I was certain we had a category for sharing things that come to us via the magic of the Internet. Usually they're sweet stories or pictures of beautiful places, the kinds of things people pass along because they're special. Since I can't find that category, I'm starting a new one. I've already shared it with Ozski (for reasons you'll soon see), and I hope you will all love it. Watch This Great Escape! WOW! Another accomplishment of National Geographic! The photographer who made this film must have had "squirrel-cams" set up all over the place! What a great suspenseful video clip. I can't believe the talent this photographer had to piece this together. Absolutely brilliant photography. Enjoy "The Great Escape"! www.youtube.com/v/XBEyCr5AoIs |

Ok, if you weren't moved by the squirrel and owl, try this.

Why didn't someone honk their horn or something? My sister ran into a huge buck (deer) in the woods once. She said she curled into a ball and hoped he would go away. And he did.

I think this one was a teenager, just looking for a little rough housing. He seemed disappointed that the guy wouldn't play.
I think they knew they could drive it away, but he was serious about wildlife photography.

I know! That's the kind of thing that makes me want to win the lottery, so that I can send people like that lots of money.

That was killer, gk!
My Dahhlink and I both enjoyed it immensely.
Thom edited several, like: "People my age are finally graduating from college now, so the Simpson's statement only works with kids who started college at 18 and graduated in four years, which is now."

Excellent point. Now I'll have to go through them all again, though I'm still struggling with being a banana's cousin.

You CAN hum while holding your nose. Open your mouth.  Maybe that is call Ahhhhhhhing, but you can do it. See, a lot of those statements have to do with specific definitions. Too far West is East, right? Very thought provoking. Thanks for that, gk! We've spent some time there. |

This fact confounds me <<here are more ways to shuffle a deck of cards than there are atoms on Earth.>> Because of this fact <<There are more atoms in a glass of water than there are glasses of water in all the oceans on Earth. >> |

I suspect we've all seen videos of massive elk herds but this one has special drama. Should make BB want to go back to Montana. Bozeman makes the news! 1funny.com/massive-herd-elk-montana/ |

That is truly impressive. Weren't we all cheering for the guy at the end? Makes me think that in Elk Speak, somebody called back to him and said, "Back up, Buddy, and make a run for it! Sheesh!"  |

I was thinking that, too. In fact, I kept wondering where his mom was. All of the elk who had trouble were small, and adults seemed to help them. Or maybe that was my imagination. I just thought his mom should have gone back to the road and given him a clue. But it all turned out just fine and he was probably pretty darn proud of himself. (Or she.)

I like how they waited for the little one.

I like how they waited for the little one. It's a Montana thing: Natural Selection. You either get stronger and smarter, or you don't. The health of the herd depends on you getting stronger and smarter. Nobody gets a medal for participating. |

This is so cool! Scroll down to the video with the arrow and click on it. There is no sound, so don't think that your computer is on the blink again. The best thing for me is that, as decades pass, the white line of the original shoreline remains. threesheetsnw.com/blog/2014/11/the-shoreline-that-once-was/Easy-peasy history in pictures. |

Having the "original" (i.e., when white settlers arrived) coastline shown in all the maps made it much easier to follow and more meaningful.

We watched it on the news and laughed and cried. I missed this whole thread. I can only claim, "I didn't scroll down!" Wonderful story! |
