Owls are dope. Protect them owls, brother.

I think about owls all the time. I love them. I bet I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve seen them in the wild. I really wish we had a resident owl.

I have had many cool experiences with a variety of species of owls. A couple years ago had a legendary experience with 3 pretty large ones who seemed to be totally confused by my headlamp and let me come right up to them. But I have a lot of wildlife experiences. Pretty sure I saw a wolf in the dark by the river about a week ago.

I’ve never seen a wolf in the wild. I live in a St. Paul suburb with a ranch behind my house; however, you can also see Costco and Top Golf from my house. We see turkeys and deer daily and see coyotes occasionally (hear them nightly). We have a resident pheasant and an active eagles nest is visible in the distance, A raccoon was on our deck last week and possums abound. Foxes are not uncommon. Someone even got a photo of a bobcat a couple springs ago, but I’ve never seen one. I have seen an owl a couple times, but none in the last year. Seeing a wolf would be incredible.

That’s the wildest surgery I’ve ever been a part of with X-ray. They cut that lady’s leg at the joint and laid her leg against her side with her foot at her head. Damnedest thing I ever saw.

That said, when Mema Wease had her replacement done, they had her up and walking down the hall an hour after her surgery. Recovery from it usually goes very well.
