This wouldn't be funny if the little girl had been injured.

Wile E. Coyote (also known simply as "the Coyote") and the Road Runner are a duo of cartoon characters from the Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies series of cartoons. In each episode, the Coyote repeatedly attempts to catch and subsequently eat the Road Runner, a fast-running ground bird, but is never successful. Instead of his animal instincts, the Coyote uses absurdly complex contraptions (sometimes in the manner of Rube Goldberg) to try to catch his prey, which comically backfire, with the Coyote often getting injured in slapstick fashion. Many of the items for these contrivances are mail-ordered from a variety of companies that are all named Acme.
It used to be rare to see a coyote around this part of the country. In the last few yrs coyote sights and sounds have increased
Saw a pack of 7 last fall
Think housing development further east is pushing wild life further west. This is not natural habitat for wild life. But maybe the increase in deer population may be the cause also. Dang deer are a hazard on the road during rutting season. Wish they would issue more hunting tags. See numerous deer ever harvest
We had a car less than 1 yr old get hit by a deer. Now it will be worthless as a trade because it is listed as being in an accident. Car is perfect but used car buyers won't even look at it. When it is 5 yr old and we trade with less than 99,000 miles will sell for 2000.00 or less at auction
So I was told by sales person
Last car I sold private and finally accepted 500.00
AWD SUV Jeep Cherokee
Thanks Wayne!
The deer population would make a great topic for a new thread.
