An upbeat observation for Monday a.m.

The problem with spotting urban wildlife is that about two seconds after delighting in the moment, any reasonable person has to wonder how long it will be before the animal gets hit by a car.

But maybe there’s an exception. It’s not unusual to spot wild turkeys inside the city limits of Spokane. Yet I don’t recall ever seeing one dead in the road.

Whatever they’re doing to avoid that fate, here’s hoping they keep it up.

Knock on wood.
