6 minutes even to see this gentle looking goat.  I love goats! They are my favorites at the county fairs I go to.  They will often stick their heads out through the barriers to get a pat or a rub on the head.  I also like the way some will push up against the wire to get a full back rub.  They are just so friendly and affectionate.  Not "unruly" at all like some I hear about on Jewel who scare the daylights out of guests. LOL
 It sounds like there is a clear and present threat in that Akita.  Also, this is the first time I have heard that the stuck goat got out without you doing it.  About time I say.
 There was a time in our history I heard of when it was time to move if you could see the neighbors smoke. Not sure who said this.  May have been Davy Crockett or Daniel Boon.  Not a possibility anymore, but when to land was all forested it was I guess.  Where I live I don't see smoke, but I do hear sump pumps next door on left, and on the right front porch guitar practice (not bad).  Out front car doors slamming, lots of traffic sounds including Fed Express and UPS with sadly never anything for me, and out back the seemingly endless sounds of landscaping. 
  I think of moving every day, but won't. LOL I am here for life I think.
Nice out but cool and cloudy.  It has been very dry around here for a long time.  Very rare for November.
Browns will play today at 1 pm Eastern .  Against the hated Ravens.  We need help on offense. 
I think I better go reach out by texting to some friends and family now.  I wish you all a very comfortable November Sunday.  GBU, GB Isreael, and GB Ukraine

 Goat ...  22:02      80°   (2:49 pm)    Clear & sunny w/ slight breeze.

Cal      I'm with you and Joho, I love goats, they seem to have a lot of personality.  I wish I had one of those tiny Pygmy Goats.  I hear that the city will allow them within the city limits because they are so small.  Too late for me to do that now.  They are sooo cute!   That is a scary thought, their dog on your property.  Can't have that dog start thinking that your property is his property to guard.

Joho     Where does one look to find a guy who is just simply someone who is a trustworthy repairman. Someone like Billy.  I hate to call companies to do anything 'cause they often have an agenda, and will turn most any job into a bigger job.  I can't tell which ones are honest and which are not.  It is frustratiing.  If you didn't already know Billy, or someone like him, where would you look for someone trustworthy?

A Bear Visit Remembered - UPDATE November 12, 2023

Guy with chipmunk 7-20-23
A couple days ago, Lorie Kennedy sent a good memory of this past summer to local bear feeders. It was this picture of old Guy, a bear probably in his twenties (as indicated by his white hairs) sharing hazelnuts with a trusting chipmunk. While the chipmunk was stuffing its cheeks with hazelnuts from one end of their pile, Guy is calmly touching hazelnuts with his tongue, having them stick, and quickly pulling them into his mouth. It was the last day of a Black Bear Field Study Course, and several people were taking pictures. Lorie took the one shown here and told the story as below:

;
The Stars Of The Summer Of 2023—Guy and Alvin

Guy ambled to the WRI on the first day—actually within the first hours of filming a French Canadian TV program after not visiting the WRI for over 3 weeks. He calmly walked up onto the deck, sat down, and ate hazelnuts next to Lynn while he was being interviewed. After filling up o hazelnuts, Guy walked down to the beaver pond for a bath; all captured on film. Was his appearance a coincidence….or did our Guy just want to show the world how awesome bears are?

Alvin the chipmunk learned that red and green coffee cans carried a priceless commodity—hazelnuts! He continuously jumped on our legs, shoulders, and laps to receive and stash 9 hazelnuts per trip—yes, 9 is the max in his mouth. (Sorry, he does not take ½ hazelnuts. We can only assume it’s about efficiency and fit).

Thank you everyone for another successful bear season! We would not be able to sustain this amazing educational opportunity and feed the clan and their friends without you! We sincerely appreciate every one of you!

Thank you so very much!
Shadow’s Clan and Friends

I might add how thankful I, too, am for this wildlife-loving community that for over 60 years has kept bears out of trouble with diversionary food to bears and became known for its peaceful coexistence and lack of bear problems—a result that is so contrary to the usual beliefs about "A fed bear is a dead bear." This community and its surroundings hold some of the oldest black bears in Minnesota, including the second oldest black bear on record at 35. Guy is an example. He has never created a problem. Guy is a trusted favorite who is also trusted by this chipmunk.

Thank you, Lorie, and thank you all for all you do.

6:23  Elephants.  Been chatting with Lor-e and other bear chatters this morning.  I think they were in Florida.  I know at least two were.  Lor-e and Becky.  Was nice to talk to them.  Lor is getting a new knee on Nov 27th.  I told her how much better off I am with my new knee.  Like a new person.  I can do almost anything, and go almost anywhere.  She needs both done, but can only get one for now.  Too bad.  For me the after surgery pain was much less debilitating than the worn out knee pain.  So both at once would be easier for me than one then another later.  The worn out knee makes it harder and less effective rehabbing the knew knee.
Well, I am not her doctor.  So I will pray for her comfort and rapid healing.
I also pray for you all to have a comfortable and happy Monday wherever you are.
It is nice here by Lake Erie.  It is 41 degrees and bright at 8:24.
Bye for now GBU EV1 GB Israel, and Ukraine too.

Hi again EV1. Got to see Debbie and Bash. Took her some of my special chili.  Which you know is made with French's Chili-O.  Also got her some cheddar popcorn from Jennie's.  Got some for neighbor Lorrie too, because she gives me lots of good leftovers.  I think she likes it, but not really sure.  There was a time she told me not bring something, but I don't recall what it was.
Sure is a beautiful day here.  60 degrees and sunny.  Just great.  I should be out and about right now, but I don't have anyone to take a ride with me.  Poor me. LOL
So I will just check up on all my animal cams and balance the bank books.  I may also review my Medicare Supplement plans.  Got a letter saying if any one of seven things have changed since last year I need a review.  All seven changed for me.
Well I called them three times.  Got cut off twice.  Then on the third try I was put on hold for like, I think, 60 minutes.  So I hung up.  I will try to do the review myself on the net.
Bye for now EV1 GBU, Israel, and Ukraine.

hi neva i saw on our news travis kelce went with  taylor swift to her argentina concert he was with her dad and she change the lyric to her song that included him he was really surprised and happy.  after her show pictures show she ran into his arms and gave him a kiss. she likes the both have their own careers and goal and still be with each other. other day on the news said iceland having lots of quakes

A volcano is southwest Iceland is expected to erupt in the next few days, the Icelandic Meteorological Office has warned.

Hundreds of small earthquakes have been rattling the Reykjanes Peninsula in southwestern Iceland over the past few days — an early warning sign of a looming volcanic eruption. About 900 earthquakes have been detected so far since midnight on Monday. A day earlier, more than a thousand quakes — all below a 3 magnitude — were recorded.
The Icelandic Meteorological Office estimated magma, also known as molten rock, to be about 800 meters or half a mile from the surface as of Saturday. The office added that it was likely to reach the surface soon.

On Friday, Iceland's Civil Protection Agency declared a state of emergency as a preventive measure, and ordered the evacuation of Grindavik, a coastal town of over 3,300 residents.

Officials did not say when residents will be able to return, but over the past few days, they have been allowed to briefly visit certain neighborhoods in order to pick up their belongings.

In response to the threat of a volcanic eruption, the Blue Lagoon, a man-made geothermal pool and popular tourist destination near Grindavik, also announced Thursday it will temporarily closed its doors until Nov. 16, "at which point the situation will be reassessed."

Volcano Erupts In Southwestern Iceland After Thousands Of Earthquakes
Volcanoes are a major feature of Iceland's geography. The country is home to 32 volcanic systems. Most recently, a volcano linked with the Litli-Hrútur mountain erupted in July and lasted about a month. It was the third eruption on the Reykjanes Peninsula in three consecutive years. Prior to 2021, the peninsula did not see an eruption in over 800 years.

Among the biggest and most disruptive eruptions to occur in the country was in 2010, when volcanic activity in southern Iceland spread ash across Europe's atmosphere and disrupted air travel in the continent for several days.

6:15 Finally done for this morning.  Neva, Lorrie did text "thanks" for the popcorn that I left on her porch with her empty dish.  So I guess that was not it.
 Been trying to get computer started for about an hour. Kept getting a "no internet" statement.  Finally called Spectrum.  Of course they always say the same thing.  No outage in your area. Well there is at least one outage right at my house.  So after a while they say we will send you a pulse or something then wait ten minutes and call back again if no internet persists.  By now I am in a bad mood and cruising my cams is not  as fun as I usually have.
After a while though and reading your posts and checking emails I feel a little calmer.  By the time I get done with the puzzle I am OK, and can write to you without using all CAPS! LOL
It is a bright warm Tuesday here, and I will take a ride into the country to visit an Amish friend and to have lunch at The Hungry Bear in Litchfield, Ohio.
I may stop at Letha House Park to walk and maybe fish a little since it is so nice out.  I asked three to ride along, but all were "too busy" today.  One was sincere due to an old friends birthday today.  I will see this one for pizza later.  She asked me to bring a pie dish so she can send an apple pie home with me tomorrow.  The dish is on the counter near my keys.  So I will go on my own as I did for two years.
Now I will get cleaned up and out the door.  Bye my friends CUL.  GBU, Israel, and Ukraine.

 Tulip Square ...  24:23     82°   (2:27 pm)    started out overcast, but clearing now. Very slight breeze.  We're supposed to have a chance for rain  Thurs - Sat.  We'll see.

I hope all is well for all of you.

HI Cal     I saw a report on the news about the earthquakes and volcanos in Iceland, and I can imagine how scary it must be for the people in that area.  It almost looked like one of the volcanos was right next to the town that they were showing.  Iceland is a small place, full of volcanos, where do you go to get away from it.  ... I think I would go to Denmark.

Hi Joho     How lucky, you have a friend that thinks you are worth making an apple pie for.  😊
