one last word on cougars

For those who don't believe me, we know it was a cougar because they have very small heads (check), very large back legs (check), and the clincher: their tails are 2/3 the size of their body (i.e. very long, the longest of any mammal) (final check). That makes it a cougar in my book, or as the folks in mid-MO call them: they are "just" mountain lions! I think the word "lion" should denote bad-animal-to-see-in-the-woods. Oh, to go back to the mountain goats in Columbia, they seem so benign now.
