I had a um "maturing" science experiment on my deck. Due to the cooler weather we've been having, it was taking a little longer to age but I was watching it closely for the perfect moment. Last night as I lay sleeping not 5 feet away from my subject, separated only by sliding glass doors, some critter decided it was ripe enough and took it for a midnight snack. The funny thing is my dogs didn't notice a thing, nor did I. I suspect a skunk, although it might have been a coyote. Oh, well, the squeamish among you should take this opportunity to rejoice. I'm bummed. I WAS going to donate it to the carnivorous creatures when I was done..Honest!
