Mountain Lion attack
A nice story about life in Colorado for a trail runner
My old stomping grounds
A tough guy did what he had to do

Sometimes ..................
.......... The Lion wins, sometimes NOT.
It averages out in the end.
Either way making for entertaining news.

The lion was 35 pound juvenile. Most people could have fought off such a LITTLE puddy cat...
Woke!

''A tough guy did what he had to do.''
Let's add this. Runner is not a tough guy, he admitted he wasn't tough. 150 lbs and 5'10'' or so, he fought to the death. It helped that it
was not a full grown cat. That would have been a different outcome.
US Marines: providing enemies of America an opportunity to die for their country since 1775.
What I say before any important decision.
F*ck it.
