Beaver Moon

Here is a picture of the Waning Gibbous 98% of Full "Beaver" Moon. This month's full moon was the culprit for blocking out a lot of the Leonid meteors. I can't be too upset, it sure is a neat sight in the night sky. The picture is a little hazy as there is a thin layer of clouds making for an eerie moonrise!

The Bear Named "Kitty"

This bear's name is "Kitty." Lacie and I wouldn't have believed it either, until it came into Lacie while she was calling, "Here Kitty...Kitty....Kitty." I opened the bedroom curtain and there it stood 3 feet from me on our front porch, just 30 seconds after Lacie came inside. The real tragedy here is that this bear believes it truly is a cat. I don't think Lacie will be calling for "Kitty" anymore, also known as Scruffy.
