Coyote Crossing

Hello!

Yay! Someone utterly incapable of stooping to “first”!

Howdy, Kat. How’s married life treating you?

Heh, as long as it doesn’t turn into “flame on!“ I guess we’ll be okay. ;)

PS: Third!

Howdy, you! Married is good. Life is frustrating, but working itself out. Give the desert a kiss for me, willya?

I’m glad you’re keeping the Den, though!  :)

Hiya, comment thread.

Oh, cool!  I’ve signed up for the Coyote Den several times, but then could never figure out how to get it to work on my computer.

But I’ve been lurking around these parts for a long time ....

Comment thread says “howdy, Sven.“ And hey, do you remember your sciurifaunal studies from out here? Saw a big ol’ ground squirrel up at sunrise rock yesterday, and from what I can tell Cima Dome isn’t quite in the range of Spermophilus variegatus or (even more so) S. mojavensis, while S. tereticaudus isn’t supposed to like it up that high.

(Less-pretentious translation for layfolk: rock squirrel, Mojave and round-tailed ground squirrels respectively.)

and howdy, jo(e)!

right on.

FIRST!!!!

oh wait.

“Spermophilus Variegatus” really really wants to be incorporated into lyrics over a chill beat

FOURTEENTH!!!

Comments good.  Possible glitch:  When I’m in the comments and click on “home” it doesn’t take me back to faultline.org.  Maybe that’s just my computer but thought I would point it out.

boy this sure is fun. glad you opened up comments again. :)

I just tried to favorite nezua’s comment.  Heh.

We’re counting on you, Nez. Do it up.

Cool! Still got the crazy-ass URLs though, I see.

Chris, thanks for re-enabling commenting… I’ve been lurking since you fired this blog up again in its new form, and though I love the concept of the Den, didn’t quite get around to registering there.

Comments: great, a bit quicker? Coyote Den was fine too.

I decided to take the registration requirement off of DesertBlog too, in hopes that we’ll get a few more comments over there.

Yay!!

Disclaimer: Mammals R Not Us, but I agree a big ground squirrel on Cima Dome is a puzzler. Round-tails aren’t very big and, as you say, are down in the creosote flats anyway. For sure not a woodrat?

Finally, a nice open space for derailment maximum effect.

Woohoo!! The creek flows again!! Seems to have gone underground and moved south east along the faultline for a bit :-)

I’m with Rana on keeping the den, but den like Rob says we need a nice open space for derailment coz hideout if we can get the maximal effect indoors.

and just one day after i convinced myself to register!

hi chris!!

xoxoxo

Nth!!!

Thanks for this.  As i was on the road for the last 10 days, and couldn’t remember my password for this site amongst all the others i have to remember, it was easier to lurk.  Now when i am out and about in the deserts, and find an open access portal, i can say hello.

i have heard the People. i shall respond.

Thanks, Chris!  Like jo(e), I tried to comment a couple of times in the Den, but for some reason, i.e., my own dumbness, never got through.  Thanks also for leading me to theriomorph.(hi!)  Guess I just can’t get enough of liberal, dog-loving bloggers.

I love the title Coyote Crossing, and nice blog you have there.
