Not that interesting, compared to some of my neighbors. Another artist lived a couple ridges over from me. One day she got home from work (we were drafting for the same architect) to find a mountain lion in her garage. Lots of bears over there, too. Late one night she heard a yowling and ran out in her nightie with rifle only to see a big cat make off with one of her housecats. She debated chasing it through the dark (1 am), but figured that her pet was already dead. She didn't have PG&E, so after surgery from breast cancer she was out chopping her own firewood when a neighbor drove up and gave her the what-for. 4th generation rancher and as independent as they come. THAT is a lady with some stories! Carolly
