The higher the elevation, the colder it gets. (which is why Pullman is always colder than Spokane) Anybody here that is above 2800-3200' (Moscow-Pullman)?

Not me, but my son's in Ellensburg and it was 19F there this morning. It's only 1500 feet, but it gets riparian cold-air drainage out of the Cascades, which cools it down quite well. It's colder in Pullman down by the Palouse than it us up at the top of campus, too (the coldest place in town is that North-facing basalt exposure just before the bridge, where the ice will hang on days into a thaw).
 
dad missed shooting him with a shotgun in one hand and the other driving to my coop... and the worst part is my parents have seen a pack of 4.... but this one is the most frequent visitor... and it hunts during the day...... our coyotes are huge over where i live.
this is also what a well fed coyote looks like... having 6 McChickens in 1 week.....

See it now?

I've got my own coyote problem: there were six pups in the litter that grew up on the hill last summer, and they only hunt our chickens (and cats, blast it) for fun: mostly they live off the neighbors' garbage and petfood that's left on back porches. This one dropped a pastry box right where it stopped to scratch what itches.

This was shot with my dinky cheap pocket camera, and the autofocus wanted to look at the tree instead of the coyote.

The coyote who was probably the mother of the one I saw today was around 75 pounds (she was hit on the road right at weaning time, and every outdoor cat in the neighborhood disappeared in a week); she and her littermates were fed by some clueless suburbanites who thought they were "trapped" in a stormwater overflow pond. One of the things that makes my suburban neighborhood coyote heaven is that there are numerous 36" culverts that feed out of primary stormwater ponds into overflow ponds, and are dry almost all the time: perfect dens, and protected from big dogs and bears.

did you guys hear about this?

while i do not smoke and avoid the smoke or hold my breath around people i feel that the state is trying to step into private lives/ lifestyles. the concept is good, you shouldn't smoke around kids.... but, to let the government dictate everything in your privacy... we let this slide then they think they can get more rules on what you can and can't do in life. think this interferes with the pursuit of life, liberty and happiness clause....

One's pursuit of happiness stops at other people's lungs, especially children's.
 
Shoot, I missed it while I was out having a smoke!

Not trun. I quit after 19 years. Its been april 27 1995 the last time I had one. I still love the smell of a fresh light cigerette. I think its crap that you have no rights do smoke or drink as long as you are of age and responsible. I always respected others and never smoked around people who did not.
