Do you ever see wild animals?

Often I see wild life when visiting my relatives… Best not publish that. Yes, as a child living in NYC, the only animals I would encounter were stray dogs, cats, and local gang members roaming the streets. There were always the occasional trips to the zoo, where a monkey once reached into my Wise potato chip bag and cooly ate the entire bag, thus leaving me wondering what had happened?

In my present disposition, I have the pleasure of coming home to black bears who roam the front lawn, and road on Sundays and Wednesdays evenings in search for food, and on occasion, have had encountered with garden snakes, rattlers, and a cotton mouth viper which happened to be smiling at me inches from my foot one evening.

Other than that, the norm around town are usually on two wheels, or aggressively moving vehicles. Those are considered endangered species. 🙂
