Mother and Daughter, a new sight, and Good News - UPDATE May 16, 2024

Snowball

Snowball gave a nice look at her distinctive face with brown patches going up onto her forehead as she rested in a white pine. Her mother Andrea showed her own smaller patches so we’d know where Snowball got hers.

A new sight, is a turkey vulture landing just outside my desk window while a herring gull stood still calmly watching. Turkey vultures weigh about 4 pounds and Herring gulls about 2 ½ pounds, but it took more than a turkey vulture coming on with its wings spread to scare this gull. The turkey vulture also gave a view up on a branch near the window and a face-on picture with its dark body framing its colorful head.

Good news is progress on the feature documentary movie BEARWALKER being made by award-winning film-makers Oak Island Films and Merit Motion Pictures. It’s a film we all want to do, bears a lot of good by having it show the new view they’ve revealed bit by bit throughout my 50 years of research. The movie will be an update of the Bearwalker documentary playing in the Bear Center and that we will eventually replace with the upgrade. They are looking for high definition video if anyone might have captured something of interest. They are looking for video to carry on the message the bears have been showing us over the decades. Anyone interested in helping fund this project can learn more by contacting Judy Thon at [email protected] . The film-makers are coming to Ely in a couple weeks. If you’d like to meet them, get in touch with Judy Thon.

I know what these producers are capable of from what they’ve each done over the years. I’m looking forward to what they can now do together.

Thank you to Ted Oakes and Peter Lown and thank you all for all you do.

6:14 Cloudy and wet this morning.  Rained some in the night I guess, but streets are about 40% dry now.
Karen brought over some veggie stuffed red sweet peppers for dinner.  We played a game of rummy, and I won.  She says I win whenever we play cards at my house.  She may be right.  I don't keep track.
Not sure what I will do today.  I am out of bread, and do not see the usual sales for my favorite.  I do see some other good looking sales for things I don't need, but could use at Fligner's in Lorain.  I may go there, and on the way stop in for a Greek Salad or maybe some baklava and a gyro.  It is also in Lorain and starts at 11 am.  It is an annual church fund raiser.  Very popular, and well organized.  It is drive through only, and has a long serpentine line of cars with runners taking orders from the drivers.
There is one prescription waiting at Drugmart.  So that may be my first stop. 
Now I will get started.  Bye for now.  GBU, Israel, Ukraine, and all who are sufferring today.
