first snow 2024

first snow

here we go

temps will drop

winds will blow

car won’t start

late for work

snowplow man

what a jerk

but wait a sec

it’s not that bad

i didn’t mean

to make you sad

the holidays

are almost here

a gift of joy

a time of cheer

and so i hope

you understand

i love the winter

wonderland

others

nero blamed the christians

hitler blamed the jews

and now we blame the immigrants–

this isn’t something new.

well, nero died of suicide

as did hitler too–

when will we learn that ‘others’

are folks like me and you?

Meet the Blynx

I took this photo about a year ago of what I thought was a mama lynx, but since then, a friend of mine from the DNR told me it’s an extremely rare blynx– a hybrid between a lynx and a bobcat. The first one was discovered in Minnesota in 2003, but they put a tracking collar on it that was too tight, and the poor cat starved to death. Since then, they’ve been found in Maine and Michigan as well.

there once was a bobcat named jinx

who had a hot date with a lynx,

and the two, in a rush,

took a roll in the brush,

and promptly created the blynx
