Our neighborhood was visited today by the famous, albeit shaggy, Wile E. Coyote. He spent a good deal of time sitting in Dr. Schwarzchild's side lawn before shuffling along to the Mack's. The children and I are always excited to see the 'hood teaming with wildlife. It wasn't long ago that we had our nightly visitor, Bob...as in Bob Cat. Although I was never able to get a great photograph of him, check out this <a href="http://dnr.state.il.us/orc/Wildlife/virtual_news/images/bobcat/bobcat_lying.jpg"><u>picture</u></a> of a very similar bobcat, as well as this link to some bobcat "<a href="http://www.soundboard.com/sb/Bobcat_sounds_audio.aspx"><u>screams</u></a>." I think ours sounds a lot like "Bobcat Sound 2" or number 11.<br />

It's a duty I like to take very seriously, and I have been thinking quite a bit recently about <a href="http://www.asphaltisbest.com/asphalt_calculator.htm"><u>pavement</u></a>. As you can see by this <a href="http://www.asphaltisbest.com/asphalt_calculator.htm"><u>link</u></a> we can figure out what kind of tonnage it will take us to pave the roads. If we figure there is a mile of road to cover, 20 feet wide and 4 inches deep, we come to the figure of nearly 2600 tons of hot mix batch pavement.<br />
