, Land-Shark outfit…all pristine.

I took them to the county recycling station. Before I left this interesting-looking twenty-something was holding up the French maid costume to check the fit. I had no impression that she was going trick-or-treating, but I had the impression that some boyfriend was going to get a treat.
