DEADWOOD -- Despite sitting in a hot, bubbling Jacuzzi on her deck Thursday morning, Marlene Todd froze.
She had just eased into in the hot tub a little after 7 a.m. on the deck of her Spring Street home when she heard some rustling beside her.
There was a mountain lion, crouching less than a foot away.
The lion must have been equally surprised. It was cornered somewhat because the deck stairs blocked its retreat. It would have to go up and over the hot tub.

The cat was obviously glad to get the heck out of dodge and intended the woman no harm.

Todd said. "We locked eyes, and it kicked off of the hot tub and ran away. When it jumped, it flipped my robe into the hot tub."
Sure lady, we've that one before.
An aside, without pictures this thread is worthless :-)

What would Kim Bauer do?
Call her dad on one of those cell phones whose battery never goes dead, of course.

They are everywhere. I live in Dublin, CA a city of 45K which is just over the hills from the SF Bay. We have mountain lions sighted at least once a year in town. One was hit by a car two miles from my house.
The town south of here, Pleasanton had a city of 65K, had one right in the downtown area at 10 AM on a weekday morning. It had to be shot because it wasn’t heading back to the hills.
In Livermore, A the home of the Lawrence Livermore lab, the moonbats every Good Friday do a sit in at the main gate and get arrested. One year, a cop was putting out cones to block off the street. he looks up and sees a mountain lion 10 feet away! It ran and laid being the sign to the lab and stayed there while the moonbats did their thing(they didn’t seem to care that a cougar was watching them). After it was over, the cops shot it because they couldn’t get a good shot with a tranquilizer gun. They found out it had been hit by a car.
Even in San Jose, the 10th most populous city in the country, There have been two cougars in the last year or so.

According to the Weather Bureau, the temperature in Deadwood at 8:54 AM Thursday morning was 19 degrees. Probably a bit cooler at 7:00, since by 9:54 it had risen to a nice toasty 20. Wind was 12 mph out of the Southeast. Yielding a wind chill index of 6.
I think the cat just wanted to get warm. :)

Sorry for the other mis-spellings. We need to be able to edit our own posts.
