You and I met over the word cougar*; in my story Enchanted Rock Blue(s), one of the characters is a cougar. Cougars live in the Texas hill country, but they are very hard to find or see, and as my character Maurice says, “Cougars remind us that we are not always at the top of the food chain, and that makes us less arrogant.” For that matter, there are cougars in New York, too, although more of the human female variety than the Felis concolor type.
*I am glad that we met, as you are an entertaining person.

Sounds like it was a lovely sojourn–thanks for sharing it, I enjoyed reading about your experience.
