The Animals

Have you heard about the animals taking over?  Deer dawdling through a Japanese shopping center. Mountain goats gallivanting gaily in Llandudno. Wild boars barging through Bergamo.  Monkeys mauling each other in the towns of Thailand.

It's happening here as well.  Chipmunks chewing through my lawn, running amok, boldly staring me right in the eye as I stake my claim to a deck chair. Sometimes I wish I had a pellet gun.
