Hi cal, I hope all's good with you. I hope your temps are lower and more comfortable for you and you are feeling good.
We are finally feeling better like ourselves again. Today is first day we can say that. Took 3 to 4 weeks.
Debby storms and high winds and heavy rains came through my area last night and today. We got dumped on. Clear skys now.

Hi johoward, I read at top of page you said about tornados. Debby was a nasty hurricane and storm afterwards.

Becky’s Family Minus One - UPDATE August 9, 2024

Becky
Bow’s 6-year-old daughter Becky let us see her 3 cubs well enough to determine that they are a male and two females, but we have yet to get an ID picture of the second female. For ID pictures, we try to get pictures that show their muzzle patterns, eyebrow patches, and other markings like chest blazes, scars, etc. None of Becky’s cubs have chest blazes even though Becky has a distinctive one. We’re looking for an opportunity to getting an ID picture of the second female and a family picture of them all together for comparison.

 Becky's female cub
Becky's female cub
 Becky's male cub
Becky's male cub
Bow, the 22-year-old grandmother of Becky’s litter had only one cub this year, which makes us wonder if this will be her last litter. We hope she makes it at least another two years to learn more about the age they have their final litters.

For 25-year-old RC, the great grandmother of this lineage, we’re watching to see if she will have another litter in 2025 after having a single male cub last year when she was 24.

We’re still trying to learn the sexes of Ursula’s two other cubs after getting a picture of one that is a male.

Thank you for all you do,

6:07 About avg for me.  I did get to spend some time with Karen last night.  She made me  some  real burgers with the works and some beets.  While she had a fake burger or veggie patty .  Then she asked if I would play some rummy.  She said she wanted to get even for some of my wins.  Well that did not go her way.  In four hands I was over 500 and she had less than 200 points. So we watched some Olympics. Debbie and Mary are getting home finally.  Debbie first then a day later Mary got the electric back on.  Only losses I have heard of is from Mary.  She lost her food from the refrigerator.  Her freezer food was still frozen, and she thought it was OK.
Browns play the Packer today in Cleveland at 4:25 PM.  Go Browns!

Hi cal, Good about your lower temps and that it helped your hand too. That long stretch of very high temps that covered all the states was way too oppressive for too long.
We got the initial covid shot then the booster too. We stopped after that. So no to having had the booster shot for the covid we just had. I don't think it matters because my daughter and her family, and my son and his wife all had the most recent covid shot and they still got it. In fact my husband and I caught the virus from them.

[calhound]

hi paulie your right not make any difference on getting another covid booster we did not just the one i spend most of my time at home but jim is out and he could of given it to me we practiced being careful.  i lost my cousin to covid when it first came out jim lost his best friend missy my friend lost her dad to it and so forth. i will go get my flu shot saw i wrote fly shot lol well i need one of those. walmart give me your fly shot yes long period of time with such crazy high temp and that humidity ty god for ac you be careful with that covid stuff paulie

[johoward]

6:10 Feels good.  Very nice out .  75 degrees not too windy.  What a change. Hard to stay in and watch the Olympics when it is this nice.  Yay for USA!!! Lots of close calls and still win.  Men and women. Yay!!!  Next Paralympics.
Did not see anyone yesterday, and probably not today.  I may go to outside concert in the county amp theater or maybe a beach concert in Vermilion on the lake.  Or not.  We will see.
I am well. Doctor says he is proud of us for living this long.  I gave him the credit.  He gives it back to me.  Now you guys, about this shot business.  My Debbie and my Mary are both in the medical field, and they do not give me any slack on shots.  They both make sure I know when and where any kind of immunization is avialable.  I then make sure to get them all. 
The last time was funny. Mary sent me for a shot.  I went to Drugmart near me for a covid shot.  Lady says none are due right now.  She sent me away.  I went to the next Drugmart down the road and they gave me the booster no questions asked.  Just go in that little room over there with that lovely young pharmacist lady.  That is another reason for me to go there.  It is a very pleasant experience for this lonely old man, and I stay well, and my family does not worry, and I will not get my friends and family sick, etc., and etc.  Why would you not go???  Yes, I hear some do still catch it a little, but they don't DIE!!!  So Do everyone around you a favor.  Get all the shots you can. Bye for now CUL EV1 GBU, Israel, Ukraine and all who are suffering.

6:04 About my avg again. Watery eyes are slowing me down today.  I guess I will have to call my eye Dr. again.  Eye drops are not making a difference.
Did not see anyone again yesterday.  Just hung out on the couch and watched the Olympics and Cape Fear.  Yikes!  I had forgotten how horrible this movie was.  I mean the bad guy hitched a long ride under the car like a flea or a tick on a dog's belly.  Yikes!
The Olympic coverage was good though.  Some real competition with the women's marathon amongst all the beautiful hype. Saw too much of Snoop for my taste.  It was like he owned the Olympics and showed up and did what ever he felt like doing for two weeks. Seemed too much to me.
  I liked that the Saturday Night Live cast was in charge of filling the time for us.  They all did a good job.  I am glad they are over.  I did not get anything done for two weeks.  I feel guilty for missing out on visits, shopping, cleaning,  and etc.
Even my posts on here were shorter and scant of info due to the Olympics.  Sorry.
I will see Odin John Nick and Karen today.  Maybe Bonnie too.  I have her Reese cup in the cupboard and will take it to her this morning. Debbie has an appointment at her dentist today.  So I will bring Odin home to Debbie's from preschool at 4PM precisely.  He is so adorable!  What a character. LOL
Karen is working this afternoon at the gift shop.  She will come over for some chili after work.  We will watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy after dinner.
Now I will cruise the web a little and get going. CULEV1 GBU, Israel, Ukraine, and those suffering.

Good Sightings, Good Times - UPDATE August 12, 2024

Snowball - M. Fitzpatrick
Today, Margaret Fitzpatrick took the best picture I’ve seen of 1 ½ -year-old Snowball. To do that, Margaret brought her cell phone here from New Zealand as a black bear field course participant and took this picture that dwarfs the pictures I’ve ever taken of Snowball with long Nikon lenses. Way to go Margaret!

As Margaret took the picture, Snowball’s 15-year-old grandmother Jewel rested nearby on the forest floor while her two female cubs Journey and Judy rested high in a white pine.

Yesterday, I got a call that Colleen was at a feeding site with her four female cubs. I rushed over. There she was with her distinctive notch in her right ear. 21-year-old Colleen is 24-year-old Donna’s first daughter born back in 2003. I didn’t take ID pictures of her cubs, though, because other cubs were in the same tree. Amazingly, Colleen and her family were one of 8 families present with a total of 23 cubs—the most families I’ve ever seen in one area. Instead I took ID pictures of an unknown mom to send to other feeders who might be able to identify her.

Good times and now with the bear course in progress, good sharing of unforgettable moments. The wild sarsaparilla crop is very poor, extending the lack of wild foods, and making me thankful that people in this nature-loving community are feeding the bears to keep them out of trouble. The ages of these bears is a testimony to the effectiveness of diversionary feeding in years like this.

Thank you for all you do,
