I assumed he was trying to get me ... in which case, he didn't make it.

And, so as not to violate the theme of the thread again, here's a baby box turtle eating a raspberry.

Was her long wait really worth it?

Hans Zimmer is terrific.

The best spider video on youtube has to be the mutant spider dog.



My favourite is the dog birthday cake though (original video isn't available to me in the UK - https://youtu.be/g4QkGR0q5Es).

Morristown is a large town (or very, very small city) in northern NJ. My family moved there when I was in 8th grade. The Morristown Green is a park in the center of the town. There are several statues commemorating veterans and heroes of several wars, park benches and lots of trees. I used to hang out there after classes at the high school. In my case, I'd usually sit on a patch of grass under a tree and read a science fiction magazine or paperback.

Back then there were very few bears in NJ. When I was picking up dead deer, in the mid-70s, I got a call to pick up a dead bear on I-80 near the Delaware river, and didn't believe it until I saw it.

Bears have become much more common recently, with bears in every county and some bear attacks in the news. And, every once in a while, they wander into towns.

Apparently, a bear managed to get all the way to the Green today. There are several videos on Youtube documenting his misadventures.

And now, something a bit different. Morristown: Where America Survived -- A documentary produced in 2009 by the now defunct New Jersey Network (nominally replaced by NJTV, but there's no comparison on their quality, IMHO).

I lived in Morristown when I was a teen, and my folks lived there until a few years ago. This documentary covers the winter encampment of 1779-1780 at Jockey Hollow -- now a national park. During the time of the encampment Jockey Hollow would have qualified as the fifth largest city in the colonies.

I spent a lot of time on the trails there, and returned to do some hiking with my son last summer.

Here's the description of the video:

The complete HD version of the 2009 NJN history special, MORRISTOWN: WHERE AMERICA SURVIVED. 95% of the footage in this show was NJN original footage. Re-enactment scenes filmed in and around Jockey Hollow at Morristown National Historical Park. Narrated by Edward Herrmann. This 30-minute special was immediately picked up by PBS and aired in the national program schedule with the American Experience series.

NFL Bad-lip reading, no doubt about it. "WE-GOTTA-EAT-THE-BREAKFAST. WE-EAT-BREAKFAST."

This isn't a product endorsement for any particular make of car -- I just get very tired of seeing car commercials pushing "driving excitement." I'd rather see more like this one:
