I'd been in this house about a month when one showed up in my yard. By the time I got a camera he was gone. Next week it was a female atop my mailbox.
We still have a lot, but not like before. Also have about a dozen kinds of hawks around (my favorites are peregrines), a few kinds of owls, road runners, grackles crows, ravens, and others.
Used to have pronghorns until some AH developer got the government to move them about 20 miles north. Now we have tickey-tackey bungalows stacked one on another over a few dozen acres and more being built every day.

You nailed it. Is this something only some denominations use or is it something I just never noticed before?
By the way, thanks.

Used to have hundreds of mated pairs converge at Goldwater Lake five miles for our home. Every year there would be scores of hatchlings survive and eagles were in my yard almost every day for a few weeks.
Many less now because of "peoplization": roads, housing and other buildings, power lines, and a so many other reasons I can't count them any more.
I miss them a lot.

Rhino might just be afraid that itty-bitty critter will run up his nose and choke him to death.

What a windy explanation.

Ok, I’m pretty darn excited about finally publishing a book, although it’s an extremely niche subject.
Welcome to the clan. I'm very proud of my two novels even though I wrote dozens of instruction manuals and lesson books both before and after the novels.

You seem to leave comments on quite a few of the YouTube videos that I post.
Let me rephrase that: I don't initiate anything on You Tube, but I will respond to some items.

JDWIW, I bought two 7mm Remington Mag rifles at the same time from a PX in California, the Rem 700 BDL and a Weatherby Vanguard. I put identical scopes and mounts, slings and padded zipper sleeves for both.
I took them to Camp Pendleton to shoot. because our little range at Seal Beach just wasn't suitable.
Identical factory ammo for both.
The 700 was dead on accurate to three hundred yards (Back when I could shoot at something that far away and hit it.
The much vaunted and highly recommended Vanguard wouldn't hit a box car at much over fifty yards.
As I was cleaning up and getting ready to leave a Marine walked over and asked if he could handle the Vanguard (After all, kit was a Weatherby.) I ended up "reluctantly" selling it to him, whole kit and kaboodle, for $30.00 more than I had in it.

There's a LOT of good content on YouTube Forty. A lot of it is nonsense, but there is some funny stuff there as well as educational stuff. I've learned a lot about working on my vehicles there, there's a lot of political stuff that makes me think that the WHOLE country hasn't gone nuts. And there's a lot of hilarity there too. You want some really crazy stuff? Search for Sovereign Citizen traffic stops. These people are just plain NUTS. Gun stuff, knife stuff, take a look. You might be surprised.
Still not sold. I've gotten by without these computerized sources of aggravation for 84 years. I don't need them now.

Years ago I shot a short video of some simple activity on the farm. I flaged it unlisted so only people I sent the link could see it. After being up many years, I got a notice that this video's content is in violation of community standards. I had simply titled it "XXX". The video contained nothing lude or explicate. I renamed it and problem solved.
I had another video flagged as hate speech because I used the words "shooting Josey Wales". I revised it somehow to take the hateful words out.
Why do you bother?

I've never seen that show. Is it worth my time?

You don't have to be old to be a dirty old man. I've seen three years olds trying to look up skirts, peeking in doors and copping a feel.

Yes. Are you asking because you think it was wrong but we should have done it anyway? If it's wrong it's wrong, and it stays wrong even if it's easier and even if bean counters say it's better. People do wrong things all the time, and so do countries, and then we live with it and go from there. All I'm saying is I prefer to make decisions based on judging the means instead of just achieving the end at any cost.
Sometimes something needs doing even if it seems wrong. If it cures a problem, especially a problem that endangers others anywhere just do it. We have let too many of these international criminals get by (sort of like so very many of our homegrown criminals), without intervention or punishment.
I can live with doing something wrong if something much, much wronger is stopped.

That was well handled.
We have some great cops here. They are part of the community and try to treat people very understandingly.
I've met a few dozen of the locals and am friends with four or five.
Them and our local fire /EMT / ambulance folks....as good as any I've known in my travels.

He pulled a young lady over for erratical driving. She pulled over and stopped on a slight uphill spot, but her car kept rolling slowly backward. She kept stopping, shifting gears and rolling. He said she looked scared to death and was crying. Her car finally bumped very lightly into his cruiser and stopped. He walked up and said for her to shut the engine off. She did and he had her get out of the car.
Long story short, she was driving her boyfriend's car to the store while he was getting supper ready. She was just going to get desert and wasn't familiar with his car, a four speed manual transmission. She was being really careful, but wandering around very slowly trying to get the car stopped, but couldn't find find out how to put it in park. She was shifting gears alright and got it into neutral, but just wasn't familiar with a stick shift.
He got her calmed down and showed her what she was doing wrong, then followed her a couple of blocks home.
She never did get the desert.
He said he was fighting hysterical laughter, but really felt sorry for her because she was really doing her best.
