hi you guys its 50 clear i stayed up alot later than i usually do royals game was on tv and so was the chiefs so flipping back and forth but that gets hard. both teams won but i fell asleep woke up saw they both won.  i went to the weather channel got a drink let the dogs out back in and went to sleep.

hi joho they use to rake leaves closer for those bears. maybe they will i would not want to sleep on hard rock lucky needs a better bed not like he is a wild bear and anything old thing will do.  good karen is better. does she work close to her home? i would not ignore a check engine light just saying it would worry me and being handicap sure would not drive on my highways to town long ways to stuff here. our friends that live in port of lucie florida told jim that they could not get state farm to insure their home state farm dropping people there said if you want to live there you will have to rebuild your home yourself yes costly hurricane over and over and getting worse  people  dont want to put up winter cold snow oh boo hoo at least you still got your home i sure do wish milton would just go away.  i saw on the world news that trump spreading lies about fema not helping out of money blah blah even some republicans are saying that is not true

Fema chief warns ‘dangerous’ Trump falsehoods hampering Helene response
Misinformation spread by Trump, his supporters and others about the hurricane has shrouded recovery efforts

4:56 Yikes Fall is here.  Had to put quilt on bed last night.  Now got on shorts
, but also long sleeve warm flannel shirt.  I love it.  Irrigation is no longer needed.  Have to find some- one to blow air through underground pipes for the winter.  Don't remember who did this in the past. Karen had a hard time bringing home the bacon last night.  She drives about 15 miles.  The sun was blinding her all the way home.  She had a near miss turning left across traffic.  I am afraid she will get hit.  It was very hard driving west at that hour of sunset.  I only went a short distance, but was blinded most of the way.  I had to hold my hand in front of my face to see anything.  Traffic lights wre especially hard to see, because they are exactly backed by the sun.
I will pray for her safety tomorrow when she comes home from work.
Cal I see on the news that The Quarter Horse Congress is in process in Columbus Ohio.  I am not familiar, but I hear it is fifty years old, and a very big thing.  It goes on for a month.  One man said he has earned over 6 million dollars competing here.  Very interesting.  Odd I did not know much about it until now. They said they expect 500,000 participants, and I think many millions in area fiscal benefits.  I don't know how many horses are expected, but it is a lot.
Well, I see I have some bills to pay now.  So CUL EV1 GBU, Israel, Ukraine, and all who are suffering.

hi you guys its 49 here clear my cousin is okay from hurricane milton i dont know about rick and kerry yet a tornado hit by where they live said one person died. i watched the weather channel last night and early this morning when it hit last night gov ron desantis was angry at the person who left their dog to a fence before milton was to hit said dog was crying and barking i was so angry thank you troopers for rescuing that dog gov said dog taken to a vet was checked out is okay will coming up for adoption and looking for who did that he said florida will not put up with that. 

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) vowed Wednesday to punish Floridians who leave dogs tied up amid hurricanes, as the threat of Hurricane Milton looms over the state’s west coast.

“It is cruel for anyone to leave a dog tied to a post in the middle of an oncoming storm. FL will hold anyone who mistreats pets accountable,” DeSantis wrote on the social platform X, responding to a post from Florida Highway Patrol’s Troop C.

The patrol troop — which is based in the Tampa, Fla., area — shared a video, explaining that they rescued a dog that had been tied to a pole on I-75.

The governor replied, “Thank you, @FHPTampa.

5:42  I am here cal.  Very cool out today.  I think only 46 when I got up.  Blankets woke me up sweating in the night.  They work too good. LOL
Spent the day giving Karen a ride to and from work.  She has a lot of trouble driving into the setting sun in the evening, because of her vision. We went to Arby's on our way home.  I had a gift card that I wanted to use up.  She did not want any of their food.  So the waitress made her a veggie sandwich on a wrap.  It was large and impressive. I had one of their new big burgers.  It was large, but not cooked enough.  So not impressive.  We shared some curly fries and some mozzarella sticks. Later, while playing rummy we ate a whole bag of very crunchy kettle chips from Trader Joe's.  My mouth is wounded.
Well now today is not much planned here.  Nice day so maybe I will ride my bike a little.
GBU EV1, and all those who are suffering.  Especially in Florida.

5:46 Cool and clear again.  So boring here. I guess I will go get gas.  Just for something to do. 
Debbie and I were to go vote at noon, but she has to take care of Bash for Mary to to go take Cal for his 4 month check up.  I am trying to pick a time that suits Debbie.  So far no good.
  Maybe I will just go ahead and she can make her own schedule. If I don't hear from her soon I will just go get in line.  I need to go that way anyhow for gas at Sam's Club.
Cams are in Winter mode.  Birds are all grown and migrated.  Bears are denning up.  Mississippi River cams are about the only activity I can find.  Lots of pelicans, geese, and ducks are ducking the eagles.  Ice and snow are coming soon.
I will say CUL EV1.  GBU, Israel, Ukraine, and God Bless America.  GO KAMALA!!!!

hi joho i went to town bank then drove to get gas lady i had not seen in awhile was working abby so nice to see her she insisted on pumping my gas saw i had a hard time in pain we saw a man riding his motorcycle no helment and a radio on it. turned up loud abby said her son in his motorcycle accident in 15 in ku hospital burn unit burned by skidding on road his skin she said if he had not had on helmet and a steel plate back pack she would not have a son. someday winter will come and not many will be riding motorcycles if so probably have a helment on boots gloves our local news said lots on our voting ballot plan to spend 30 minutes or more i make sure to know whats on it study it then vote get in get out but lots wont so it slows the process we go at six am when polls open last time worker was late held it up jim was not happy if she is again he will report her he said i miss old voting place i dont like new one at all.

Debbie has got me going to early voting at the county board of elections.  I like it.  We rescheduled from this Friday to next Friday, because Mary is off on Fridays.  This usually gives Debbie a day off too.
It was very difficult for me to determine the different days and hours that we can vote at the board.  She found a chart , and sent it too me.  I could not make it out.  I then googled it for the fifth time and then could see it.  It was still confusing for me. There were six or seven different colored days of the month.  Each color called for a different set of hours to vote.  Some were even on two Sundays were we could vote from 1PM until 4 PM.  Who knew?
Well it is hard to schedule because of the variety of day and hours, but I like voting early with her.  We have done it for several years now.  It is kind of our thing since I don't have Joan to go with.
Bye for now.  We will look forward to maybe playing your Royals next year in the Series.

Confessing an Error - UPDATE October 11, 2024

Wolf & pup
 Wolf & pup    Wolf and pup
When I saw the young wolf alone, I thought it was too small to be a wolf at this time of the year and called it a coyote even though I was a little confused by its ears being wider apart than I would expect for a coyote and the legs seemed a little too long. But then "Eyes of the Night" snapped pictures that I believe showed me to be wrong in saying coyote. The wolf pup turned out to be part of a group as she proved with picture. It is hard to get good pictures when low light makes slow shutter speeds and any movement a blur. But "Eyes" didn’t worry about that, she was just trying to compare sizes and capture interactions. Seeing the pictures made me believe the little wolf is a slow-growing pup in a pack. An adult joined the pup and both acted like they are family.

But then, so I would be too confident, the larger wolf acted like it was comfortable with a good-sized bear, too, as long as the bear looked relaxed and non-aggressive.

Wolf pup

A couple days later, the pup appeared in noon-time sunshine for pictures that made it look even more wolfish in the face and long legs, and I knew I had to confess my error.

On the other hand, I know wolf experts that have trouble distinguishing wolves from coyotes, so if any of you see something that can prove me wrong, let me know, and we can continue the mystery as the pup hopefully grows up in the area and other adults show their faces to round out a pack. But for now, I feel comfortable saying wolf based on "Eyes’" pictures

If I’m right, this pup was born in April or May and is now about five months old. Litter sizes are about 4-7. Could this one be from a larger than average litter with less milk per pup? There are always many explanations to consider in the wild. It will be fun to watch this pup grow if it stays in the area.

Thank you for all you do,

hi you guys its 61 here clear yesterday weatherman said we had not had rain in last 17 days and no rain for at least next 7 days. and yesterday it was 90 hot humid and he said we only had 5 days of it being that hot ever and tomorrow   today will set another record then cool down sunday but next week like thursday i think back up to hotter summer just dont want to move out. at least no rain so not having to mow all the time. our ponds still doing okay for the wildlife and i put out water every day and night all over.  update pics good eyes on it. coyotees and wolf look alot alike. nice to see getting along just fine with the bears.

hi joho i still need to prepare for my voting next month jim will just copy me i wish he would at least look at the ballot before we go. its easier for him to just look at mine but he should do his own voting. mine time will be easy i vote the day of the election and our polls are open at 6 am close at 7pm if you are in line when polls close you still get to vote. since i am rural i have not had really long lines but may this time as lots to vote for. people not prepare will be sitting in there voting for awhile. or some may just hurry up and vote. they may have to go to work but still should look at it before hand. good to go early i do. i hope royals will be back next season and yes playing your indians bobby witt is up for award i saw awhile ago on local news. they sure did play well i thought. so are the chiefs  go indians! always be the indians to me my tvs scout and them flying the skies yesterday saw 7 when i sit out on the dogs deck i look up and they were far up but i knew they would see me and brownie and they did they fly in real low brownie be barking at them
