Hybrid Wolf Attack

In an area of Northern Kentucky not far from here, there are apparently a pack of hybrid wolves on the loose. According to reports a truck pulled up on a suburban street and unloaded about twelve of these beasts. Nobody knows why, although presumably this is the work of Karl Rove.

These creatures are considered, technically, dogs. But according to a media report:

"[They] still could be dangerous just because of their size and, quite frankly, their instincts," Wright added. "You know as a wild animal, they have instincts to hunt."

That has Cunningham and her neighbors anxious and concerned. "They're flesh-eating animals, you know," said one neighbor, Marilyn Wuebold.

Many are the posts that I begin writing that have a gentle-yet-snarky tone regarding the dangers of living outside of the city. Although most of these don't get published, there are plenty of available topics. Weird outbreaks at water parks, firemen wearing dresses, police chases and shootouts - now the list of potential dangers include - are you kidding - hybrid wolves? One minute you're unloading the SUV after a trip to Costco and the next minute you're in the middle of a SciFi Channel CGI-of-the-week movie feature. Honey, get me the rail gun from the garage.

I'll continue to nurture my Red State sensibilities in these Blue State environs, thank you, here at the Spacetropic estate in the neighborhood. Give me the occasional over-aggressive panhandler and a few kids muttering rap lyrics any day of the week.
