"Bears"

Drinking FocusAid at my apartment in Leavenworth and doing pushups. Not a ton of wildlife to talk about today, but I'll see what I can do. 

Updates:

1) "Bears" got into the trash cans at Hannah's place. Now, it's unclear whether these were bears or raccoons. Evidence in favor of bears: these trash cans are massive and heavy and would be tough to tip, and they were indeed tipped over. Evidence in favor of raccoons: Occam's razor, and also I wouldn't put it past raccoons to know how to put their body weights together and move back and forth till the garbage can tipped. They're clever bastards. Of course it's all moot if I tipped the garbage cans over in a prank. 

2) Marmots officially live at Hannah's apt complex (apparently Hannah's apt is a hotbed of wildlife activity). Her dog wants to kill them.

3) HOW COULD I FORGET. Hannah's dog and I got charged by a deer in the field by her house. This is not a euphemism. We literally got charged. We had to step off the path and run laterally to avoid getting hooves in our faces. There was a fawn nearby, and I suspect this deer was one of its parents. Deer in Leavy are cray.

Some other news: I played pickleball this morning without caffeine and played much better. Several data points now in favor of not playing with caffeine. I focused on minimizing unforced errors, and that revolutionized everything. 

Also in other news my finger is healing. Still can't climb but sometime soon. Yesterday I touched real rock and my fingers felt fragile.
