Much as I appreciate Nature and all She brings, these interludes that focus merely on the eaters and the eaten are a bit trying…

Still, I try to understand how challenging it must be to keep a daily strip alive- punchlines if it’s meant to be funny and gripping, riveting story lines if it’s a serial like Mark Trail…

Still, we do learn a thing or two along the way and I appreciate that opportunity when it presents itself.

So it appears that the Snowshoe Hare, way out of range and in its off-coloring, will live to forage another day and the Fisher Cat will have to move along in search of another meal that will quiet its growling belly.

But speaking of Nature and all She brings, there’s been a story in the local press about a charter school, the Gaia Democratic School that recently made the news for taking a field trip to an adult pleasure emporium…   the “Smitten Kitten…” a self-described “progressive sex toy store for everyone.”  Apparently ‘everyone’ includes 10 and 11 year old children capping a month-long sex education unit taught by the school’s director.  I guess this shows that not everyone is ready for “Nature and all She brings…”

I’d look confused too, if I was to find myself complete out of range and in my winter coat…

True that the Snowshoe Hare’s coat turns from white to brown in the summer, but it takes 10 weeks to do so, leaving it without protective coloring in the spring and fall…

And it appears that the tree climbing predator from last week is the Fisher Cat… with what appears to be a nasty disposition and a taste for human flesh…  and also seriously out of range…
