🐺 Coyotes in broad daylight. Foxes taking over the neighborhood. And apparently some Lake Forest residents are FEEDING them.Skoo Walker is back, and somehow a conversation about wildlife roaming around town ends exactly where you'd expect this show to end up: Wile E. Coyote finally hiring a lawyer and suing Acme because none of the equipment works. 😂But that's just the start.🏠 The Marwede house at Westminster & Oakwood is coming down for condos. Skoo thinks the new development will fit right in — but it raises the bigger Lake Forest question: what should we preserve, what should we let change, and who gets to decide?🚁 There's also the new police drone program and whether getting eyes on an emergency before a squad car can cross town is simply good technology.🌪️ Then we get into something Pete has been hammering on: when the power goes out and communications fail, what's the actual disaster plan? If something didn't work last time, did we fix it?📰 And Skoo may have accidentally described what we're trying to build here.The old Lake Forester used to land every Thursday with everything — sports, politics, social events and, most importantly, the blotter. 😂You knew what was happening in town.That newspaper isn't what it used to be.Could a podcast become the electronic Lake Forester?And if all of that gets too heavy, don't worry.We've developed the official Lake Forest emergency preparedness plan:🥂 Charcuterie.🍾 Prosecco.🧺 A blanket.🧊 A $500 Yeti.Then bug out to the country club."That's the bunker." 😂🎙️ Pete Jansons with Skoo Walker⏱️ WHAT WE GET INTO🥂 0:00 — What's in the Lake Forest bug-out bag?🏈 1:20 — Lake Forest football, Carmel & the freshman QB🏟️ 7:55 — Old-school AstroTurf: basically green pavement🏈 11:42 — Bobby Douglass, the Bears & football back in the day🐺 15:18 — Coyotes in daylight + foxes taking over the neighborhood😂 17:55 — Wile E.
