They don't like you feeding animals that can be dangerous, like bears and
mountain lions. And they worry that you'll feed any animal something that he
likes but isn't good for him. And of course people leave plastic wrappers
around that still smell of food, which the animals sometimes eat. The most
effective moochers seem to be squirrels and chipmunks. And of course seagulls
- who usually don't mind posing for photographs.

We're led to believe that this may be one of those rare storms where the snow
falls mainly in ski country. So we're leeping our fingers crossed.


Hope that's right. Win. Win.
