Wildlife Out Our Front Door

8/21/2022

Oracle is home to a variety of wildlife, running the gamut from deer like the one pictured here, to a black bear frequenting one of our neighbors yard, to bobcats, everpresent javalina and an occasional mountain lion. Overall pretty good company. Of course the bear had to be moved to a different location and the javalina can be a pain in the ass.

Kaz and I moved to Oracle in 1979. The house we bought dated to the late 1940s. With little advance knowledge of the place, we set out to build a new life together, intending to settle in and raise a family.

Queens, New York and before that Chicago, Illinois rapidly receded in our rearview mirror as small town living moved front and center.

Of course, we had to learn how to do lots of new things - from chainsawing dead trees, fighting fires, building cabinets, patching leaky roofs; not to mention figuring out how to get along in a rural town in Arizona with the center of local government an hour away and a do-it-yourself ethos the order of the day.
