Just heard on the news that Oregon has the worst air quality in the world right now. It is dangerous air. We are staying indoors as we should be.

But we aren't the only ones in danger. Yesterday saw the third visit to the farm of a coyote that has already killed two chickens. Our daughter ran out into the dark at 3:00 am yelling at the coyote, which had a chicken in its mouth. It dropped the chicken and ran into the woods next door. The chicken is ok. I don't know how it is getting into the chicken coop. Perhaps the chickens are getting out. The coyote seems to go for ones like this one.

Recently, before the fires, there has been bear droppings on the place too. We live in the country, so wildlife does roam the area.
