The state Fish & Game collar over a hundred here every year just to waste taxpayer money.

It seems like the animal might get hung up and injured wearing a collar like that.
That particular baby elk does not still have the collar on it. A Fish & Game employee stopped at my house a couple days ago to ask permission to walk on my property. She said she was tracking a collared baby elk and now the collar was stationary(feared dead). I said fine and she came back with the collar that had fallen off the baby. They fold over the collar in a couple spots and weakly stitch it so if the collar gets caught on something the stitches rip free and make the collar much larger, usually large enough to fall off. (like sewing darts in the waist of a pair of pants)
There are several collared cow elk that visit our place regularly. So far I have never seen a collared bull elk.
I talked to the F&G employee for a while because she was pretty

GPS said I could go under that bridge...it is a white Volvo, so...
Private schools are a higher standard than any company school. I went to a private academy with a very high reputation and was hired a week before I gradjeeated. I am a student driver and have been driving for 22 years. I am still learning and when I cannot learn anything new about trucking I will become a greeter at Maomart of a "want fries wif dat." type of dude.

Well, my Grandpa just finished his 18 month neighborhood common area project. He moved to a new 55+ Neighborhood, one of his arguments for the move was, “I’m getting my knees replaced & yard work for me is becoming too hard.” That argument didn’t last long. This area deemed unusable by the builder, across the street from my grandparents home, was too much fun for my Grandpa to pass up.
He has cleaned up the forest debris, we cut down dead trees, moved rocks to planned locations, him & my Grandmother placed woodland creatures throughout, labeled the different species of plants, built seating & tables with the logs we cut.
He’s fertilizing the natural plants he wants to grow & spread new pine needles throughout.
He created an elaborate 4 phase neighborhood voting system to agree on a name for the area which started with 44 suggested names. The final vote was Neighbors Nook. The neighbors are blown away with the progress & are asking when the Grand Opening is scheduled.
Im so proud of this Guy!

One of my kids hiked up to columbine lake in Colorado. Looks like ice still in the lake and they were there just this last weekend.
This might be enough corn liquor to get the north side of the counties mixture a little rich.

Looks great but...
Don't forget the game cameras! You know what's going to happen the first time some residents punk teenage grandkids visit this summer... so much for the little forest critters.
Weed eater !?!?!? Wouldn’t that fling the PI oil over everything and everyone? Mypreferred PI killer is Roundup.
This is where my heart is...
There’s something about being surrounded by water. The sound behind you, deep ocean in front.
It’s an Atlantic drop off.
The waves hit different there.
Surfing is big in Buxton, North Carolina
Right out from the window where we stayed, surfers would catch air.

7 years ago, we took our autistic son on vacation. He wanted a camera. This is an example of the pictures he took. He never again had any interest in photography.

Mount Rushmore is iconic.
Ooh that's a cheetah. You can tell by the 'tear marks" at the corner of the eyes.
I watched a documentary once that gave the Kenyan (I think) folklore of how they got those lines.
Cheetahs are the smallest and most fragile of the African big cats and because they were ostracized and picked on by the bigger ones, like lions and leopards, it made them sad and they would cry and cry and cry to the point that the tear marks left lines in their skin and fur.
I saw a kingfisher on a clothesline when I took Jack out for a walk earlier. I badly wanted to get closer but I knew it would fly away. So I had to zoom in instead.
Case in point, when I took a couple of steps forward to see if I could get another pic, it flew away to the other side of the clothesline.

Not my photo. Burger King in Lincoln, Nebraska. A little while later the sign was changed to Help Wanted.
The other day I went over to a good friend’s house that I have not seen in over a year, I think his dog had missed me a little bit.
Nice seats. Was that from today's game?

I've only been to a handful of professional baseball games in my life. Most of them, I had cheap seats that were about 10 stories high and miles away from the action. The games were exceedingly boring from up there. You see the batter swing and start running, and he's already at third base before the sound of the bat hitting the ball makes it up to your section. But one time I had good seats. Close to what your picture shows above, but not quite that good. Still, very good seats that my friend who took me had. The game was totally different from that viewpoint. It was fun. It was exciting. I enjoyed it very much. The exact opposite of my experiences up in the nosebleed section.
But our sport here is hockey. We've had season tickets since the NHL came to town in 1995. And before that, we had season tickets to IHL hockey. That's how we got such good NHL seats. The new NHL team (the Colorado Avalanche) let the IHL season ticket holders have first dibs on seats for NHL season tickets. This picture is three rows directly down from our seats (we were talking with friends when I snapped this). We intentionally choose slightly higher seats because hockey games are brutal on your neck if you're right on the ice snapping your head left, then right, then left, then right to watch the (very fast) game. Also, there is plexiglass to keep stray pucks out of the audience and you want to be high enough to see over the plexiglass and not have the top edge of it bisecting your field of vision. At the game below, the plexiglass had been temporarily replaced by a net. Not sure why. Maybe they were doing an upgrade/fix to the plexiglass and didn't finish before game time. Pucks rarely escape into the crowd at center ice, but the people seated in the corners of the rink would be hit all the time if it weren't for the plexiglass.
My dad was one of the Zamboni drivers for a couple minor league hockey clubs.
Used to go all the time.
Dad used to let my kids ride on the Zamboni after the games too.
Crappy internet pic of Dad (driving the Zamboni, duh...) between periods
