There is a wolf in me . . . fangs pointed for tearing gashes . . . a red tongue for raw meat . . . and the hot lapping of blood—I keep this wolf because the wilderness gave it to me and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fox in me . . . a silver-gray fox . . . I sniff and guess . . . I pick things out of the wind and air . . . I nose in the dark night and take sleepers and eat them and hide the feathers . . . I circle and loop and double-cross.

There is a hog in me . . . a snout and a belly . . . a machinery for eating and grunting . . . a machinery for sleeping satisfied in the sun—I got this too from the wilderness and the wilderness will not let it go.

There is a fish in me . . . I know I came from salt-blue water-gates . . . I scurried with shoals of herring . . . I blew waterspouts with porpoises . . . before land was . . . before the water went down . . . before Noah . . . before the first chapter of Genesis.

There is a baboon in me . . . clambering-clawed . . . dog-faced . . . yawping a galoot's hunger . . . hairy under the armpits . . . here are the hawk-eyed hankering men . . . here are the blonde and blue-eyed women . . . here they hide curled asleep waiting . . . ready to snarl and kill . . . ready to sing and give milk . . . waiting—I keep the baboon because the wilderness says so.

There is an eagle in me and a mockingbird . . . and the eagle flies among the Rocky Mountains of my dreams and fights among the Sierra crags of what I want . . . and the mockingbird warbles in the early forenoon before the dew is gone, warbles in the underbrush of my Chattanoogas of hope, gushes over the blue Ozark foothills of my wishes—And I got the eagle and the mockingbird from the wilderness.

O, I got a zoo, I got a menagerie, inside my ribs, under my bony head, under my red-valve heart—and I got something else: it is a man-child heart, a woman-child heart: it is a father and mother and lover: it came from God-Knows-Where: it is going to God-Knows-Where—For I am the keeper of the zoo: I say yes and no: I sing and kill and work: I am a pal of the world: I came from the wilderness.

Found a place to get the oil changed for the Vette, so that's a load off. I hope they know what they're doing. None of these people were born when this car was made, and they were marveling at how accessible everything was.

Just had a squirrels nest in the engine of one of our cars. Chewed through four wires during the cold spell and they have to rewire a whole section of the engine. Thanks a lot Biden!

Apparently a mouse was living on top of the engine of mine for awhile, but thankfully he didn't chew on any wires.

We had a rat in our car a while back. So, not so different after all, are we, fellas?

Was a public holiday yesterday, so the wife and I decided to take today off too to get in a 4 day weekend. Kids are at school, so we went off played some tennis, came home - fooled around a bit. Now we're heading into town to lunch and junk. Been a good day!

Junk and stuff involved wandering around stores without the worry of kids trying to tutū with everything or rush us along

I don’t even have kids and I don’t get to do this
That was a good day. Well done.
