Same here in mid-west on hearing coyotes.
They run in packs and chase down whitetails.
I hear them quite often while hunting and have found sites of their kills. Not pretty but part of nature.

I do actually have a fear. Snakes! Glad you have the rattlers THERE.

I'm here almost eight months and have only encountered one rattler. It was a young one who was trying to stay warm under the lights of our clubhouse. I'm more worried about my dog who likes to poke his nose into places he shouldn't.

I have already killed three snakes this year at my place. Each about 5-7 ft. long. Got one with a 410 judge revolver, one with a 3 iron, and the other with a gardening hoe. Actually just remembered another I got with the mover when I was mowing my fields. Usually I throw them out along the edge of my wooded areas and by morning either the foxes or buzzards erase all trace of them.

We have foxes, coons, squirrels, possums, rabbits. and a few deer and coyotes that come and go. Whenever I see a coyote I shoot to kill or at least let them know I mean business so they will go away.

We also have a diverse variety of birds coming and going. Redbirds, bluebirds, hummingbirds, sparrows, hawks, buzzards, doves, and several other types I am not sure about.

Our personal favorite birds are about 10 to at times as many as 22 black belly whistling ducks that have made our place their home. We have a just over one acre sized pond they like to swim in. They also like to eat the extra bird seed off the ground underneath the bird and squirrel feeders we have out.

We have lots of rabbits, both cottontails and jackrabbits. Earlier this spring there was a virus killing the rabbits but that seems to have passed.

Tesla. Heck yes.
Anybody remember six months ago when neo-cons were calling Tesla a ponzi scheme and accusing Mr Musk of fraud? How'd that work out for you?

Hopefully just profit taking. A little too much upside too fast. Time will tell. I wouldnt be surprised if we have another market surge 3 weeks before the election.

Does anyone here really think the market is going to effect peoples votes? That someone is going to change their mind because the market goes up or down 10-15% between now and the election?

Lets try to picture it.
Person A- I love what trump has done with immigration, love that he thinks protestors are domestic terrorists, love that he isn't afraid to bring criminals into the administration but the market went down so I'm going to vote for Biden.
Person B- I hate trump and everything he stands for, but the market is up so I'll forget about everything and give him four more years.

200,000 dead by election day, 30,000,0000 unemployed, but you think the election will be decided by a five percent swing in the stock market?
