Unfortunately the link to the Juneau Empire story is no longer valid.
The rest of my research indicates that with the exception that it is Tlingit in origin it may not be the auction lot referred to.
Happy? Please?
I’m watching the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets and Clemson Tigers (South Carolina). Despite Clemson being ahead 14 3 at half time, it is more a game of which team is making more mistakes than more talent on Clemson’s part. I doubt either one will make it to the playoffs beginning December 31, 2022 (I think / I haven’t yet learned to read the schedule properly).
5 minutes left in the game, Clemson 34 Georgia Tech 10. I’m going away.
I still won’t say the Tigers have more talent and skills than the Yellow Jackets though.
I do hope the Crimson Tide Longhorns game at noon eastern time this Saturday is closer and better played.
I tried several times yesterday (today) to post it up and i didn’t get it up until later in the afternoon.
So i’m going to post at again today (yesterday) so no one misses it. 🙂

In profile, the BIG GUY looks a bit like my Uncle Abe.
A few years ago, I heard Hugh Jackman interviewed on a late night talk show. He told a very funny story about walking through a mall with his then pre-teenage son. The boy said to him, pointing, “look, dad! Major babes at 2:00 o’clock!” He looks, and it’s a gaggle of 12-13 year old girls. He shrugs and thinks “yeah, alright.” His son then walks up to the girls and says “my dad is Wolverine. Would you like to meet him?”
Doggers and Weimaraner’s very first musical collaboration!
A great way to start…. by creating the enduringly popular “Oklahounda”.
…..
So many memories!
I confess, some of this I have told before….
My parents bought the stage musical recording of Oklahounda when I was very little, then took us all to see the movie when it was new.
They loved it… and I grew up loving it too …
…
Listening to the albums… the stage production on 78’s and later the film version on vinyl…
And singing (very badly!) those now well-known tunes….
imitating Gloria Grrram’s twangy howling of “I’m Just a Dog Who Cain’t Hear ‘No!”
…
And even trying to do high kicks like the impossibly-limber-for-a-basset Charlotte Greenbone’s Old Aunt Yeller…
(I loved watching her in anything she did!)
….
And of course, I attempted to sing duets with myself…
.
Alternating a no doubt off-key childish tenor for Gordy MacHound, with a squeaky falsetto for the lovely Shirley JoBasset….
(Not that my singing has actually changed much, except for maybe being a little less childish…)
….
“Don’t put… your paw on mine….”
“But I saw…. how you gnaw on mine….”
“No! Don’t put… your paw on mine…
People will say I’m in heat!”
……
I haven’t seen Oklahounda in years…
This revival may, to some, be considered hopelessly old fashioned…
But I’m so glad to be getting another chance!
And in glorious CanineColor®!

0⁰ F = -17.777…⁰C Minus 40⁰ C, and 40⁰ below zero F are the same temperature.
Under standard conditions the boiling point of water is 212⁰ F or 100⁰ C; its freezing/melting* (to or from its solid state) point is 32⁰ F or 0⁰ C
*For day to day purposes the same; in a laboratory there is a small difference that must be taken into account (too, remember altitude and air pressure affect the boiling and freezing/melting temperature points of any liquid or solid).
As a kid living in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota, I can say it got hot even back then. However, an occasional hot day then is weeks now. I agree, it’s changing, and not for the better.
I know that I’ve told this story a few times, so if you’ve heard it…
About 35 years ago, a circus lost a baby elephant into the mountains surrounding Idabel Oklahoma. The little rascle (darn, neither spelling looks right) stayed lost for 3-4 months and the inhabitants feared the worst. As the temperture started to fall off in the, uh, Fall, he wandered into civilized areas and was sent home.
A local radio personality remarked that he had been out measuring the corn.
Nice, but sad to see Art looking so frail…
i love surprises!
…i know what that is.
Haida mask?
If you know more… share!
All I can find is this from 2014.

I’m not so sure now.
It looked very PNW to me.
That was as far as I could take it too…

For Pete’s sake – use spoilers!
Pete who?
The Gatekeeper of the Pearly Gates.
My impression is that this is staged, but it’s still funny.

Th e humans can’t approach the bassets when it comes to howling OO OO OOklahomma.And the bassetts are much cuter.
you’ve got your avatar back! hooray!

Thanks, Stel!
Probably nobody has noticed, but I’ve been posting even later than usual in the past week or so…
I’m also later than usual answering email, if I owe you any… and doing anything useful….
…
You see, we’re in another heat wave… at least the third one in about six weeks, and the worst so far.
It was 90° to 102°F for days… but for yesterday and today, the predictions were for 104°, with extreme heat warnings..
I didn’t check, yesterday (sometimes I just dowanna know)
but today my weather app showed 106° at nearly 5pm, which is when it has usually started cooling.
And it said BOTH days topped out at 109°!
That’s almost 43°C for you Celsius guys.
….
My kitchen gets too hot to make dinner, and I don’t want it anyway, till past 10pm,
and it’s still too hot to sit at the computer before that.
Days like this used to be isolated… not any more.
Anybody who doesn’t believe in climate change needs to visit Santa Rosa.
….
Yet we’re still convinced we don’t need air conditioning in N CA houses…. right…
…
Plods posted his weather the other day… let’s see if I can post mine… I haven’t updated it since I checked it then…

Is it Altitude per se, or the air pressure caused by Altitude?
We’ve learned to appreciate AC in South Korea with high humidity…
AC is unusual here in Germany. But with those temperatures, there should be a law.
There is, actually – but it applies only to a few organized.
The law of thermodynamics?
I get it. We (OREGON!) haven’t had measurable rain in two months! Frightening.
There’s a serious drought here in several parts of Germany, too.
we’re under a horrible heat wave, plus all the smoke from all the fires! and, we, too, don’t have a/c….. it never gets hot in montana! right!
As a kid living in the southern Black Hills of South Dakota, I can say it got hot even back then. However, an occasional hot day then is weeks now. I agree, it’s changing, and not for the better.
our summers used to average 15 days over 90. so far this summer we’ve had 25!
coffee ice cream
Anytime, any kind.
yum!
Oklahounda…snerks I like it. Lotsa baying at the moon.
Good morning Poster phanatics and Stel phans!
Quick hit today… Taking mom on her errands shortly.
Y’all have a great day. (((((HuGz!)))))
what a great son!
oh, stel. you’ve really come up with a great poster! from the shy shirley jobasset to the gorgeous gordy machound, this is superb!
loved all the music and even the third rock cast! what a fun day!
oh, and you topped it all off with the galloping bison…..my all time favorite wild animal!!!

Rascal
I never knew there were mountains in Oklahoma
This is one of my favorite posters. Love the expressions on their faces ~ you can feel the love. The colors are gorgeous. Very well done!
