Here's a little something more I dug up on the "Road Runner Cartoons" that waxes a little philosophical at the end. This should satisfy the philosophers here who were wondering why this should be brought up on a site like this! lol

 

"Animation director Chuck Jones created the Road Runner, an extremely speedy bird that literally runs on roads in the U.S. southwestern desert, in 1948. Together with writers Tedd Pierce and Michael Maltese, Jones paired the road-running fowl with a hungry coyote, later given the name of Wile E., who has an overweening belief in his own ingenuity and in scientific methods and instruments of ACME Corporation design for use in his constant pursuit of the elusive, fast bird.

Regarded by Jones as a violently comedic parable for the modern conundrum of advanced technology versus an indomitable force of nature, or for a man's quest for the perfect, succulent bird (woman) that is always beyond his reach, Wile E. Coyote's chase of the Road Runner has lasted for a half-century and continues unabated in television reruns of the classic Warner Brothers cartoons"

Wow, all this dialog just from an experiment on uploading images.  What if I actually said something important??  I think the TN would explode with more positive energy than my circuits could handle.  Theosophists are either powerful or verbose.  Perhaps both.  All the best to my Road Runner friends!

OK, I have to get "in" on this... 

There is a fox at Primrose whom I call: 

'Wile E. Coyote, AKA Mr. Grey Fox with The Bushy White Tail.' 

I know this is a long name, and I near exhaust myself saying it when I see him from time to time...  LOL

Thanks, Joe, I was trying to recall the Road Runner's foil and it was Wile E. Coyote. Been a long time since I've seen any of those. In fact, it's been a long time since any have been shown publicly, that I know of.

Howdy Heidi;  It is a road runner found in the Palm Desert area of California.  I was experimenting on uploading files to the network and it was just one I had in a folder.  No real significance to it really. They are fun to watch.  Very swift.
