Back to bears... no pictures...

The early part of my life, 0-3 y/o, we lived in the Berkshire mountains in lower Massachusetts. At a very early age I learned about bears as we would often have visits. Even remember playing on my swing set singing about bears stepping on nails and thorns because I was so scared of them.

The story goes, when I was first walking and talking there was a knock at the door and I opened it to see the first black man I ever remembered seeing! I slammed the door in his face and screamed in horror to my mom that there was a bear at the door!

He was a good friend of the family, who had just come back from college. He played college baseball, was offered a position in the majors but wanted to teach instead.

Later he became my baseball coach and taught me how to knock them out of the park!

As big of a pain in the ass this winter has been, I have to say Minneapolis and our suburbs know how to handle snow.
Can't say that about many other major cities.
Another 12" on the way Sat.

This was our springtime treat last Apr 16. A nice dumping of 19". The way things are going this year, won't be surprised if there's a repeat.

We don't always get snow in May, but this was 2017:

Bald Eagles are pretty common across most of North America. We see them occasionally on our South Alabama Farm.

Used to see Bald Eagles when I drive through Morgan City, La on US90. See them now around Lake Grapevine, Tx.

Took this one a few years ago up in the MN boundary waters. There was a nest nearby, and momma bird was not too pleased where we were camping.

I used to live in Anchorage, Alaska and had the chance to go to Kodiak. I was stuck at the South Western end of the island due to weather and took a hike to a fish weir to kill time. A fish weir prevents fish from going upstream and has small doors in it. The Ranger opens the doors in the morning, sits on the weir and counts the number of salmon that swim through. Only after a certain number of salmon have been counted, do they open the salmon fishing season. That way, they ensure enough fish have made it upstream to spawn. This Grizzly figured out that when the weir was closed, the fish were stuck below it and made fishing easy.

Can’t hear the words “bear” and “Alaska” without thinking of the video this meme came from

Tesla did win. He just didn't get paid for it. He sold his AC patents to George Westinghouse for a tiny fraction of their value.

Another 6" of heavy snow overnight, and winter isn't done here yet. Those pics of Maui are really tempting me...

Mid Michigan is bracing for a heat wave! Most welcome it until they need a new sump pump! That’s when I welcome it!
