It's what drove me to grad school. It was here in Billings in the early 90s (between a move from Yosemite to Boulder). I just moved forms for the entire winter. I came home smelling like Diesel fuel. The foreman of my crew usually wore a shirt that said "kick-ass grad party 1992." Sara worked nights at a outdoor shop here called Backcountry (now long closed). I came home in the freezing dark, undressed outside to keep the diesel smell out, showered and read Milton, Shakespeare, et al. in prep for my grad school entrance exams until Sara came home. We were living in Sara's grandmother's basement. When we moved back to Billings, we bought the house. My office is now in our old basement bedroom. Rose–alas, yes. It’s what drove me to grad school.

I'm pretty sure their natural inclination is to be timid of humans. But ya know, after a few years of being habituated and tempted up to the car window in old Yellowstone and given some cookies will most likely lead a bite or other unpleasant encounter. And the cycle of extermination will begin again..... tim — haven’t a clue on the science front about wolf attacks. I’m pretty sure their natural inclination is to be timid of humans.

Have they gained a taste for human flesh in Montana after all these years? Do they steal babies as in the Russian folk tales? Do houses on chicken feet prowl the land? I hear a wolves howling all the time, but that's just in my head and doesn't count. I read in Farley Mowat that wolves don’t attack people — is that not true?
