5:00 Got up late today.  Been extra tired lately.  Don't know why.  Just old I guess.
  No plans for this week at all until Saturday evening.  Debbie and I will go to a community clam bake. We are looking forward to this traditional Autumn feast.  It was costly to say the least. $43 for each bake plus $12 for one chowder and $12 for an extra dozen clams.  So $110 for dinner for two.  I sure hope she likes it.
Looks like a nice week for weather around here.  I will ride my bike some.  I am back to doing things on my own as I have for the last few years.  Yesterday I took a ride to Valley City just to get a milkshake in a small restaurant on the main street. This place is called "The Chill and Grille" of Valley City, Ohio.  I like them, and want to do what I can to keep them in business.  The wait is never long here, and the food, especially the French fries, is good.
I know it is important to support these small family owned eateries.  Sadly, one of my other small town favorites in Berlin Heights, Ohio was out of business the last time I went there.  It was a nice little family place where school kids came after school to meet and read together. Now like so many others, it is gone. 
Well That is it for now.  Bye EV1 GBU and GB Ukraine.

BearStudy is still down. Dr. Rogers wrote an update, still waiting to post it. Here is an excerpt from it....
Tomorrow (Tuesday Oct. 3), Donna and I are going to Grand Rapids, Michigan to remember an old life-long buddy Donald Marshall Hulbert who was like a brother. He moved in next door when we were both six. We grew up together and never lost touch. He was a leader of the neighborhood, so we’ll probably see a lot of my old buddies at his funeral. He is the second of my three life-long buddies to pass on. We’ll also see family and my one remaining life-long buddy.
On the way back, we’ll join some friends to explore habitats and see wildlife in a big bear sanctuary they are creating in a big wilderness area.
Altogether, it could be a week of missing the bears we know. I hope the website is back up by then so we can write updates as usual.

  Desert Fountain ...  21+  lost it when I lost post this morning  8+ am.   /  83°  (1:27 pm) Sunny, clear and windy.

I hope all are well.

Hi Cal    I had no idea we had the 'Thugs' here.  I remember many decades ago when they introduced the huge California Condors to the Grand Canyon area because they were endangered in California.  I'd love to see one of those. 

Hi Joho     I think adjustment to seasonal weather changes, temps and all make us a bit tired for a while, as we do adjust.  Being older adds to it, but don't give up on going out and doing things. 

[calhound]

hi neva feeding my office cats mr kitty and sweetness petting them i would love to see one of your condors too. and see it flying low like scout does see its eyes that would be so cool.  looks like the thugs are all over i am happy i have never saw them around here.  i heard on the radio china taking back the big pandas at some zoo lease so to speak is up and no they are not renewing it and only one or two left and that lease is up next year and yes china taking them back too not renewing lease. i have watched panda cam over there and looks like they take really good care of them. how could you not love a panda well putin cant but he is not human weather does make us tired heat is tiring for me going in a cold bedroom and laying down covers and cali against me and cats all over and penny and brownie near by or on the bed too tv blaring away night last night cali she like dreams she is running and hits me in the back over and over on an off all night long penny got sick of it got off the bed but i rode it out. kitchen coyottees going at it looking for me i gotta go

7:03 too sleepy at 3 30 am. 
Went deer viewing last evening.  Saw a lot of them very close up to the car. Some are very tiny, but spots are gone.  Seems sad that so many are on their own now.  The mom's are going off with bucks for next years crop of babies.
 They are eating lots and lots of acorns.  There seems to be a real bumper crop of nuts around here right now, and mosquitoes too.  Can't leave the car window down for long.
Well will try to go back to sleep for a while.  Not much going on today, but I did tell Debbie I would take Odin fishing later.

RC, River, an Old Buddy, and a Trip - UPDATE October 2, 2023

Bears Donna with Greg and Mr. Marlys - photo by Carolyn Q.
RC and River stopped by when it was still light. River is 116 pounds now. It is currently 8:32 PM and dark with no bears. I suspect others will come overnight. In the driveway today, this deer calmly watched Paula snap a picture of him against a beautiful background of red maple leaves that are yellow.

Elsewhere in the community, Carolyn says 23-year-old Donna looks ready to call it a year, but her cubs won’t let her yet. That’s the situation we commonly see this time of year.

At the Bear Center, Sharon gave big bunches of leaves to each bear today so they can start lining their dens. She also posted good pictures of the three bears in her latest ‘Sharon’s Bear News’ https://bear.org/bear-news-september-30-2023/. Seeing that makes me thankful for the great, dedicated team we have at the Bear Center and here at the WRI and all that everyone does for bears, research, and education.

Thank you for all you do. See you again in a week or so. Whoops, its 8:52 PM, and the first of the night shift bears just arrived. I’m going to go say goodbye to him or her.

7:36 Cool and nice this morning.  May ride today.  Had a good day with Odin.  Will try to send texts with his proud catch on my phone.  He really liked going to the park with me.  He was leery of the taller geese he wanted to feed, but he seemed to get over the fear pretty well. He finally let them take the food from his hand.  He did pull his hand back pretty quick though.
 I did not get many pics with the geese and him.  He was too active climbing and hopping around. I wanted to show him my favorite picture of his Dad, Brian, feeding the geese in the same park years ago when Brian was Odin's age, but I can't find the pic.
Almost 9:30 here.  60 degrees and calm.  Need to go out soon just to ride around.
