Stupid Javelina!

Jon pointed out to me that those of you who have not spent time in the Sonoran Desert probably have no idea what javelina are. I cannot believe that I actually used to pay money to go see these things at the Desert Museum.

These creatures are now the bane of my existence. I used to find them so cute. Occasionally, we would be running in the evening and spot a family of them in the desert around our neighborhood. Now they are taking over the neighborhood (perhaps taking it back is more accurate, since they were probably here first). Anyway, on Sunday and Tuesday night they knocked over our garbage and flung it all over the side of our house. GRRRR. Since the garbage cannot fit in the garage with both cars, I now have the lid fastened shut with old climbing gear, and the battle of wits begins. Who is smarter, the wild pig-like creature or me?

...Don't answer that please.
