A peccary is a medium-sized pig-like hoofed mammal of the family Tayassuidae. They are found throughout Central and South America and in the southwestern area of North America. Peccaries usually measure between 90 and 130 cm in length, and a full-grown adult usually weighs about 20 to 40 kg. Wikipedia
I live in a city of 400 000 people, which makes it the 11th largest city in Canada. Our newspaper does not print or update online on the weekend or on holidays. Our local tv station does not put out news programming on Holidays, It is now possible depending on how the Christmas holidays fall to have no local news or locally produced news in our city for a stretch of 3 or 4 days. And people wonder why fewer people are involved in what is going on locally in their city or town. Smaller cities within an hours drive of ours still get local news on holidays but the network that owns the stations in both cities has decided London does not need local news.
OT, but a big reason IMPO why we split into tribes. Since the NCLB law came into effect, HS across the nation have dropped Civics courses in favor of more Math & English and of course, time needed to “Teach the test” Think about that legacy from Bush 43

Where will we go now to learn about famous people and their peccadilloes?

As the dinosaurs found out, every so often, the world changes dramatically. Adapt or die.

So far in this election I think Wonder Woman and Captain America have a chance to win this election.
