The more I hear of these, the more apprehensive I become. Nobody asked us, nobody told us, and all of a sudden these are cropping up everywhere. What happened to their climate worries–the water shortages? Money talks. This makes me very pessimistic.

Border Collies rescued from hoarding situation
Of all breeds, border collies are accepted as being the most intelligent. It is doubly cruel for such animals to be in a situation like this. Some however are already showing signs of improvement.

Sorry about the lack of posts today
I wasn’t able to post as much as usual today because I spent the entire morning (or a very large part of it) on the phone with Verizon. All is well and the techs will be coming later in the month to put some gizmo on my computer to deliver my new data-receiver (hope that’s a real thing). It was painless, will be somewhat cheaper and that’s that. I get to keep my phone, etc. so there will be a minimum of change. I had worried about there being a sort of Macy’s vs Gimbels problem because my phone is leased from AT&T, but no problem there either. That’s also good.
So basically, nothing will change on my end except the delivery system. That’s fine with me, and I hope it’s true.
It’s hot again today, but nowhere near as hot or humid as it has been.
Well, at least one important thing was taken care of today, and that’s something.
Have a good night, all.
See you tomorrow.
God bless everybody.

A Wolf Among the Windmills REPRINT
From October 23, 2013
I saw a video the other day, taken by someone from his front door during Hurricane Sandy. It showed a good-sized shark swimming around his front yard. “Farewell and adieu to ye fair Spanish ladies…”
All right, it was a freak flood caused by a major hurricane, not Jaws‘ revenge. But one of my buddies from Chessgames.com, who lives in the Netherlands, reported a national freak-out this summer when a wolf turned up in Holland. (Full story at http://phys.org/news/2013-08-wolf-netherlands-scientists.html )
There’s hardly any wildlife left in Holland, he says. “People are excited when they see an occasional squirrel–or sometimes even a rabbit. Anything larger will induce various degrees of panic.”
Well, at least one scientist thinks there might be a small population of wolves in the Netherlands, probably having migrated there from Eastern Europe. In the hypersuburban town where I live, a bear turned up last summer. Uh-oh.
Those of you who’ve been reading my Bell Mountain novels know that the return of exotic, dangerous wildlife to lands inhabited by civilized nations is a sign that God is going to change the world.
Sharks in this one’s front yard, a bear in that one’s back yard, and wolves wandering among the windmills…
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
Bay Head Mayor pleads for safety as sharks are lured close to shore
The mayor of a New Jersey shore town is pleading for safety because shark fishermen are dumping chum close to the line in the surf where people swim. Can you say that’s a really dumb thing to do?
The cat problem in Istanbul
Actually, Istanbul takes pretty good care of their street cats, but the problem is really too big as it is. They do their best, as individuals and rescue groups. It is said “if you see more cats than people, you are in Istanbul”.

A truly remarkable story. Sometimes you just do what you have to do.
