My neighbor across the street was sharing footage this morning of two bears foraging out front around 1AM. It's the time of year when they come into town for the apples. :)

A local a few blocks away got a photo of a sow and three cubs a few nights ago...

And this bold one that was out in daylight got tagged and relocated Monday...

I don't know what I would do if I opened up my front door and saw that. As it is, one time I opened the door and a potbelly pig and her baby were standing there looking at me. I tried to shoo them off and they chased me around the property. It was quite funny.

:LOL:

 

That's hilarious!

Got More technology today. Finally replaced my ten year old Samsung cell phone, now I have an A 10e samsung. When I saw that the NOTE samsungs were almost a GRAND, wow....also got a new iPad, 7th generation, but I haven't been able to get it set up. I'm taking it back, and telling THEM to set it up.

At least half of the people I know over 40 who studied cursive back in school can’t write for shit today. Not even print. They usually don’t hand write anything anyway.

 

Perhaps they should go back to school and improve their handwriting. ;) ;)

 

But seriously, the infrequency of usage is irrelevant, IMO. People should still be able to write well for when the need arises.

 

Is knowing how to write a skill you can lose once you've learned it though? There's been times in my life where I didn't have to write anything outside of signing my name on a time slip for work and I could still write when the need arose.

Yes, my A 10e is equivalent to my previous phone, and not ANYWERE NEAR the cost of the NOTE style Samsung phones, it was under $100. But in the last 10 years, it has gained a bunch of features!

I actually got on a step stool and vacuumed the dust off the ceiling fan in my bedroom.

 

There was a LOT of dust ..... :laughing guy:

Okay, so this is all after an episode of severe disappointment- my son was in a marching band competition at Ohio Stadium in front of about 20,000 people last Saturday night, and right at the very beginning of their set, he dislocated his kneecap and sprained his MCL...but he kept going, through the whole ten or eleven minutes that their show lasted, playing, marching, limping the whole way through. But he was in no shape to travel back home with the band on the buses, so I brought him home in the car (about an hour and a half drive), and straight to the hospital...I took him to an orthopedist on Monday, which is when we found out specifically what happened, what the injury was- there will be weeks of physical therapy, and he’s getting an MRI done today. It would appear that his marching season is pretty much over.

 

HOWEVER- at this stage, five days after the incident, his progress has been swift; better than anyone could have expected up to this point. He saw a physical therapist yesterday, who said if the MRI comes back with encouraging results, he may actually be able to march again before the season is out. State finals are the first weekend in November, and while I’m not pushing for him to be ready for anything if he’s just not physically ready- I know he wants to be back out there again; I know he’s extremely disappointed right now.

 

Tomorrow they are going to another competition, at Vanderbilt University, and he is not able to participate. But he was cleared for the bus ride to Nashville with all of his bandmates (it’s about 5-6 hours one way), and I’ll be driving down separately and bringing him home.

 

I’m just thrilled that he’s going to be there with them, and I’m glad that he’s emotionally ready to do it. He is usually a very affable type of person, but his frustration and disappointment have really been doing a number on him, in addition to the pain of just getting around. But he has decided to go, just to be there with all of his bandmates. And I’m so excited to be able to be there with him, too.

 

We are supremely hopeful that another four weeks from now, he’ll be ready to compete in the state finals and end the season on a very high note.

He will soon forget about this bad ordeal once he goes to band camp. ;)

Teaching my son how to write an algebra proof from "Given" through "Quod erat demonstratum", followed by a duet of Norwegian Wood on ukulele.

 

Isn't it good?

It was even funnier in person. I finally got away from them (the mother backed me up the porch stairs actually) and got inside and called my friend who lives on a mini-farm here to ask her what I should do with them. By the time I got off the phone and ventured back outside, the mother and the baby were on my neighbor's property and had come upon another adventure. :)

The annual Nevada Day parade, of course. This year, besides the traditional gun nuts, the booing of the Governor (and all things Dem), the Burning Man floats, and tramp-laden Bunny Ranch limo, the prade featured the Lad playing snare in a marching band! :cheerleader:

Thanks, Blueschica & Johnny Blaze! I was SO HAPPY watching that game! The next day, we have a show here on ABC, called "Inside Michigan Football" Which has a former Michigan football player as the host, and they talk to the coach Jim Harbaugh, a Quarterback when Bo Shembechler was coach.Jim Brandstatter is the host, and another person I don't know from Michigan's past player ranks...great show! I 'm so happy Michigan has turned around this year, and Gone Back to Thrashing just bout all the teams they face. Next year!
