On a lighter note...

Deer and elk and ...aurochs? and... beavers? Oh my! My friend KP sent me this link to a story about conservation schemes to replace presently unviable or uneconomical farmland with land populated by "rewilded" animals in England's green and pleasant lands. Many Canadians can attest (national symbol notwithstanding) that they may regret the beavers when the busy little guys start damming everything in sight. No plans are afoot to reintroduce wolves or bears, apparently, as these creatures are considered too frightening... too bad, I say, as one would think howling in the wilds of Wales or Scotland would add loads of atmosphere!

Wow, when did the Empress incident happen?

um - quite a few years ago, now, I think ... and to be perfectly accurate it was the parking garage, not the lobby(!) but still...

Oh dear, we park in there quite often. Will have to keep an eye open for predators!

Have to admit, would have been a bit disappointed with the doorman had he openly let a cougar wander in.. :)
