Beau Peep Notice Board

I was inside with the door ajar. 

My daughter is a Land's Officer and had to leave a job due to two bears just the other day. They (2 of them) decided to do a helicopter inspection instead LOL 

ZERO added sugar. ZERO alcohol. ZERO processed food.

EVERY DAY: nuts, berries, fruit, cruciferous vegetables, other vegetables, ground flax seeds, turmeric and other spices, beans, whole grains.

EXERCISE and STRETCHING.

Hug a tree every now and then.

You won't live forever but it will seem like it.

As for things to do, look up into the sky at the constellation of Orion, where you will see the star Betelgeuse. Born ten million years ago, and giving off every second 100,000 times the energy of our sun, Betelgeuse will - tomorrow or some time in 10,000 years - come to the end of its life, and will go supernova. When it does, it will give off in ten seconds far more energy than it ever did during its lifetime. You'll certainly notice the difference in the night sky.

The supernova happens because during the last day of its life, Betelgeuse fuses some of its heavier elements into a gravity-crushed ball of iron about the size of our Earth but heavier than our own sun. This ball of iron then collapses under gravity. In the next four-thousandths of a second, the iron accelerates inwards to a quarter the speed of light (168 million miles per hour). In the one thousandth of a second after that, it is decelerated to a standstill.

So, eat well, get out, get running, and look at the stars.

I take it these are black bears, Diane? From what I can gather, they're not quite as aggressive as grizzlies but have certainly been known to attack people. That last photo of the bear staring at you is more than a little unnerving. I hope you were behind a thick glass door when you took it!

That's scary, Diane. I mean, REALLY scary! It must be hugely disturbing to have animals around that will actually attack you and not just as a defensive, last resort. As I've mentioned before, the only dangerous creatures where I grew up were adders and they had no interest in you unless you stepped on one of them. I'm not sure how I would handle 800lbs of teeth and claws coming at me. It would certainly involve an expensive laundry bill.

I hear that Trump is putting a $250 pp entry visa on us Canadians crossing the border this fall - not sure if it will go through or not because he waffles a lot. This is the first year that more Americans have visited Canada than Canadians have visited America (tariffs).

We are under extra stress in Alberta as we are lead by a right-wing nut-job who wants to separate Alberta from Canada
