    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.

Here in lovely Oakland, we're in the midst of what we're told is the first of several big storms. This one is certainly living up to expectations and causing all manner of trouble in various Bay Area locales, making me real glad I work at home. Took the dogs for a walk because they insisted, and they certainly are nice and clean now!

It's been absurdly cold for the past couple of days here in Joisey. This morning I saw on the TV that in a couple of days, it's going to be absurdly warm. Warm enough for golf. Goody for me, but what can I say, I'm just a hopeless golf junkie. I also saw reported that they were expecting ten feet of snow out in the Sierras. Yow! I always wondered what hurricanes would be like if they were creatures of the cold, rather than creatures of the warm. I guess some of you will get to find out, and maybe the uniqueness of that opportunity can be a silver lining for you. Good luck. Isn't anyone else still playing False Alarm? At 2 for 2, I was just starting to have fun. Conversation is always more interesting than recitation, so speak your mind and not someone else's.

they were the first band i saw live.jaco was still alive and playing like a wiz.that was 1976 when black market came out.the venue was stuttgart,west germany.heavily improvised music but as jerry once said,everybody seemed to be playing to himself.only once in a while there were short moments of "playing in the band!but that were only moments.....nothing like the euphoria in a dead concert when you would suddenly see the universe open up on you.hmm,these guy were perfect in their way for sure....but was it fun for the listeners?yes,the weather..i am in the czech republic an it is very icy....

After 8 weeks of snow and ice and sub-freezing temps in Colorado, I got back to Sandy Eggo on Sunday and it's been great to be warm again! I had almost forgotten how much I like the sunshine!

Snow, snow and more snow. Kids are hoping for a snow day but 3-4 inches might not do it. I get to go to work and I really hate this weather--feel it in my bones as I get older. Nine more years of auto assembly and I am headed to Arizona or New Mexico--away from Michigan. However, tomorrow is our primary and I will get out to vote.

Wind chill close to zero, actual temp around 20 degrees. Not much snow though only a couple inches, more on the way.

Right now we are lucky if the temp gets into the 20's, low will be around 0. Too cold for the kids to go outside. Boys are playing XBox and my daughter is curled up on the couch in her jams and comforter reading a book. Warms my heart because she reminds me of her mother.

here, Steve-o, the temps are in the single digits this evening on the great plains and the wind is whistling down from the north and in from the east and over from the west. Maybe if we got a little in from the south, it might warm a bit. We are "out in the cold rain and snow". :-)

I don't see rain coming anytime soon. 10 degrees this morn, wind chill is -8. A couple more inches of snow fell overnight, but not as much as we thought. Maybe we are going to get a little lucky with this one. Although the lake effect snow warning is in effect until tomorrow morn. We are "out in the cold snow".
