as the united states becomes less agricultural it becomes, generally, more covered in forests. and as the forests spread you start to see the return of big animals ('megafauna', one of my favorite words) who haven't been around in the states for decades, if not a century. like bears, for example.
when i had a house upstate i used to see black bears shambling around at the edge of the woods every now and then. i also saw lots of deer and wild turkeys and occasionally saw signs that wolves had been sniffing around in the woods (like peter and the wolf, minus the duck and the malevolence). but the bears are kind of the most interesting, as the black bears are for the most part shy and fat and reclusive (although they do still occasionally kill people. remember: avoid black bears, but if one charges you wave your hands in the air and scream and never run away from a black bear. outdoors safety tip #274. this only works with black bears. never yell at a grizzly bear. just fyi). and now you have people in the suburbs having fairly regular encounters with mega-fauna who used to just be in zoos (i mean, there were no deer or bears or wolves in darien, connecticut when i was growing up). eagles, too. i used to see gigantic eagles swooping around upstate (1 hour north of nyc).
so as the bears return you end up with the occasional bear in a skate park, like in this accidentally minimalist picture:
this bear wandered into a skate park and couldn't get out. so someone had the simple idea, 'well, we could bring in a helicopter or tranquilize the bear or bring in a cage. or we could just pop a ladder in the skate park and let the bear climb out.' which, eventually, the bear did. i just love this simple picture. bear. ladder. skate bowl. and, for the record no bears or people or ladders were hurt in the process. i really do wonder why the bear went into the skate bowl in the first place. maybe he thought it was a giant cement bee hive. i'm sure he was embarrassed when he realized it was just an old swimming pool.

Every time I take a flight
Every time I take a flight from NYC to my hometown in Arkansas I become mesmerized by the endless patchwork of cleared land. wholesale wigs grew up on a farm surrounded by these endless plots of land and remember when my great aunt Kate told Wholesale Sexy Lingerie that when she was a little girl, before her father purchased the majority of the southeastern part of the state, it was nothing but forest. Now all I can think of is one day inheriting part of what is left of that land to put a big spot of treetops on that ugly tapestry.

Living in upstate NY sounds like fun!
You can learn so much from the life of a bear.
A bear simply rolls into a big empty skating bowl, without thought and not thinking. Surely coddling up knowledge doesnt allow you to plainly live. And when you are free like that you can count on a ladder falling from heaven, anytime. Though fat and lazy, bears make very good climbers. :)

is very intriguing. I still wonder, what would he find

A substantial trade imbalance persists although the opening of the Mozal aluminum smelter, the country's largest foreign investment project to date, has increased export earnings. Mozambique's once substantial foreign debt has been reduced through forgiveness and rescheduling under the IMF's Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) and Enhanced HIPC initiatives, and is now at a manageable level. In July 2007 the Millennium Challenge Corporation (MCC) signed a Compact with Mozambique; the Compact entered into force in September 2008 and will continue for five years. Compact projects will focus on improving sanitation, roads, agriculture, and the business regulation environment cash advance in an effort to spur economic growth in the four northern provinces of the country.

New Mistake Remix
Love remixes and this one was pretty good....
Sounding a bit like New Order/Joy Division. The good old 80's, OK early 80's...my girlfriends and I clubbing to that sound. Can't get it out of me, still listening, less clubbing.
Skater Bear
Great photo, but that bear is not wearing appropriate safety pads and helmet for skate park activity. LOL!

Awwwww, Precious Journal My Eternal Love
Good Morning My Precious Love,
Awwww, I almost forwarded you the article on that bear last night when I saw it. Isn’t that precious and I’m so happy and relieved that the bear was able to figure out that it could get out with that ladder. The good Samaritans who helped the fuzzy bear to rescue itself are angels aren’t they. That is a very touching and amazing story and I’m not surprised that you noticed it in the news media and you warm my heart for posting it in a journal. You are the sweetest man on this earth. You never cease to touch my heart. The things that captivate you, captivate me too. It’s so amazing what you do to me darling. We are scientifically meshed ever so beautifully, sighs…..
I’ve never seen a bear in real life, except at zoos, but in beautiful Aspen Colorado there are signs all over warning about bears and they have specialized bear proof garbage cans all around there. I never got to see one though. They never came out when I visited.
Your home in upstate New York, wow, that sounds so lovely. You had wolves. Those dear animals have been threatened to extinction, because people kill them, rather than humanely have a sanctuary rescue them and take them to a more remote area to live in peace.
In Colorado and in Wisconsin I would see lots of deer and in Arizona there were lots of coyotes and wild cats. I haven’t seen any big wild megafauna here in Florida. We do have the alligators, those are the largets wild animals I have seen here. I remember deer in Connecticutt. Smiles.
I’ve always loved Wolves and wild cats. I was a member of the Green Bay Save the Wolves Foundation at UWGB when I lived in Wisconsin.
My baby sister Liahona has always loved bears. I usually buy her Polar Bear items, since those are her favorite bears.
My younger sister Amanda’s nickname is Amanda Panda and thus she has always been recipient of Panda gifts, smiles. I still call her Amanda Panda at times.
I’ve never seen wild turkeys outside of a zoo.
I miss cross country skiing and walking at the wild life sanctuary in Green Bay. There was a coyote there that I adored. I would visit it and it would come up to the fence and put it’s paw up to greet me. It was so precious. I felt like it was my child. It looked at me with eyes like it knew me. I wanted to visit it often.
I use to go to the Green Bay Wild Life Sanctuary and watch the wolves together in their packs. They are so interesting to watch. They are so like humans in so many ways. Amazing animals.
I’ll keep your advice in mind, should I ever come across a bear my love, but if I do, I hope you and I will be together at the time, so you can hold my hand and keep help me calm and make sure I don’t pass out. Angel Kisses xxxx
I’ve seen a few Eagles in my lifetime, mainly in Wisconsin.
I was a very little girl when I lived in Connecticutt, so I don’t remember much about there, but I do remember the many deer that would be grazing about. I’ve always loved deer and I enjoy feeding them. I remember my Mom, brother Eldon and I taking a walk in Greenwich CT and we saw deer drinking from a bird bath in a neighbors front yard, smiles.
That curious fuzzy bear got himself into quite a rut. It’s a good thing the good Samaritans came along to help, giggles. That’s a priceless photo. I’m glad the bear didn’t hurt itself when it obviously must have fallen into that empty swimming pool/skate bowl. I’m relieved that the bear didn’t have to be frightenly tranquilized or trapped to get out safely. There was no harming the animal. Tis very much so an angelic story, smiles. Giggles, bears are very humanlike so I agree my love, I’m thinking that dear bear was really embarrassed and also frustrated at itself for being so silly goose, Hee hee…
Speaking of skateboarding, did I remember to add that to my list of favorite sports? I can't remember if I did. I'm not great on a skate board, but I use to love doing it when I was in highschool. My little brother Eldon got me into it. It's lots of fun.
I so love this journal Honey Bunny!!!
And I love, love, love You With All My Heart Cutie Pie,
Your Eternal Love Rachelley
