I'm going to be in the Southwest this spring sometime and hope to see a few of these critters. Not so much the coyote (he scares me) or the spiders (too many legs... I admit to a leg prejudice... more than four and I get squeamish), but I'd love to meet up with all the reptiles. And that ring tail cat... he looks interesting. I won't touch or approach because I am a smart traveler. I don't ever treat the wildlife as buddies to cozy up to. Hell, I don't even cozy up to friends too often.
Lisa notes that the roadrunner will eat Cheetos (for those outside the US.... those are "puffed cheese snacks" that are bagged like potato chips and a frightening shade of orange). I won't be feeding the critters. I like them, and all, but I really don't want to be close enough to picnic with them.
Readers of this blog are welcome to comment on this post and let me know how to contact them if they want a postcard from my trip out west.

This is kind of silly and off-topic (sort of), but they make a "natural" cheeto that isn't so orange. I like getting that one on the rare occasion that I buy them for the kids -- they don't turn their fingers (and everything else) orange.
Hey, if you've got an extra postcard I'd be thrilled for you to send one my way. You know where to find me. :)
Oooh - a postcard! I'll never say no!
I grew up in New Mexico, a state cool enough to have the roadrunner as its state bird, but I've never seen one in the wild. Sad, isn't it? Horned toads are pretty neat, too.
[New Mexico is also cool enough to be the first (only?) state with a state cookie, the bizcochito.]
I do love my Cheetos but I hardly ever eat them. I must say I've had my share, though.
If you'd like to drop me a postcard from NM, I'd certainly think warm thoughts . . . thanks!
I'd love a postcard from your trip. Hopefully, you still have my address from the Desert wildlife postcard.
Don't worry about the coyotes ~ they are more scared of you than you will be of them! I've seen coyotes, javalina, roadrunners, rabbits, quail, deer, but thankfully, no live snakes!
