Up here in the Great Land, the bears are waking up.

Bears are just one of the wildlife-related things we deal with, living in rural Alaska, of course. We had a black hanging around for a while last summer, and while I stood watch a few times while Mrs. Animal was working in the greenhouse, I never got a good clear look at him – or else he’d have been in the freezer. Black bear is downright good eating, and the season is open up here year ’round, with an annual bag limit of three. And there’s a reason we keep a chest freezer that’s big enough to double as a crypt for a Pharaoh of old. So, maybe this year.
Now then…

No, Tim Scott doesn’t have a chance of being elected President in 2024. He’s not really running for President; he is at most running for a cabinet post.

This Week’s Cultural Edification:
Something a little different this week; you’ve all seen here, in previous installments, my fond memory of the great Johnny Carson. Well, in this show, he had as his guest on the Tonight Show another great, Ann-Margret.
In this episode she puts on, as a preview for an upcoming performance, a musical number that will knock your socks off – among other things. (Also, it must have been chilly on that stage.) Unforgettable is something of an understatement here. Enjoy.
