BLOW YOUR WHISTLE

It seems if you want to ward off cougars, you're supposed to wear a whistle on a string around your neck. Or a fancy Boy Scout lanyard will do. It probably doesn't matter. But, it is said about town you need to walk and whistle for it to work. Walk. Tweet. Walk. Tweet. You get the idea.

The fish and game people are chuckling.

If the Fand G people have invaded our woods looking for big cat tracks, I haven't seen them, but then I miss out on a lot. Maybe I'll hear the helicopters and get picked up with their heat-seeking instruments as I'm roaming around the yard in the middle of the night trying to keep an eye on Mars. I wear shoes. Maybe I'll tweet my whistle too. That ought to make a picture worth 1000 words.

It's the heat!
