Mac G4's do not plug into DC power. Poison oak is not thwarted by sunblock. To you, that old wood pile looks like a nice shady spot to sit. To 5,000 wood scorpions, that old wood pile is home. "Oh that looks like a nice harmless garden spider to me" is the one Winston Churchhill quote never quoted. "Perhaps raccoons will stay out of the dog food cans if I put them on the sun porch" sounds good until you are nailing up all new sun porch screens. Dogs do not believe you when you say "lilly ponds are not fun." Human skin is not the ecology they mean when they mark laundry detergent "ecologically friendly." Skunks do not turn their backs when they attack -- but they do a nifty tap dance. Dominoes does not deliver to "the last house past the big rock on your left." Cats think all those stories about bears are made up till they meet one. Cats can outrun bears. You had better be wearing Nikes.
