I have been searching for my Native American animal name (like Fox Mulder on the X-Files). At first I though it might be Prarie Dog since that is what I saw the most of. But many of them were lying on the highway dead, so I didn't think that was a good name. Then when we went to dinner in Dillon I saw a painting of a mountain lion. The big cat was magnificient. Then yesterday in the Jackson Hot Springs Hotel was a stuffed mountain lion. Now I am no fan of stuffing animals for display, I don't know how this mountain lion died. But the creature is absolutely beautiful. Look at the muscles in his legs. For those of you that know my cat Sunwapta, and how he attacks and jumps on people's shoulders and backs, that is nothing compared to what this animal could do.
From now on, I will be known as "Mountain Lion."
