Ray’s Thought for the Day - Let’s Go Play in the Endangered Species Preserve
Could a pig monkey live in harmony with nature? Easy that. No. The natural habitat for a mature pig monkey is paved. Yet even a pig monkey may occasionally venture into the great outdoors, enjoying itself, while situated aboard an aquatic craft, or ensconced in a great terrestrial vehicle.
However, young male pig monkeys, in common with the adventuresome young of many mammalian species, are naturally frisky. These youngsters may get it into their noggins that a quick frisk through the great outdoors is good for self-image. Plus, frisking about in nature is a test of pig monkeyhood.
Naturally, a young pig monkey needs some real outdoors for his pig monkeyhood trial, and a bicycle. Here’s how that works. Young pig monkey loads bicycle on to great vehicle then heads out to the endangered species preserve. But lo and behold, the endangered species preserve gate is locked. The sign reads, Achtung! No Pig Monkeys Allowed.
Whoa! Perhaps you are not a pig monkey. But try to feel like a pig monkey anyway. Just imagine how a pig monkey feels when it sees a sign like that. Furious! That’s because the pig monkey feels like personal freedom, to do anything, anywhere, anytime, is contravened by that sign. But mostly the pig monkey just feels, furious.
The furious young pig monkey gets on his cell phone, driving along furiously, whining on his cell phone. Pretty soon, all the young pig monkey’s family and friends learn what has transpired. All the pig monkeys are, furious.
Anon, that nature preserve is fixed up for pig monkeys. Nice trails are everywhere. Plus, there’s a parking lot and a comfort station. Hold it! A young pig monkey has run his bicycle over a cliff. Achtung! Everyone. We need to rescue a young pig monkey.
OK. Enough with the pig monkeys, all righty then, maybe.
Nature is a luxury that US, in these parts, can not afford. But US can, apparently, afford multi-use endangered species preserves, maybe. That figures, considering US.
Yep. How much does it cost to maintain endangered species habitat? Well, there’s the fencing, and road maintenance. Then there’s the normal access associated with all the utility easements that has to be managed. Yes, and there may be other management activities the managers dream up to justify the cost of salaries and staff. All that costs money.
So by all means, lets pay for public access, too. That way, the cost shall increase, perhaps, a lot. Who knows what the cost shall be for managing young pig monkeys on bicycles in addition to the endangered species habitat?

Your hypothesis about pig monkeys reminded me of the theoretical beginnings of humans according to the Osage Indians. According to the "History of the Expedition under the command of Lewis and Clark" edited by Elliott Coues, people were descended from the mating of a snail and a beaver.
Unquestionably this is one of the competing stories of creation.
But pig monkeys. I guess I never lived around either pigs or monkeys, so I don't know. Still, now I have even one more theory so I must be getting closer to the truth.
Those books I mentioned are in Google Books and the story starts on page 12 of vol. 1.
The Plant List Requestor
I just read the snail plus beaver creation myth. Typed in Osage snail beaver. Actually, it makes a lot of sense.
As you may know, alone, among the world's religions, Druidry has no creation myth. But as soon as Darwin gets debunked, we may put one together.
The snail man is very interesting. I do not believe I have seen a creation myth giving so much importance to an invertebrate.
In fact, the whole story is interesting. Huh-huh, beaver lady.
I shall think some more about this story.
Thanks for the tip.
