Nice video of the St Bernards. Looked like there were wet and dry types . We had a dry types as our site mascot back in the day. Dry types are less bulky than the wet types. Ours weighed 135 pounds.

ETA…the types of St. Bernards are short hair and long hair. Not wet and dry.

We enjoy seeing moose around our house on occasion. I’m squeamish about being in the field when they show themselves, since I didn’t grow up around moose. I once observed a bull come into the area, and as he covered ground (they cover ground in an unreal fashion – very quickly), the deer and even the bucks would jump up about 600 yards in front of him and GTFOutOfDodge.
My now dead black lab mix once chased the biggest cow and calf you’ve ever seen out of our yard, when we had 3plus feet of snow. The cow came into the yard, and Theo charged her at full speed. Momma moose turned on a dime, and beat a fast retreat off the 30 acres! You have to love the courage of dogs.

Note the raw/scare marks on the back of the rear legs. Suspect this guy purposefully chose this location to get away from/due to being harassed by hungry predators, likely wolf. Grassy median, good strategy.

Not dry. Not wet. Moist and slobbering.

Saw one out in the marsh next to the Seward Highway last September. It was a monster with a beard that drug on the ground.

Welcome to the New American Digest: 2001-2022

Who Am I? by Carl Sandburg

My head knocks against the stars.
 My feet are on the hilltops.
 My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of universal life. 
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I reach my hands and play with pebbles of destiny. 
I have been to hell and back many times.
 I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God. 
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible. 
I know the passionate seizure of beauty 
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive  in the universe.

Take It Where You Find It

Men saw the stars at the edge of the sea
They thought great thoughts about liberty
Poets wrote down words that did fit
Writers wrote books
Thinkers thought about it
Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

Many’s the road I have walked upon
Many’s the hour between dusk and dawn
Many’s the time
Many’s the mile
I see it all now
Through the eyes of a child

Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

[Chorus]
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America
Lost dreams and found dreams
In America
In America
In America

And close your eyes
Leave it all for a while
Leave the world
And your worries behind
You will build on whatever is real
And wake up each day
To a new waking dream

Take it where you find it
Can’t leave it alone
You will find a purpose
To carry it on
Mainly when you find it
Your heart will be strong
About it

[Chorus]
Change, change come over
Change come over
Talkin’ about a change
Change, change
Change come over, now
Change, change, change come over

I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I’m gonna walk down the street
Until I see
My shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
I see my light
See my light
See my shining light
