There were no tracks visible as the ground is drought-hard and unyielding. The feeders must be fetched in every night now. There are distant shots in the mountains as it is elk season and there are hunters everywhere. No mountain biking while the nimrods stalk the trails, even clothed head to toe in blaze orange. Two neighbors, Uphill Bob and Downhill Bob, stopped by this morning and Uphill described a bullet whistling past his head as he was out prospecting on a remote creek a few days ago.
Danger lurks everywhere.
The bicyclist broke his neck. Six writers will be on hand this weekend at the University of Wyoming's Art Museum, Boundary Country writers as part of the wonderful Landscape 2000 exhibit. Those writers are Dagoberto Gilb, Rhea Cote Robbins, Diana Abu-Jaber, Anne Landsman, Junot Diaz and Francisco Goldman. On Saturday night we'll all have a big party here. I planned to make a large rabbit pie and ordered the rabbit many weeks ago from the local butcher.
