I was meaning Sam Elliot in The Big Lebowski, but it was also the title of an album by Ian Mathews.
One of the best movies in the past 30 years.
Hard to tell, but is that a triplewide?I'll try another. This is looking at the house. The front porch that the earlier bear was on is barely visible...not the little entrance that you can see. Directly above the bear's ears is my driveway. Have I told you all I live in the mountains. One of Dad's favorite lines is "I can see his backyard looking out the skylight".
Where does he do his business?
Yea every time I hear Rock and Roll Hall of Fame I ask myself why it isn't called the Music Hall of Fame.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 47°F and lightly raining. Could become heavier according to weatherman just now. We may see a high of 58°F. Always need rain around here.
Watched Duke at Va Tech and Kansas vs Baylor last night. How the mighty have fallen. Both Duke and KU have stud players, but not ready for prime time. KU seemed out of sync on execution. Baylor blocked 9 KU shots. Having said that, I'm sure we're looking forward to a great game. Never count out Bill Self's teams when Jayhawks visit Lexington. He's 7-6 vs UK and I believe 2-2 at Rupp.
Working on a few things today. Plan on walking after a light upper-body workout.
Wishing all you fine gents an awesome day.

Yeah, I know. While never seeing that movie ever myself, I have heard it quoted many times.
Never heard of Ian Mathews though. Had to look him up.
Morning D-Legionnaires!
40° this morning with light rain starting out turning into a wintery mix around 0900 then to snow for the rest of the day. 1-3 inches expected or 3-5 inches expected depending on what weather channel/app I view. The weather channel online bounced around those numbers above yesterday and had another prediction of 5-8 inches just before I went to bed. Now back to 1-3 inches, we will see.
Should have saved cleaning the house for today. Dusted, vacuumed, and generally cleaned yesterday. Oh well, I will just have to settle in for a long winters nap after the morning workout to prepare for the game tonight.
Prayers for those hurting and healing this morning and for the safety of those traveling either to work or just out and about.
God Bless.
Don't know, he/she told me to mind my own.
Good morning D-League. It's currently a frosty 29° and clear here in Eastern Kentucky. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies and a high of 49°.
Have a great day.
Have a great day.
Good morning D-League.
Good night of hoops for Cat fans with Duke and the Jailhawks losing.
As for that “bear” quote, I don’t have time to go back and watch it, but I think it might have been used in the early 1970s movie Jeremiah Johnson —the old grizzled mountain man played by Will Geer giving Robert Redford’s “pilgrim” some advice.
The other thing it reminded me of: When I was 18 and traveled to Anchorage by way of making my way to a pipeline camp in the Copper River Valley, we were required to do one day of “orientation” before bused to the camps. One thing they showed us was a long video of Ranger footage taken from the scene of Grizzly Bear attacks. Lawd, a big bear can make a mess of a human. It certainly made the point: don’t mess with the bears.
I’ve followed that advice ever since. Hope you D-Leaguers stay safe.

No, that's just a shadow. This bear (at the time) was a solo. I'm pretty sure he/she lost their mother at an early age since it started showing up as a youngster by itself.
Look between the Tasco and the entrance door.
Will Kansas still be ranked after they take their 4th consecutive loss home Saturday? The bigger question is if the are unranked when was the last time Duke, UNC, UK and Kansas were all unranked?
I don't know that one. But, while visiting Kodiak, AK my uncle (Mom is originally from there) took me to see the bear biologist. My uncle is one of 2 UPS drivers on the island and knows everyone. During our conversation with the biologist he told me of the story of the lunatic (and his girlfriend) that lived with the bears on island. Biologist said that the guy (can't remember his name) stated that his goal in life is to become bear sh**. The biologist held up his hands a couple of feet apart and said "He came that close to reaching his goal".

No. It's the smallest double wide we could get in order to get it where it sits. I couldn't watch. It took a dozer to get it up there. That's where my wife wanted (on her family property) so that's where we are. Our landlord at the time decided to sell our rented house and we had to get out fairly quick. But, it has additions on 3 sides and is now much bigger than we need (no kids/grandkids).
A third mass murder in 8 days in California. What's going on out there?
Only thing I can see is you mowing. Is there another animal I'm missing?
Highly restrictive gun laws for law abiding citizens? Gun free zones? Obama's fast and furious? The land of tolerance? Cali seceding from reality? Everybody wants to be a star?
Good Morning D
Just came inside and we have a perfect weather day today. It is 60° and will hit 78° by this afternoon. Plenty of sunshine with a brisk breeze off of the Gulf. Very pleasant and a nice day to be outside.
We finished up War and Remembrance last night. It is a powerful miniseries. The first miniseries was Winds of War. Both have about a dozen episodes that last approximately 2 hours each episode. It is a series that will keep your eyes glued to the screen the entire time. Never Forget.
I trust all are well.

For the first time in my lifetime, that I can recall, Californians are in our area of the state. We are a long way for someone to just pull up stakes and move their business and family.
I have talked to several transplant Californians and they have horror stories to tell. Most of the new comers are in the medical field and a few are starting their small business back up. They closed the doors in California and left for good.
They say even the Beverly Hillbillies have left and returned to the South. I have two cousins in that group.
They both moved out to California during the 60's and raised their families there. Later my aunt and uncle retired to the area, metro Los Angeles. The aunt and uncle are dead and the two boys just couldn't handle it anymore. Their businesses were looted, robbed and the cost of living outrageous. One went to Mississippi and the other went to Tennessee. Both are happy now.
They're trying to pass another wealth tax on the filthy rich in California but it's not just for residents. It will also be for those that have fled to other states to get away. Handcuffed even if you've lived in Florida for years.For the first time in my lifetime, that I can recall, Californians are in our area of the state.

That last line made me think of the "happy cows" ad that used to run on TV. Those cows were on heroin, crack, and weed, and we all knew it. The only happy California cows are now transplants. The ones still in Cali were long ago labeled domestic terrormists.
No....just me mowing. I usually use the weedeater on the hill, but was testing the bear. It stayed the entire time I mowed and I'm about 25-30 yards away in the pic. At this point I decided to take up the feeder. I figured that little bear would cause problems when it got bigger.
BTW, a fella I know (realtor) was visiting one of my properties. I was looking for someone to landscape the place and there was a crew next door. We started talking to them and turns out one of them mentioned he was from California. Moved to KY and was looking for a house.
After talking about all of the problems in Cali, my friend, even though he knew he might lose a customer, looked at him and said, "I hope you're not bringing to KY the (paraphrased) liberal politics you ran from there." EVERYbody but that man had a good laugh at that. The man just looked down at the trailer in front of him. No home sale for my friend, but he said it was definitely worth it.

Sorry. I just got so excited to find another bear in that photo that I nearly went crosseyed.
No death penalty, early release of prisoners, prisons not harsh enough, criminals run the state.
I have a lot of bear (and other critters) pictures, but will need to limit them or I'll run out. Speaking of going cross eyed I may have a good "next" pic if I can find it. I don't have a ton of them on FB and not sure I can access some of the other places I may have them.
They will make it work somehow. What makes it even more complicated is that it's a net worth tax, not an income tax. I didn't read the entire article on Fox but if passed it'll only apply to billionaires beginning in 2024. 1 1/2% tax on net worth. Beginning in 2026 a 1% tax will apply to net worth of 50 million to 1 billion. Over 1 billion will still be taxed 1 1/2%. An accounting nightmare.
New York is doing the same thing.
I doubt very seriously that the U.S. Supreme Court will allow California government to collect taxes on Florida citizens unless they are making the income in California.
I have only done business for the railroad in California. I never fell in love the the West coast. They talk about great weather, then comes the fires, the mud slides etc. They can keep it.
Enjoyed some King Oscar Royal Fillets Mackerel in olive oil for lunch. Mackerel contains very high amounts of Omega-3 DHA and EPA. Delicious. Honestly, I never knew what I'd been missing.
I keep these on hand at all times. Today for lunch I had Season Brand Sardines in 100% olive oil.

Eating healthy and feeling good.
Must win game tonight, not a fun situation to be in, but it makes every game interesting...a loss to a 10-9 Vandy team would be a killer on the NCAA hopes. Plus we got Kansas right after that. So we have to get the W.
