Ursine scare. Bovine unaware.

Earlier today:

We almost hit a bear on the highway. No lie. We both saw him run out of the woods and get right to the side of the road and at the very last second, he decides not to cross. Whew. That could have been ugly. I usually have an annual bear spotting in my yard (like this fellow that visited last May) but have never seen one on the road.


(sorry for the blurry pic. I was a tad bit excited)

I worry about hitting deer, but I never think of a bear running onto the highway.


Later today:

We drove past this:



Matt:   Do you know what it means when the cows are lying down in the middle of the day?

Me:   No.


Matt:   That it is going to rain.



Me:   Do you think the orange cow feels bad that she is the only cow that is not black?

Matt:   She is the only cow that does not know that she is not black.
 
Me:  Good point.

Oh, wow! I think I'd be a little nervous, too, trying to hold a camera and not upset a bear in my yard... but, how pretty... thanks for sharing...

Now, about that orange cow... she probably does know she's different, because animals will avoid her, if possible... you ever watch pigeons?... they go in pairs of the same coloring... it's really fascinating to watch...

I say stay away from all pigeons (same color or not) and the cow actually feels great because she knows that brown in the new black and she's the only one in the pasture to be wearing it this season!

matt's brilliant comment sums up so much of what is wrong with other humans... maybe they don't know they're the only one who sucks. or maybe they don't know they're the only one that is a freak. really puts a compassionate spin on things. thank him for me. :)

Love the conversation, but somehow I don't think the cow is having any existential angst over it. : )

Lex loci is Latin for "law of the place," I am Lori. This is my gigantic blog about life, law and whatever amuses or irritates me at the moment. I am a high country dweller and as you may come to see, the world is a little skewed when you are at the top. I live here with my husband, Matt. He claims to have searched the world over to find me, but I know for a fact, he rarely left Breckenridge. We share our space with a pound hound, a very out of place chihuahua and, sometimes, with our 20 year old son, Chase. I practice law, often in my pajamas.
