Today’s
Reflection:
Another nice summer day. No
complaints.
Richard is doing much better. I talked to him this morning and he
is feeling good and had a good event last night. He’s heading back to Mexico
soon and Laura continues her work in New Orleans.
I ordered a macrame wall hanging from Amazon. It looks very nice in
my living room.
Yesterday several more victims were found alive after the flooding
in Nepal. The search for survivors continues after 10 days. I guess miracles
can happen in this crazy world.
One of the pool players from next door stopped by to see if I
needed anything and reiterated that when I do, just knock on the door. Nice
guys.
Historical events
Cool to know:
Only one NFL team has a
plant for a logo.
The New Orleans Saints'
fleur-de-lis is actually a stylized lily historically associated with the
French monarchy. It's also the state symbol of Louisiana and appears on the
Quebec flag.
Colorado Wildlife:
The bobcat is a familiar
animal, but it is secretive and seldom seen. Bobcats are similar in appearance
to their cousin, the lynx. Indeed, they are especially difficult to distinguish
in the Southern Rockies, where the local bobcat is large and pale in color. The
most accurate way to distinguish the two species are their tails; bobcat tails
are white underneath with a black tip and stripes on top, whereas lynx have a
solid black tail. Bobcats tend to also have more pronounced spots and stripes
than the lynx, although this may not always be the case. Both species can have
ear tufts. Hasty observers sometimes confuse mountain lion kittens — which are
spotted — with bobcats or lynx, but that is a careless error because young
cougars have distinctly long tails.
Bobcats are adaptable
carnivores and are widespread across the state. CPW initiated a long-term study
of bobcat density, harvest effects, prey selection and development of
monitoring techniques in 2022 to further develop the agency’s research base on
the species specifically in Colorado.
