Dang Iowegions.

I'll pass the sentiments to my sister in Iowa.

Consider the coals stirred, and coffee brewed for the night owls.

Weather here is chilly: currently 15, with breezes on and off. Some of the white stuff may find its way to this part of the state.

In work world, I have a new route tomorrow. I have to go up an icy canyon I've never been to. So if I don't return, just know I probably got eaten by a bear.

Y'all keep warm.

I have good results by chatting at great lenght with bears I encounter, I suspect that I must bore them until they leave....

Same forecast for our area in Nebraska, Slim.

[Russ T Chambers]

Prof
I doubt they were bored.  They just were listening so close, they thought it was time to hibernate again.

I find the posts you put forth to be highly informative, interesting, and "Bearing"  on entertaining. 

I may have to put a compilation together to take with me into the Sierra next spring,

I like keeping the indigenous species happy while I'm among them.

Keep 'em cum'n

[Professor Marvel]

Ah My Dear Russty

you are to kind to this poor demented babbler.
and in fact, whilst I do talk to anything I can, including bears, dogs, racoons, weasels, snakes, ravens, owls, trees, rocks, drunks...
(btw I find the rocks and trees to be the most attentive)
I do confess that my "bear talking" was, if not inspired by, at least justified by Park Rangers -

from https://www.nps.gov/subjects/bears/safety.htm
snip-------------------------------------
Bear Encounters

Once a bear has noticed you and is paying attention to you, additional strategies can help prevent the situation from escalating.

1) Identify yourself by talking calmly so the bear knows you are a human and not a prey animal.
......
6) Continue to talk to the bear in low tones; this will help you stay calmer, and it won't be threatening to the bear.

"Greetings My Dear Bear.
Prof Marvel Here, I have my ID in my wallet if you like...
lets see, no, that is the park pass
wait this is my insurance and registtration.
Do you take visa or mastercard Monsieur Bear?
Oh I am so sorry it is Mademoisal Bear, My deepest appolgies, ....
perhaps I can interest you in some postcards or snake oil?
If not, I will be hapy to read to you the Park Regulations on bear encounters and the Bear Relocation policy...

Wait, Don't go!
I have so much more I would like to share with you! Did you know.....

Hello? Ms Bear?"

Kid, it's Ioway, my Ioway Indian friends are glad to point it out, Iowa is and acronym for idiots out wandering around.   Grandpa and Grandma escaped there with dad in 1936.

One would have to be a wandering idiot to settle there after the 1800s 

Evening all.

I survived the new route. Turns out it was actually a canyon I know, just by a different name. No bears, though I did see several elk and a flock of geese.
