We also have a mountain lion that has been seen a few miles down the road. I have seen coyote chasing the deer behind my house as well as seeing the bear. So, I've got all kinds of wild life to observe. I have seen the bald eagles flying too. It is a beautiful thing. There are two sets of breeding pairs nesting in Warren County, NJ. They are hoping to be able to get a few more around NJ as well.
As far as company goes, at least my county and the surrounding ones went to Bush. I have to take solace in that fact.
Warren, Sussex, Morris, Somerset and Hunterdon Counties should seceed and join Pennsylvania. That would put that state in the Republican column. As for the rest of New Jersey - let them join Massachusetts.
Coyotes don't bother me, nor do eagles. Actually even cougars and bears don't bother me much either. I don't live in Jersey and so I can carry a shooting iron to protect myself. I like watching wildlife too. But I like to the one in control - not the bear or the cougar.
