It could happen


Perennial puma opponent Paul Scrivano neglected to mention the other recent episodes of cougar crime. With their “razor-sharp claws,” I’m pretty sure they were responsible for the burglary of the community center and the theft of a backpack from the Residence Inn (Thank you, Sheriff’s Blotter).

With Scrivano’s frequent and vicarious prose warning us of the dangers of the mountain lions— which are literally only one sliding glass door away from killing us all—I’m beginning to wonder if he has an excellent screenplay about an out-of-control cougar and the rural community it terrorizes that he’s eager to crowd-fund.

If so, I eagerly look forward to the premiere of “Claws,” shot in “Blood-Thirsty-Predator-Vision.” Now, please excuse me while I go close the back door.
