Random observations from your day

I enjoy feeling my scalp for little pieces of dandruff, scabs, and dirt.

I have no idea why.

Bloody hell. I meant to write "your corner of the world".

It *is* a sensation. You shouldn't have them. They won't be able to survive for long, right?

If they can survive close to the German border, they should be able to live here too, I guess. But, real wilderness, no, we don't have that. There are enough places to hide and hunt though. Foxes do great here. A wolf is something different, I know, but I can imagine that it will find ways to adapt.

I wonder if I ever will happen to see one. Guess not.

Your corner is simply too populated for the wolf. They'd be scared all the time.

Wolves need space around here we have their smaller cousin, coyotes which seem to do fairly well in the suburban environment, is there an equivalent to them in Europe?  They have the look of mangy midsized to largish dogs and eat most anything including cats>

[TheoK]

Foxes are probably the European equivalent. There are some here that come all the way to the front door sometimes, but they aren't dangerous to people like the wolves can be.

[odeon]

Wolves are seldom dangerous.

[TheoK]

I said "can be" 

[odeon]

And I said "seldom".

Are there any other obvious truths we need to repeat?

[TheoK]

I heard that Moomintrolls are one of wolves' favourite dishes 

[odeon]

But we are harmless!

A wolf would be a sensation in our corner of the world.

We had one stray visit the city a couple of months ago. She was around for a week or so and even ventured into the city proper.

  Foxes and wild turkeys have been spotted near my workplace.  I wonder what they are thinking. 

["couldbecousin"]

Sweden is 55% pure forest and a population density of 23 persons/km². Better chances for a wolf here 

  Sweden is gorgeous, judging by the pictures you've posted.  I might visit Sweden someday if I ever win the lottery.
   How many Swedes are fluent in English, or would I have to learn Swedish and sound like that Muppet chef?

  Scabs are interesting, it's the texture!  I twist and twirl my hair all the time, that's my thing.

There's quite a big dragonfly circling in the garden as we speak. It's a hawker (or mosaic darner). I like those.

About 5,000 dragonflies hatched under the bridge yesterday. So many youngens'....there were spider webs packed with them- luckky fellas, those spiders got a killin. They will probably be breeding as well with the sudden increase in food supply.

Meanwhile, it hasn't rained for two days, and the river is going back down and leaving a brunch of drift wood (and trash) on the banks. I am thinking of going to collect some once it dries out a bit and make a big fire.

^ Sounds like you live in a nice rural-ish area, SG. The fire sounds cool too.. haven't done that for frikkin' ages. Ffff, not even in the fireplace downstairs.
