Scott Andrew - lo-fi acoustic pop superhero!

I had a good time on our vacation. It was one of those trips where, when people ask you “how was your trip?” you simply say “great” and leave it at that, because it’s too exhausting to get into even the small details.

Some of the wildlife we saw on the trip:

• Coyotes (dead by the roadside, sadly)
• Hawks
• Elk
• Antelope
• Prairie dogs
• Moose
• Pikas
• Badgers
• Marmots
• Wolves (heard, not seen)
• Assorted deer of various design

…but no buffalo.

My favorite were the pikas, which are smallish rodents that scamper among the rocks at the higher altitudes. On our way through Wyoming we stopped to visit the Bighorn Medicene Wheel, and saw plenty of the critters on the 1.5 mile hike. A pika has a throaty squeal that sounds a bit rude, as if hurling ill-mannered derision in your direction as you pass.

A few weeks ago I had an interesting dinner with some fascinating Webfolk.
