Man and Nature were both really LOUD this morning. *grin* I took the dogs out in the yard, and in the space of 5-7 minutes there were cows mooing from all directions, a huge flock of ‘invisible’ quail on the sage ridge clucking and bubbling in a frenzy, and a helicopter flew overhead, the sound of the blades beating reverberating off the hills in a marching band drum type fury that almost makes your heart change tempo.
