@Brian granted I've never met a mountain lion, but I was so anxious driving on roads in Western Australia after a few incidents of rogue cows and roos throwing themselves in front of car ...

Although it’s coming into snake season here so we do get the odd one in the backyard every now and again, just keep the door shut and all is fine

I’d have to imagine snake season where you live is a little different than where I live. If don’t think I could handle yours.

When I was travelling over here years ago before I moved out I remember stopping at a roadhouse in the NT and they literally had a massive bin that the road train drivers would pull off the dead Roos from the bull bars and throw them in the bin wasn’t a good sight

It appears to be a connection to the Wabash Area Sewer Improvements Project. The name Wabash is common in the state of West Virginia and does have a connection to the fabric we have come to love. There is also a Wabash River and county in Indiana. Further, we had a Wabash Confederacy of Native Americans here in what is now Illinois, Indiana and Ohio. Oh, and there is a Wabash truck company, too.

The only reason I know how to pronounce wabash

[Oaktavia]

@GraemeE in my head for a while I thought it was wuh-bash but now that I have heard others say it as wab-ash that's how I try to pronounce it as well.

First day working on a job site. I’ve worked in sheet metal shops for years, today is the start of a new journey. I got in with what seems to be a great company! So I’m very excited.

We’re working in Hutto, TX on a new Data Center.
