But we do get lots of other critters visiting our backyard, which is always fun. The most destructive are the rabbits. They eat anything and everything. I don't really care.

Steve: You have to have Flash to watch those videos. I don't use it normally, as it is not secure, so I can't watch them in Firefox, so I fire up the Microsoft browser and they play just fine it that.<br /><br /> My father always cautioned against feeding wild animals. He seemed to think it would distract them from their normal strategies for getting food and turn them into persistent pests. I did, however, notice him leaving a row of alfalfa standing after we harvested the rest of it to "attract the deer".<br /><br /> The sun came out today here also, so I get to walk this afternoon. I grew up in Eureka, which is on the shore of Humboldt Bay, and it is persistently foggy there, I think even more than San Francisco. It was always depressing in the summer there, as you could drive five miles in any direction (except West) and be in 80F sunshine go-swim-in-the-river weather, and then on the drive home you round that last corner and there's the fog, sitting right there where you live. My mood improved a lot when I moved to Oakland for various reasons, and that was definitely one of them.<br /><br /> -Doug in Oakland dinthebeasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12941071534250216503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3405619091794912972.post-29622672847737504042016-12-12T16:46:29.471-04:002016-12-12T16:46:29.471-04:00Well done, Geo. :) Deer are considered destructive...Well done, Geo. :) Deer are considered destructive, too, but ... humans can be so much worse, without a good excuse a lot of the time.
