The Desert Across the Street: A Few of My Experiences with Javelinas

As a long-time resident of Tucson, Arizona I have learned that wildlife is always going to be a part of my life, whether I want it to be or not. When I say "or not," I do not mean that I would prefer wildlife not to be in my life. However, sometimes living across the street from a desert can be a pain in the tuchus. I'll give you a few examples explaining why. :)
