cal... That dog, Sass, sounds so cute!  Border collies are very smart... we used to have one.  Sweetest thing... but she liked to bark...  bark...  bark...  bark.  When they bark like that, you know they're not barking at something, they're just barking to bark.  lol

Hope the Royals win again... in 9 innings this time.  lol

ra, walk-off is the term used when a  game ends in the middle of an inning.  For example, the last of the ninth inning, game tied and the team at bat (always the home team) gets hits or runs to break the tie before the three outs.  The game ends right there and the other team has to walk off the field.

Thanks, JP!  You would have been a great teacher... you can explain things in a way that is understandable!!   Much appreciated!

Hi Jo!  Welcome to Jewels! Do you love the bears, too?

[jpalmken]

I pulled out that witch in 3:32!!

Where is my met's fan at? JP you ready for tonight's game?

It took me 5:05 to get that witch out.  I am  watching the game.  Still a pitcher's duel - no score.

Hey, Jewelies! So much raining and blowing today, I can no longer see the grass in the front yard because of all the leaves lying there, and yet I have a huge maple tree just now barely starting to change. I have about 15 trees in the front, mostly maple and a huge snowball bush. There used to be a swing set, but that was taken down many years ago. (my youngest is almost 41)  The other kids desperately wanted him to arrive on Halloween so they could name him Luke the Spook. He must have heard them, because he waited until Nov. Rues, that is so scary! I hope the police catch the guy. That happened to a teacher at my school. She left her purse in her car in front of the school. There are 2 huge windows in each room, 6 rooms, and yet, nobody saw or heard anything. Her car window was smashed, too. Ra, when you mentioned Mexican, I just had to fix myself a taco for supper. I use Kroger salsa. Cal, I can tell how excited you are about the game. Enjoy it with all your furry family tucked around you. Dlong, your pics. are the best!! Appreciate the time you take to find them and send them to us! Hi, bischue, nora, Willi , neva.  Jp, deb, pat, chippy!!!   The bed is toasty warm--I can never stay awake later than 10:00-10:30. Hi, jo!!!!

Hi obsver!  Have you got your snow shovel out yet?  lol  Better get those leaves taken care of...  Nite!

cal... How's the game going?

A Supreme Court Media Day - UPDATE October 28, 2015

Burt with a happy face on 6/29/15
Burt with a happy face on 6/29/15
Today the Supreme Court published a notice that they declined to review the legal point our attorney?s presented to them. Reporters called to see what that meant and how I feel about it. I don?t know legal lingo and mostly declined to comment. I gave them Attorney Dave Marshall?s phone number. For here, though, I can say it plain. The DNR tried very hard to create a case against my research claiming that I create public safety issues and don?t publish. Judge Tammy Pust saw through most of it and wrote many supportive words, but she felt she had to defer to the agency in charge when it came to giving or withdrawing permits.

She ruled against me as far as saying I had to have a permit to radio-collar bears. The issue on that point was the definition of possession. She went along with the DNR?s arguments on that even though I believed our attorneys made by far the winning argument on that.

Our attorneys then appealed the narrow legal point of possession to the Court of Appeals pro bono. The three judges there heard the case but also left intact without discussion the definition of possession.

Our attorneys did not want to leave it that the DNR could win cases by making up their own rules and definitions as they go and have the courts go along with them for lack of wanting to deal with technical legal issues. They again worked pro bono to appeal the narrow legal point of possession to the Minnesota Supreme Court, which today announced they didn?t want to deal with it either. So it is left that the powerful DNR can skew definitions to fit their purposes and get away with it.

That?s kind of what two top attorneys told me a couple years ago?that judges tend to go along with government, making it very hard to beat City Hall.

I?m heading home soon to see if Donna recorded local news broadcasts that are carrying the story.

Looking forward to seeing you at Mystic Lake Casino on the 7th.

The picture is a happy memory of this past summer when 10-year-old Burt showed up looking calm and happy to be here. He is a bear I picked up and touched noses with when he was a cub in 2005. He has always been one of the gentlest, calmest bears we know. But that?s here. I can?t remember anyone telling me they ever saw him in the woods.

Thank you for all you do.

Lily and her cubs.



I'm way behind this morning.  The Royals put it to the Mets and Johnny Cueto pitched a great game, only allowed 2 hits.  No game tonight for travel so I will catch up on missing sleep.

A big Welcome to you, Jo.

For all:

Good Morning Jewelies! it is 35 here.  Guess Dr. rogers found out you can't beat city hall..I didn't want him to collar those bears anymore unless he took them off way before hunting season so their fur could grow back..happy about having a den cam and he just has to put on in our jewel's den so we can check on her!

Hi JP!! Are you over sleeping after that great game last night!! Cueto was on his game for sure..me and sister saying before the game oh please johnny pitch a great game not a crummy one! yost said he pitches better at home but lots of games not at home..need to pitch really good at home and away. really wanted the royals to take these two games at home!



Hi Jo! We all here love animals very much!! Love these bears. Now Jo we gots lots of people that say how bad they are on the puzzles and they are not..puzzles here for fun and nothing else..if a cut i use too hard pick your own..me and JP we have fun posting our time it's what we do. Do you have a pet?

Hi Ra!! it was a great game ra!! exploded in the 5th inning. won 7-1..the mets pitcher De grom long hair dude is good and when he came out on the field i told sister there he is that de grom..the look on his face when royals getting all them hits and run!! took him out and they used 4 relief pitchers while cueto pitched the whole game..the whole game that is really big. saved our relief pitchers too. but now we go to ny but we keep playing like this..babe woke up at 12:30 am i didn't give her enough sedative..afraid to over do it and took me and hour and half to get her to go back to sleep. finally had to give her some more..i am really really tired..happy no game on tonight!!

Hi Obsver!! it was so windy yesterday here..cold this morning..jim set the furnace last night and i have to say felt pretty nice to come back from the barn this morning and be warm.  Got a few trees that lost their leaves but lots with the leaves still on them..the squirrels i feed everyday two little ones i saw them making a nest in one of my big trees over by the fence line! now they are just right over there..i was hoping they would..now they have food and water and be safe too..far away from the road. Hey you could use jim's big leave blower..the one he used to get the dust off of ca's clothes!

Hi Blschue!! sorry you got some snow already. i saw five turkey buzzards yesterday down the road here..i yelled sister look still five of them..they were down by the highway someone just had run over a raccoon there. no wonder bears hibernate..just sleep when it is so cold and snowy..sounds like a plan to me!
