escape

Ok...before you go crazy and buy snowbird repellant or snowbird-proof your home. "Snowbirds" are those northern people looking for an escape from the snowy winter weather. Florida has always been a big destination for Snowbirds, but Texas is catching up.

There are so many stories of animals initially brought to a location as exotic pets and ending up escaping causing catastrophic results for native habitats. The python problem in Florida is a glaring example. Could kangaroos in Texas escape and gain a foothold in Texas?

The message I received earlier this week from a good childhood friend was not a good one. She informed me that local police were searching for several 'undocumented persons' IN MY HOMETOWN of Andrews! When she said local I assumed somewhere in the 4-3-2, which is still disconcerting.
