Hail, hail, ta da da da..

Beloved spouse has returned, and all is well! It was a lovely day, with walks, running, workouts, and out for a delectable dinner for the two of us. Beloved son went off very early to climb at Index, and then to a friend's party. We went to a place called El Camino - as in the strange Chevy truck-thing of old - which serves food of Latin America. Also delicious margaritas. We walked down there, which was chilly but easy, then back up the hill afterwards, which was freezing and hard. We returned via the spooky woods route, past the rose garden and the zoo, and down into the unlighted Woodland Park picnic area. The rabbits were rampant, being unthreatened nor harassed, showing up as dark meatloaf shaped lumps dotting the moonlit landscape. There is in motion a 'rabbit rescue" program going on, with our vets volunteering time to spay and neuter the critters, then relocate them to a shelter on the eastside which has space for them to run. My friend who works for the vets observed that she thought they needed a natural predator to keep down their numbers, say, a coyote. Ideally good, but too close to our neighborhoods, I think.
And no golderned shootin'!!
