Map of Southern Sonoma Mountain Lion Population

Wow, that is a LOT of lions. Not so surprising then that one wandered into the plaza by the mall in downtown Santa Rosa! Check out Audubon Canyon Ranch's website for more about conservation in Sonoma.

"Sonoma County couple ordered to pay nearly $600,000 for damage to protected property"

Article here. Very satisfying, since in the decision the judge directly called them liars. To quote Spinoza, "TOTALLAY NOICE AND SWAYT BRUH"

Swede Who Keeps Running Back and Forth Across America

Björn Suneson inspires us to ask the question: what's wrong with people. Kidding! As always I poke fun at people doing these mega running projects because I'm a little jealous. He just crossed the line from Ohio into Pennsylvania yesterday 5/10/2019 and is headed to NYC. This isn't even the first time he's done this! Check out his blog - he includes his musings on American culture, and I'm always fascinated to see how my home looks through other eyes.

As he leaves the Midwest and comes up the back side of the Allegheny Plateau, his exertions will increase, and he has noticed this:

Today’s run one of the toughest. The hills have become steeper, sometimes so steep that you can hardly push the stroller. The small roads have turned into dirt roads but are very beautiful. Will probably be even worse when I get to Pennsylvania tomorrow.

Yes Björn, everything gets worse when you get to Pennsylvania. ZING, HEY-O
