Good Morning Tri-State Email Newsletter

Good morning --
Wrong
It's funny that yesterday I said the anchor would either be Kathrine, Lance or Tanya. Then today, Deb Silverman anchored. A rarity indeed, but a good one. Meantime, I'm not producing tomorrow because I have a training session instead, so there won't be a newsletter. Lately, that's not a rarity.
Foxy obsession
I saw the wolf/coyote/fox thing again last night in the exact same place on Van Meter Street at the exact same time. I was watching for it, so I got close and flipped on the brights, and I'm 99% sure it was a young Red Fox. It definitely had a white tipped tail, I couldn't see its chest. The one I saw wasn't quite so red, more of a gray color, which the article linked above says is possible.
Meantime, I got a couple of emails.
-- Carrie from Villa Hills says coyotes can be heard behind her backyard. She says they're really loud, and she's seen them before.
-- Another reader spotted a "wolf like animal crossing U.S. 50 on the way to GE."
-- The Enquirer reported yesterday that there are some coyotes in Fairfield Township that howl whenever emergency vehicles turn on their sirens.
Other observations lately
-- A couple of days ago I woke up with a sore neck. This happens to everyone every so often. What's strange is that the only cure seems to be another night's sleep.
-- I found a funny quote about caffeine:
"Adrenalin is also the source of our "fight-or-flight" response, which enabled our prehistoric ancestors to escape from saber-toothed tigers and other predators. By stimulating your adrenal glands to produce adrenalin, caffeine puts your body in this "fight-or-flight" state, which is useless while you're just sitting at your desk."
Maybe. I've seen fights with desktop computers and flights from bosses who think they're saber-toothed tigers.
My favorites from today's GMTS:
-- 77 Year Old Skiing Grandma --
A reminder that if you take care of yourself, age is just a number. But you should still wear sunblock and protect your eyes from harmful UV rays.
-- Nude Sculpture Outside Library --
A big hubbub in suburban Seattle. There's a new sculpture of a naked old lady, on private land near a public library. I think it's downright despicable. Personally I feel we should clothe all living things. Kids shouldn't be allowed to go to the zoo until they put some pants on the apes and rhinos. Oh and the giraffes.
Tri-State Trivia question from today's GMTS:
What creature was brought to Cincinnati in the early 1950s and has spread dramatically, living in rocky areas around the Tri-State?
