Thanks Cal,
 Sounds like you have turned the corner. Thank God.

5:26  Beautiful day here today. I already rode for about 6 miles.  Will probably go again. I am having trouble adjusting for getting up so early.  It has been almost six hours since I ate my cereal.  My stomach thinks it is lunch time, but the clocks all say no, too early for lunch. LOL
Heard from Mary on Messenger.  She slept in a while after yesterday's exertions, but says she feels great and looking forward to seeing her friend group today at her home.  She has a wonderful covered patio and yard which takes a lot of her energy.  I will see her tomorrow for sure and I am glad.  Hope I can sleep in just a little tomorrow.
Cal it sounds like your temps are trying to catch up to Neva's.  It is only 75 right now over here by beautiful Lake Erie.  I sometimes think this the "best location in the nation" as they say on the news casts.
Well I give up.  I am just going to have some lunch right now.  Hold on stomach! Sandwich is on the way!
It was a real treat seeing Tasha.  I look forward to seeing a lot more of our bears soon.

  Father's Day ...  23:31      100°  (2:20 pm)    Sunny w/ gauzy clouds, and windy.

I hope your day is moving in the right direction, so far ... 

Cal    I'm glad to hear that you're feeling better.  I don't know, but was wondering if there are still smoke particles in the air from the Canadian fires, that have made their way down to you?  Maybe that had something to do with your breathing difficulties.  You could get an air purifier for your room so that at least while you are sleeping, things would be better.  Just a thought.

Joho    Maybe a piece of fruit would hold you between breakfast and lunch... like an apple, Nectarine, banana or something.  Of course, there was nothing wrong with moving lunch up a bit either.  Speaking of lunch, I guess I had better go get something, I haven't had breakfast yet.  breakfast/lunch, or would that be brunch?  lol!

Tasha - UPDATE June 20, 2023

Tasha in her new pen
I’m not sure who took this, but it is such professional quality that I had to pass it on. It’s Tasha in her new pen waiting for all the construction to get over so she can explore the big enclosure again. Good job, whoever took it. Thank you.

Thank you for all you do,

7:32 Hard for me this morning.  I kept think about meeting Mary and going for a nice relaxing, I hope, ride in the country for her.  She has been going through a couple of hectic days entertaining others.
I did have a nice ride already.  Saw about 6 or 7 neighbors walking the trail around our community.  Saw one lady on a cute smaller girlie bike with a helmet that matched her little bike.  She looked fairly stable.  A lot of elderly riders do not look stable.  There is often quite a bit of wobbling back and forth.  Especially at low speeds.  Well was nice out and fairly warm.  I wore only a pocket t shirt and shorts.
Nom again I will say CUL EV1 GBU and GB Ukraine

  Palm Nut Vulture ...  17:44     100°  (3:32 pm)  Partly cloudy and windy. 

I hope that all is well with all of you.

Hi Cal  ...   My daughter was wondering if perhaps the owner of that sub tried to get too close to the Titanic, like trying to fit onto one of the open decks.  I think it'd be pretty easy to get hung up if he did that.  The next time anyone goes down there to check on the ship, they may find that they did just that.  It is so sad.  Everyone has been trying to find them, but finding them is not getting them up.  I hope people learn something from this. 

Hi  Joho ...

Help From All Directions - UPDATE June 22, 2023

Lucky by Nick Angus
Throughout my career, I’ve often felt overwhelmed with thankfulness when people saw needs and stepped up to help the mission in more ways than I can count. Steps to dockThat’s what made the North American Bear Center. It’s what made the den cams happen. It’s what made the speakers’ bureau to spread the message. It’s what’s kept my work going longer than any bear study ever. It’s what enabled us to identify so many bears and keep the birth and survival records of Shadow’s Clan building for some 28 years now. And so much more. 20230622 Steps to dock 2The last few days, especially today, reminded me of that as well as the 15 or more people who saw how they could help stepped up. They added an electric mini-boat to the mix, built a railing to get down to it, made the dock like new, set up a shed to have life jackets by the boat and canoes, ordered and organized food for the bears, added a fan over the table where we will all be eating during the courses, got the van cleaned and ready, got the pontoon boat ready, filled potholes in the driveway, crawled under the WRI to make sure there were no mouse holes, mowed the viewing area, saw the need for a newer computer for lectures, installed a new fancy faucet for the kitchen sink, got outdoor picnic tables ready for use, made a new coffee corner, and are looking forward to the excitement of the courses. I know there is much more I can’t recall, with so many people helping that I don’t dare mention names for fear of missing someone—like the people who ordered and organized new merchandize on the shelves and the new cook who will be helping JM, etc.

However, I have to mention the name of the new photographer at the Bear Center whose work I’m including in this update. It is Nick Angus, one of the new Bear Center interns. He just happened to be a Photography/Animal Behavior Major at Carroll University who is using his talent to take great pictures of the ambassador bears. In this update, he took the pictures of Lucky, Holly, and Tasha. Thank you, Nick.

I had to take the duck picture to prove that we took the pontoon boat out for the first test run of the year, which it passed.

A big thank you to everyone who made all this happen.

And thank you all for all you do.

hi joho sounds like you will have a really good time when you go up for the bear course. lots making that happen.

hi neva well by now i am sure you too have heard on that little sub saw it on the world news so i will say that they said they died just like that so that is a good thing instead of that running out of air trapped in there all them days. may never find any of the bodies they said. what a shame but like you i hope others learned from this. yes i could see all kinds of things down there to get hung up in your daughter right on that. make sense it blew up and of course lose contact. what was the noise they heard later like someone banging on it.

Democratic presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. suggested Wednesday that Russia has been “acting in good faith” in various efforts to end the war in Ukraine and placed blame on the U.S. for the 16-monthlong conflict.
Kennedy said in an interview on SiriusXM’s “The Briefing with Steve Scully” that Russian President Vladimir Putin has “repeatedly said yes” to negotiations.

“In fact, he negotiated, two times he agreed to agreements,” Kennedy said. “He agreed to the Minsk Accord, and then he agreed in 2022 to an agreement that would’ve left Ukraine completely intact.”
The Minsk agreements were two separate international agreements in 2014 and 2015 that sought to end fighting in the Donbas region of Ukraine. Fighting never ended entirely, and Putin claimed that the agreements did “not exist” shortly before launching his full-scale invasion of Ukraine last February.
It’s not immediately clear what 2022 agreement Kennedy is referring to. However, the long-shot Democratic candidate accused the U.S. of tanking the negotiations in Wednesday’s interview.

“It was us who forced [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelensky to sabotage that agreement. It was already signed,” Kennedy claimed. “So, you know, the Russians were acting in good faith. … So, no, I think we’re the ones who have not been acting in good faith.”
Kennedy has previously criticized America’s involvement in the war in Ukraine, suggesting at an event in New Hampshire on Tuesday that the conflict is the “creation of a relentless mentality of foreign domination” on the part of the U.S.
“I abhor Russia’s brutal and bloody invasion of that nation,” Kennedy said, according to ABC News. “But we must understand that our government has also contributed to its circumstances through repeated deliberate provocations of Russia going back to the 1990s.”

  Ship Mast ...  22:56     91°  (10:59 pm)   Sunny, no wind yet.  It's supposed to reach 101° today.

Cal     Yes, you are right, at least it was fast.  I heard some kind of an expert say that one possibility is that this is a case of
'metal fatigue'.  After two other previous, successful trips down there, under all that pressure, the metal wasn't up to this third exposure to it.  That sounds possible.  The expert added that this sub had not been cleared for that deep of a dive anyway.

Just my opinion, but I think that Kennedy that was quoted is one egg short of a dozen anyway, and has his father and two uncles rolling in their graves.


Joho     I hope all is well.

hi you guys its humid here up in the 90's today 56 raining in ice and 79 raining in kviv jim went to the barn real early with me i had lots to carry and he saw all the raccoonies i told him as soon as you open the side door raccoonies will be there they were and he saw little raccoonies and we saw one of howlers kittens in the barn back by a hay tunnel but raccoonies ran it off. soon i will see if i can feed those 3 kittens in there and i am pretty sure i can get howler in a carrier i need to talk to neighbor that runs cat rescue need to get mom fixed so no more kittens kittens will be hard to get might have to use a live trap. why does this happen to me.

hi neva i saw a video showing what that sub collapsing would look like said be so fast that the brain would not even have time to think on it and it was  fast too just like that once it collapse that was it. yes metal fatigue how crazy to not even have that cleared for that dep of a dive. i read that kid was afraid to go but did not want to disappoint his dad.  people leave the titanic be. just let it be. i thought the same thing on that kennedy his father and two uncles rolling in the graves! i saw on cnn real early in the morning putin on talking about revenge well this Russia-Ukraine war live: Putin says Wagner rebellion a ‘betrayal’

Russian President Vladimir Putin says an “armed mutiny” by the Wagner Group is treason, adding that “decisive action” will be taken against them.
The authorities in Moscow and the surrounding area say they have declared a “counterterrorism” state of emergency after Wagner boss Yevgeny Prigozhin claimed his forces were in control of military sites in Rostov that wagner boss said putin attacked his men he is taking over some russia places and military he is after putin. many people who live in russia after putin too. pres zen said things are happening now. i hope so i really hope so after all this time that someone may get putin. wake up the russian people. not let putin keep hiding his stuff.
