Goodness, I go away for one day and my dear blog friends have all sorts of struggles! ♥ Messages on the last thread. ♥ And all the while, Howard Dean remains First.
Son and Grandson stayed overnight Saturday night and after a Sunday morning visit Mah*Sweetie and I drove to and from NH for a gathering of my cousins! Sorry to have missed so much.
Back home and taking it very easy. Coaching Son #2 through cooking.
So sorry to hear about Tanner and Tanner's mom. IMHO there is nothing more agonizing in this world than watching your child suffer and being unable to help. Holding them both in the light. May they soon find the answers they need to help Tanner.

puddle, send the photo to your nearest Wildlife Nature people!! Likely they can send someone up to tranquilise the bear, check him over, do any needed stitching and give him a powerful dose of antibiotic! I'm serious. They do that for Lynx in Maine.
Dad and Sis have been out and about, following up leads, which is probably better than sitting home feeling miserable. Still no return of wandering kitty though.
Our current cat showed up one day, very leery but hungry. She was very thin and malnourished so badly that her fur was turning red; it was also very badly matted. We slowly worked on getting her to accept us--I was scarier for her than Miyoko. When we could get a photo, I put up "found cat" signs, and an older couple who lived a good mile away on the other side of a major express street recognized her and visited us. They had fed her also, but had never been able to approach her, although she got along with their cats. She was frightened of the husband, but much less so the wife, just as with us. They had no idea where she came from. She had no collar or tag. I put an ad in the newspaper too, but no luck. She was too aggressive to let inside with our cat of the time, but the latter passed on not long after and was replaced by the new cat. She must have been a pet--she knew what a litter box was for, and she did not act like a feral cat. To this day we have no idea where she came from, and she is showing signs of age. She never has been a lap cat. She likes to sleep with her head resting against something made of wood; maybe a memory of something from her kittenhood?
On another note altogether, last night I was mucking around looking for info on musicians who had worked with Janis Joplin, and found mention of the Boradway play "A Night With Janis Joplin." WOW! And DOUBLE WOW! There were some clips on YouTube, and also there were samples from the original Broadway cast recording on Amazon. The performer who portrayed Janis (Mary Bridget Davies) is absolutely mind-boggling in her ability to mimic, indeed to channel, Janis. Likewise the singer portraying Bessie Smith, and I expect the others portraying the major influences on Janis (e.g. Big Mama Thornton, Sister Rosetta Tharpe, Aretha Franklin) must be just as astounding. I will definitely be purchasing the cast recording--albeit from a small business rather than Amazon. Now to tune in some more cuts from the Broadway performance.

P.S.: I think I will check out Moby Grape as well.
I remember searching the short wavelength band as a boy--Radio Moscow came in pretty well, but had to change their broadcast frequency from time to time.

Thanks, all. Agree completely.
ReplyDeleteThis is a pic of a young bear who lives up by Nancy's chicken house. He seems to have been hurt. Ma Nature's a tough lady. https://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xaf1/v/t1.0-9/q71/s720x720/10561541_678571745569630_5043596643595977782_n.jpg?oh=09d436dee3154bd431d44efbf8f3f3dc&oe=544C1F07&__gda__=1415141762_72d9d141f9dad269f30483ba9bbd1010
