Yikes... George, good thing you have your observatory to watch meteors
safely from the top.
Over here, the only tiny nuisance at my site were the cows. Just as I left with
dawn appoaching on the 12/13, about a dozen or more cows decided to move along
the route we use to come in and out. When they saw my headlights coming, they
suddenly froze, startled and starred right back at me. I had to drive real slow
to eventually find my way around them. I also had to watch on what I drove on
too....!
Just curious, what was your closest call with one of these mountain kittens?
