Sharing the Wealth

A couple of reminders that we weren't here first.

First, in the local news, a 7-year old boy was walking along the trail with his family just off Flagstaff Road yesterday and was attacked by a mountain lion. From information released so far, the boy's injuries were not critical. The mountian lion, however, was tracked down and killed today.


Second, also yesterday, while running on a trail near Boulder Valley Ranch and Boulder Reservoir, I nearly stepped on a rattlesnake, which indicated its displeasure loudly, quickly getting my attention. We were both unharmed.

Simple lesson. We cherish the natural world. We should not be surprised by its extremes.
