    no it is an English badger that ate too many mushrooms ....we have wild badgers here in France (I see their footprints often) but they are very shy solitary creatures..it is only in the UK that they live colonially and are so easy to see. For anyone in the US this is a Eurasian Badger (Meles meles) as opposed to the North American Badger (Taxidea taxus) which appears from my PMs to be associated with Wisconsin. btw many of us have still not forgiven Walt Disney for portraying Friar Tuck as the wrong type of badger in the Robin Hood cartoon.....;-)

    spring in France
    It is beautiful here now. Warm days and cool nights and badgers can emerge from hibernation. Last week I sat in the garden in shorts and T shirt while my wife cut my hair! Last night soft steady rain to refresh everything and water the fruit trees we planted. Many flowers out now and some birds singing. Peregrine falcons and ravens getting frisky and aerobatically displaying in the gorge. It can still turn nasty up here right up to April but we ain't thinking about that As they say in the home country "the saps a-risin' " he he

    Hey Bob!
    The other end of Andalucia is adventurous, as ever! Tell me about this Andalucia holiday Thursday-all I know is have 2 days off, but have no idea what we are celebrating. Was stormy here the end of last week, and on Saturday, but now is around 25 in the afternoon, and SUN SUN SUN. Can leave my windows open all day and all night now. And am digging the strawberries in the fruit shops!!!!!!!!!!********************************** Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone, you will still exist, but you have ceased to live.

Pinwheel down the road like carnival rides on the road to work this morning, hoping that I just hadn't had my ticket punched for a session of bumper cars! Not supposed to be like this in NC, at least not unless you're in the mountains. I moved from New England for this?

Sounds like a typical commute for us! Fun isn't it? Although so far it has been way too mild. We need some snow!!! "It's got no signs or dividing line and very few rules to guide"

Lived in Maine a good long while...I actually used to have fun, which is to say actually enjoy, driving on fresh snow as long as no one else was on the road. It's this ice stuff that is more typical around here that gets scary, and the fact that the road crews aren't very well-prepared to handle it (a generous appraisal of their preparedness, I assure you). Yesterday you just didn't know minute-to-minute if the road was ok or if it was a sheet of ice. And then there's the clueless drivers -- one truck blew by me going at least 80 mph, and a few miles later I was following traffic going 5-10 mph. Reasonable speed was somewhere in between. Anyway, we'd be happy to send the snow and cold weather to CO where it belongs!

Got it up here in Ontario, Canada too. Beautiful snow, fluffy & flaky, just the way we like it. Already had a few good skates on the pond after the first snap and I'm looking forward to this lunar eclipse. Gonna go trudge through the woods in my woolens and breathe the good air. Happy Solstice!!!!

I went up to Paddy O'Quigley's, the other day, for a pint and met up with a bloody British chap who said airport runways were shut down for the first time he can remember, at both major London airports. Is the rest of Europe experiencing an early winter too? Y'all must be getting the snow that we're not getting here in Kansas City....

The nucleus of the late, great jazz fusion giants Weather Report.I'd be curious if any of the GD were fans. I'm betting yes. David Gans, Blair Jackson, do you know? Was Weather Report Suite a reference to them? Inquisitive minds would like to know. Happy holidays.

Well, I made it throught the blizzard at Heathrow last week and said "That's it, no more traveling!" Yet here I am am at home in Vermont with a wicked Nor'easter dropping a full 12" or more and making life a little less delightful. I think we can look forwad to more of the same all winter and in future winters. It''s a trend! I used to love it more when I did outdoor winter sports (besides cleaning the car and driving to work!)

Cold and dry just became cold and snowy: from Manhattan, KS to Columbia, MO, anywhere from 5" to 9" blanketed the ground. Shoveling the drive off took an hour, then the slow drive to work...whew, time for a nap... and a cookie!!

North Carolina hasn't exactly been a joy this winter season (a white Christmas even!), especially if you are in the mountains (I'm not). But then again, I've got nothing to complain about when you stack it up against minus-anything F for a temperature. Stay warm, folks!

That the storm front caused by the Europe '72 brouhaha subsides and we see calmer weather in these parts come next week. Looks like high '50s and sunny for my part of NC this weekend, hoping that some of your snow gets to melt away, unkle sam. I work with a guy from Boone and they've had something like 19 snow days for school kids already this season. Not fun at all.
