Cal  Maybe your soreness is related to the surgery.  Why not ask your surgeon what he thinks.  Could be a clot.

Play, Kimani, Upstaging - UPDATE August 28, 2018
 Print  Email
On this day of watching bears meet, play, and vocalize, Kimani and her cubs again took the prize for creating the most excitement among participants in this last Black Bear Field Study Course of 2018. Kimanis cub by M. Roskoski

Participant Matt Roskoski took over 1,200 pictures just this evening. Two of his pictures are shown.

We squeezed in a couple of slide/video talks today, but Big Harry upstaged my presentation on bear vocalizations and body language. He was on the other side of the window just 6 feet from the speaker broadcasting the sounds. His first reaction was to his own courting vocalizations that I had recorded maybe a decade ago as he approached his mate June. Happy memories? As I played the sounds and told what they mean, everyone?s eyes were on Big Harry?s reactions. It was maybe the most entertaining presentation I ever made.Kimani by M. Roskoski

Good news is that Colleen finally appeared and has 3 cubs, one of them brown. Also, a trail cam recorded visits to a den by June?s daughter Ember (5) with a single cub. The cam showed them entering this den that has been used by mothers with cubs in the past, so it may be that Ember and her cub could select it this winter. Bears explore dens all summer and then select the den of choice. Ember is of special interest because she has only one cub. We are particularly documenting the survival of single cubs for perspective on the story of Lily and Hope. Plans are to start the book in October.

Another great group. Another great day.

Thank you for all you do.

Good morning everyone- wow am I late?!! Storms began early afternoon- amazing clouds and rain- we had with fierce winds- no problems here but power outages about 10 miles- total of 2inches. Thunder kept me and duke awake- I took him out to pee about 1:30 and it was still lightening and thundering just lightly raining. 64 degrees here- shut off ac and opened windows. All the humidity is gone too. Yay! I saw the sky- fed cats lyt tank wouldn't come in- rain and wind hit in a hurry. tank still outside- no sign of him. After the worst was over he came to the front window I can see from my chair. He was damp but not soaked- must have been under that porch.
jp- ty for the teddy and I couldn't see midnight either; Wednesday puppy is adorable.
cal- I agree with jp- you really need to see a doctor soon-today if possible- call the doctor who did your toes- he should be able to help you or get you an appointment with someone who can. I hope you got to see Roger play last night in his cranberry outfit! He really looked good and played super. Novak won too but it was a hard match. Both he and his opponent suffered in the heat- 94 and 50% humidity- very hot- even Roger sweated in his evening match. Madison Keys, Francis Tiafoe, Bernadette Pera, Taylor Townsend, Tenys Sandgren and Francesca DiLorenzo are the other Americans who won yesterday.  Sloan, Venus, Serena and Rafa play today. Rafa is the second night match after Serena.
blschue- ty for the video- much fun except for the guy who was feeding out his window- yikes!
Have a great day jewelies!

i got it started in 3:51

[ruesgram]

Cal, I wish you could see a doctor tomorrow! We have a couple urgent care or quick care centers here. No appointment needed there. Anything like that you could go to?  You worry me! Wish I lived near by so I could help you!

Jp, cool that you know the McCain family. I was wondering if you had met John McCain. I couldn't see either of Midnight's pics. I thought it was my laptop because I was having trouble seeing videos on Facebook, too.

Lupe, you really do like watching tennis!  I haven't been able to over winter mums for a longtime. They never come back in the spring.  So, I just put them in the 2 urns at the front porch and throw them away after the blooms are gone. I'll probably get a couple next week.

Storm is coming so I better go! Have a nice evening!

Hello to all.

cal, your describing your pain makes me wonder if There is not some emergency facility you  could go to.  Here we have an urgent  care clinic and there is always the emergency Room at the hospital.  I can't see how you  can wait until September 27.  I am praying for you but you  need help RiGHT NOW.

I am trying to figure out the problem with Midnight's picture.  Is this one visible?

Good morning everyone-thanks jp for the honey bear, Minnie and mini Minnie, the donut holes and cocoa. I see midnight this time.
cal- I hope you have a good visit in Kansas- good that jim will do your chores for you. I just saw our weather and after today the next 9 days is rain. 60 to 40% every day. I think we'll mow today- poor duke is so short his belly is in the grass now. hubby and I were sitting on the back porch yesterday and we were thinking we'd have to get duke a little periscope to use so he could see where he is going.lol I was thinking a flag on his tail so I could see where he is. I was out weeding a nasty patch of creeping Charlie by my asparagus when I realized I couldn't see duke. Went up to the porch and he is just sitting there saying here I am-just fine. Phew! Grass was wet and he doesn't like wet feet. Even tank waited on the porch.

Love your pics cal- I do like to watch tennis- never could before retiring- now I have the time- Sloane, Venus, Serena, John Isner, Sophia Kenin and Taylor Fritz from the USA all won yesterday. numbers of my favs are dwindling- only 5 matches are must see today. Roger Federer plays 2nd today as does Taylor Townsend- then Madison Keys plays another American Bernadette Pera; Francis Tiafoe from the USA plays 4th on court 17- he is really fun to watch. Then Novak-one of my favs- plays tonight- 6 PM- against Tenys Sandgren from the USA. Will be a good match- I hope.

rues- you must have gotten the storm we had on Tuesday- hhope no flooding for you. On the mum story- I do have a mum that is definitely a perennial but the colors are pastel- very pretty but when I think of mums and fall I think of deep reds- orange etc. I'll try to get a picture when it comes into bloom. Sedums just started blooming- tried to weed around there yesterday- many, many bees and butterflies.

Have a great day jewelies!
