So the cable guy got the TV and digital phone installed, but, when given the choice of purchasing my own $35 wireless router, or renting theirs for $10/month over the course of the two year contract, I chose to set the network up myself. And of course it was only after he left that I realized he never gave me the PIN so I could set up my voicemail. Oh geez. I hate calling support. So I hunted down their online chat support, but still ended up with non-English speaking technician. They were of little help, but they did offer their “sincere apologize.”
But that’s not the reason I popped in today…
About 9,000 of us from around the globe watched in real-time yesterday afternoon as a black bear in MN gave birth to a pair of cubs. If you missed this event you can’t blame me, because I told you about the dencam last year, just before Lily gave birth to a single female cub that was later named Hope.
There was so much drama between Hope and Lily over the course of the summer that it was sometimes difficult to watch. And I suspect, now that Hope is denning with Lily and her new half-siblings, the drama will continue.
This is an amazing opportunity to glimpse into a world most of us couldn’t have imagined, and it’s all made possible by the efforts of the dedicated researchers at the North American Bear Center.
