I'd rather not fry the dogs. One of them is just stupid enough to make that a problem. Anyway, most bears in the spring are busy looking for moose calves, and in the fall they like berries. I have a bunch of raspberry plants out there, and they grow like weeds here. I'm thinking I will plant some outside the fence for the bears, but you never know when one will get a wild hair and jump the fence entirely.

179 176 I have a question for the Horde - is there an answer/theory about the drones seen in New Jersey? Apparently a leftist site is saying they were reflected lights, and accusing the New Jerseyans (? New Jersites? Guys from Joisey?) of confusing laser lights being pointed at planes with whatever those lights were.

I didn't really pay attention to the whole thing, so I appreciate Hordian wisdom

The Gub-int knows. When they said they didn't know, they lied.

184 I'm taking care of my friends' other cats for the next 7 days.

Starry is an outdoor cat. Beautiful cat and she's the mother of Snowflake and Trumpy.

And there are 2 very furry beautiful kittens. Snowflakes' children.

And popular opinion is that Trumpy is the father. As the kids said, they are married, even though they are brother and sister.

Beats dating I guess....

185 Ka-boom

>>Two sailors on separate boats have been killed in boom accidents two hours apart on a storm-ravaged first night of the annual Sydney to Hobart race, adding to the event's long history of deaths at sea.

>>The Cruising Yacht Club of Australia in Sydney, which administers the yacht race, said Friday that one sailor each on entrants Flying Fish Arctos and Bowline were killed after being struck by the boom, a large horizontal pole at the bottom of the sail.

186 I was at my son's place for Xmas which is just south of Newark Airport. We both agreed that what we saw last night wasn't a plane and so had to be a drone.

Chemical Enya with that 'alizarin crimson'. Wait that's from the madder plant?

What really cool colors from the 'maddest' plant?
