Beware of coons the size of coyotes

Some long lost friends found me on Facebook to say Hi. These friends weren't just acquaintances, they were all 3 close to me. I think of them, wondering how they are and what they're up to.
Its so good to hear from you. This entry is for you, Marcella, JK, and Todd. I'm touched you want to know about me. So here it is: I live in South Lake Tahoe. Its fresh and piney. Coyotes call to one another at night. They, bears and raccoons the size of coyotes ravage our garbage if we put it out before pick up. We're at elevation (7000 ft in town, 9800 at Kirkwood) where the air is clear and thin. When we go to the Bay, we get all this extra pizazz from the extra oxygen. SF is 3-4 hrs drive east, Santa Cruz, 4. We're on the Nevada boarder so casino gambling supposedly brings dollars to town, but to me it seems the casinos draw the tourists away from our California businesses and attract bad elements that suck off of us rather than contribute.
