On our way home after lunch today, we saw a couple of animals we didn't recognize crossing the road in front of us. We've spent a good bit of the rest of the day trying to figure out what they were. They looked like long-legged otters or maybe very large minks.
After further research, I am quite certain that what we saw was a mother jaguarundi and its kitten. They're not supposed to be here, but I'm now pretty sure that's what we say.

Animals have a habit of turning up where you wouldn't expect them to be. I'm reasonably certain that I once saw a coyote here on the Island, and we're not exactly what you'd think of as "coyote territory". Dunno what the Hell they eat, there's no road runners around here.
Re Bucky, reportedly he was really named after a friend of Simon's. There's a character named Bucky Williams in the penultimate S&K instalment of "Blue Bolt", which was done at the same time. Cap's Bucky is introduced in Captain America Comics #1 as "Bucky Barnes, mascot of the regiment". I don't know when the James Buchanan explanation was introduced.
In the Captain's early DC thread, should I post comments on stuff covered more than a couple of days ago as sub-posts on that part of the conversation, or as an ordinary latest comment?

Coyotes on Long Island
Just spread out some anvils and ACME catalogues in places where they've been sighted and they should take themselves out fairly quickly.
