We had another 2 inches of snow / Temperature here should be almost 40 now
but is so cold /A friend and I met for a nice lunch at Perkins this afternoon. We grew up on the same street, are the same age, 81, and our birthdays are 13 days apart.
Our lives took us in all different directions but we are in the same area now so
had a nice lunch to catch up.

G'day Peeps, yes watching the Olympics!!

And GoodOnYa Canaks for being 1st place on the medal count so far! :)^
Aussie hopes have died, but a few left, but not really positive about outcomes. Speed skaters cannot compete with the Dutch!
Being a nation without big mountains, its natural not to have a lot of snow athletes. Wait till Summer Olympics!!

Warm, wet here in Sydney. Just cruzing.....  :lol:

Hope you feel better soon Cheryl.

Nice to have a life time friend, Carol!

Cute moorehend, Carole, whats on your agenda in FL?

:}^ Will be up late again watching the Olympics. Both Bob and I love watching sports.

Cheryl I hope you are feeling much better as each day goes by :Hugs:

Carol I'm glad you have friends who you can get together with from time to time. Because my father moved us around all over the world every three years or so, I never had a really close friend that I could see over the years, so you are fortunate that you do :)^

Ozzie DH and I watch the Olympics LIVE as long as we can stay up...he goes to :Zz: before I do :P We watch everything in the morning until 2:00PM and again at 6:00PM until whenever we can't stay up again. Sometimes we see the same events several times, but I never get tired of the skating, moguls, skiing et al. Just call us Olympic junkies rofl

Yesterday we were gone from noon until 9:45PM so we had to stay up for all the reruns  :lol:

I know what you mean about the winter sports vs the summer ones...that's when we don't do so well which is just the opposite for you :D

Rewatching the earlier Olympic events of the day right now...Posted Image
Canadians had another fantastic day :><: :><: :><:

Building A Steam Locomotive c1928

This is footage from 1928 news reels showing the construction of a massive 3,600hp locomotive in Canada. It made us want to smash our computer on the ground for the simple fact that computerized automation and design has killed lots of the skill sets used in this video.

This is an amazing video that shows how heavy, hot, dirty and dangerous work was done without personal safety equipment of any sort

Lily the Black Bear – UPDATE February 10, 2014

News from the Bear World


Posted Image :clk:
Cub crawls to back of den

Juliet’s Den Cam is our first of a 3-cub litter and the cub sounds have been a delight. Last night shortly after Juliet retrieved a screaming cub that was crawling away, all 3 cubs settled in to nurse.

Once again, we're glad to know that the camera in Juliet's den records video onsite to an SD card because we lost the transmission from the Den Shed again. Technicians are working to solve the probelm. A ‘down’ Den Cam made today a quiet day, so we turn to news from elsewhere in the bear world.

Juliet retrieves cub

Old Lily Fans will remember 2011 when we all worked so hard (but unsuccessfully) for protection of radio-collared bears here in Minnesota. In Arkansas, the same year, the same issue was afoot, but the Board of Commissioners of the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission made it the law.

Juliet comforts cub

The minutes from their meeting on March 17, 2011, state, “There was a lot of conversation relative to being able to shoot collared bears. In our guidebook we ask hunters not to shoot them, but 13 out of 35 were killed this year. The majority of those were taken over bait and where folks can easily see them. A new code will be added this year prohibiting the taking of bears with radio collars.”

We checked. Current regulations state, “It is illegal to kill a denned bear or one that is being pursued by dogs. It is illegal to kill a bear outfitted with a radio collar.”

Cub settles in to nurse

In another state, we know of a resort where bears are fed. The owners and guests loved them. At first, hunters targeted them. Then, local hunters came to the resort for dinner and met the bears. They loved them, too. This past May (2013), the resort went bankrupt and the owners sadly had to move. What happened to the bears? The local hunters took over feeding them there and now protect them from other hunters. As of this past fall before hibernation, the hunters were still seeing the bears they had gotten to know over the years. Most of the bears came only occasionally over the years, but one female (born in 2005) had come almost daily since she was a cub. After the owners moved away, she, too, scaled back to occasional visits; but the hunters are happy to report that as hibernation approached in late fall, she was still alive and well, with cubs, and putting in occasional appearances.

Thank you for all you do.
