Humans, who are part of nature, can be pretty brutal to each other,too. So, don't look too unkindly upon the pelican. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-75510297909592468322007-04-26T10:23:00.000-07:002007-04-26T10:23:00.000-07:00I like Pelicans.

This is sorta west central USA. <BR/><BR/>I was working at a remote pump station about 60 miles from the nearest town. I rented a GMC Suburban for the job so I woudn't have to drive 120 miles round trip each day. I was truely roughing it, sleeping in the back in a sleeping bag.<BR/><BR/>On the first day it was pitch black by the time I quit work. I tripped over a Jack Rabbit on the way to the truck. They are the ones that sit 2' (2/3 M) tall with 1/2 M ears on top. He went straight up in the air, into my arms and over my head. I had to sit down and wait for the adrenalin to go.<BR/><BR/>The next day, I was carrying in some equipment and boxes of parts. on the last trip in I glanced down and there was a Diomond Back Rattle Snake on one of the steps. It was a small one, only 3 or 4 feet long (they get to 10 Ft). I went in to get something to whack it with, but no joy. I watched out for that snake for the next week.<BR/><BR/>The third day, I was running tests in the small control building and caught movement out of the corner of my eye. By the time I looked, there was nothing there. So I was cruizng on with my job, when all ofa sudden I heard this SQUEEEEK and this dang rabbit ran all the way through the control building, in one door and out the other. I jumped up and ran to the door, to see this huge rabbit being pursued by either a fox or some other doggy shaped predator. Another few minutes of sit down time. <BR/><BR/>They also had these small hoppy rodents about the size of squirrels. They would steal anything not colored brown. they loved wire terminals, especially the red ones.<BR/><BR/>I had a couple more visits from the rabbits. They obviously had rarely or perhaps never seen humans. <BR/><BR/><BR/>I'll remember that trip for the rest of my life.Marchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12623619259294255298noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-22901948069343298202007-04-25T19:33:00.000-07:002007-04-25T19:33:00.000-07:00Well, stop envying and go get it, Marc...have a lo...Well, stop envying and go get it, Marc...have a look in FauxNEWS, (link is on my main page) Marc...it's Wino's and my blog...he posted a couple of great pics in there a couple of days ago, with promises of more to come.
