Saw the aftermath of a friend's goat's encounter with a pair of mountain lions. It was NOT pretty. I guess I'm not going hiking around at night at their house, LOL. #mountainlions
Colorado still has wilderness. A lot of it isn't old growth, but it is still wilderness.
If you live in a picturesque place, there's a chance of death.
Moose are more likely to kill you, but mountain lions will do the trick. Black bears are too small to pose much of a threat, but leave 'em all alone, please.
Well, the lions might not leave YOU alone.
Go jogging on a nice trail in the woods? Go mountain biking like you saw in the TV commercial?
Stupid mother fucker.
You're a snack. You'll trigger the predatory instinct to pursue a fleeing prey. You won't be able to react in time to puff yourself up and scream, throw things, and wave big sticks in the air that you need to be able to do to intimidate a mountain lion.
Thousand Oaks Acorn: Prizes, maps, workshops and training highlight Bicycle Month
"The Ventura County Transportation Commission and the nonprofit Bike Ventura County organization use prizes, maps and training to accomplish these goals.
The commission’s new guide, “Biking Ventura County: Routes & Tips for Beginners & Families,” makes it easy to find a place to ride. It highlights shared-use paths and separated bike lanes across the county and provides guidance on safety, e-bikes and tips for taking bicycles aboard public transit. "
"A Brew Ride takes place on the second Sunday of each month from 1 to 4:30 p.m., starting at 490 N. Ventura Ave. This social ride celebrates Ventura’s award-winning breweries, but safety is paramount.
“There’s no excessive drinking and riding,” Abele said. “Riders enjoy tastings and . . . chat with local brewers.”
The casual ride starts after lunch, and participants will have just enough time for one drink at each of two brewery visits. “Remember, on the road, cyclists are vehicles subject to all traffic laws, including those against drunk driving,” Abele said. "
Apparently a massive fish kill of some sort in Leadbetter Beach (Santa Barbara) via multiple sources -- John Palmientieri says grunion, but it could also be mackeral or anchovy IMHO. #fishkill#SantaBarbara

NOAA: A dangerous early season heat wave will cointue over South Texas, and intensify in South Florida, through Memorial Day. Record warm overnight temperatures in these areas will provide little to no relief to those without adequate or reliable cooling.
Heat impacts are likely to be highest in South Texas, where heat index readings approaching or exceeding 115 degrees are expected.
Hmm, I should know what this weed is, temporarily adding it to my #mysteryplant list. (Update: this is almost certainly Pseudognaphalium californicum -- California Rabbit-Tobacco) #plants
