A Day For Making Sausage

Roscoe and I had a hell of a walk yesterday. 32 miles, all told and much of that was through the oak forest that covers what used to be Rancho Cordova. We saw many rabbits that Roscoe barked at, but declined to chase. He said that the bunnies on that side of the river were just too damned fast. We also saw about a zillion squirrels, many birds (including a couple of parrots, several firehawks and what I'm pretty sure was a fairy crow), a couple of foxes and a small herd of cattle. If we had walked south a couple more miles, we might have seen some elephants (who settled there after all the zoos and animal sanctuaries went away during The Change), but we mostly strolled along the river road.

When we finally got home Grace was watching a movie on the big screen and the house elves were cooking up dinner. Roscoe crashed in his room and I vegged out playing Nine Kingdoms (a strategy game I give a big thumbs up to) on the terminal in the den. Later, we ate dinner and then Grace and I watched some of the new 30 minute episodes of Spider-Man.

After that it was bedtime. Today, I'm off to help my dad and my gnome brothers make sausages. Mmmm...sausages.
