... when we first moved to the Vegas-Mojave-Desert twenty-plus years ago
... the natural world out here was just beginning to get interrupted
... at first there were lots of smaller animals & insects (even a small bobcat out back)
... now most all are gone
... years & years of development along-w atmospheric-chemtrail-spraying taking their toll
... large roaches once were plentiful in warmer months
... now have not seen a one for more than a year or so
... smaller creatures being slowly poisoned are first to go
... our time ever more unavoidable can come as no surprise
