Caribou shed their velvet from their antlers, and the males drop their antlers in November. I was lucky to see this guy standing so proudly in the park...
Here's some info I got online to share with you.
Do caribou shed their velvet?
After insect numbers decline in August, caribou scatter out and feed heavily on willow leaves and mushrooms to regain body weight. The shedding of velvet (the fur covering on antlers) by large bulls in late August and early September marks the approach of the rutting (breeding) season and the start of fall migration.

This was taken a few years ago, and it took me a while to post/share on Flickr for a few reasons, and now I guess it's time.
Update 10/23 - I just added this photo to one of the groups; I know that this pic was taken a while back, and it kept taking me to this photo, which I thought I should share. :)
Here are a few of my collections on my caribou photos throughout the years that I have been in the park and Alaska.
One handsome dude just posing for the camera - THANK YOU!!!

Way up on the ridgeline I spotted this single caribou - must have to look for the rest of its herd, or just out for a snack by itself

Here are a few of my collections on my caribou photos throughout the years that I have been in the park and Alaska.
I took this photo at the end of the summer of 2019. Caribou are out and about and getting ready for rutting season. So amazing how proud this caribou is just roaming around its turf, just beautiful!!
I fell in love with nature and wildlife since I first stepped in Alaska years back; that FIRST TIME was my last time being a city girl, and I decided to relocate from the east coast to Alaska.
Every year, every time I go into the park, it's always a different scenario. Yesterday was always a new face from last week and not the same as today - just like life, but you'll remember all those days that make you smile or...move on!
...and to that - I am grateful!

I've always liked the 7 Eleven name; shame there are none in my area.
For those who aren't in the know, courtesy of Wikipedia: 7 Eleven began in 1927 as the Southland Ice Company. A few years later, they were called Tote'm Stores after someone brought a totem pole from Alaska and placed it out in front of one of the stores, and because customers could "tote" away their purchases. In 1946, the company underwent a recovery effort which included expanding their store hours from 7 AM until 11 PM, thus the name "7 Eleven"

There's not a lot to be said about her - she only lasted 14 issues in the 90's - but she's also an enemy of the Ray and a Justice League member - a roster I've been trying to complete. Not a huge addition, but a necessary one that I think turned out pretty okay!
Really, it's just a picture of teabags. Not of me teabagging you (which, for those who don't know, can be a common occurrence in multiplayer videogames these days -- you get shot in the face, and then your foe comes and squats up and down on said face while you lay supine, waiting to respawn; hence, the enemy is virtually teabagging you).
This is a Tazo ginger green tea.
For those who don't know, green tea actually has a stomach-upsetting side effect. For the longest time, I thought I was allergic. I'd drink green tea, and my guts would get all woozy. Then my head would follow. I'd feel queasy for a half-hour, maybe an hour, then it'd go away. And I'd stare ruefully at the green tea, and I eventually gave up drinking it.
Except, duh. I found out this is not at all an uncommon side effect. In fact, drinking green tea on an upset stomach might have you yarfing (that's a technical, medical term, "yarfing") in record time. Some people say it's the caffiene, which doesn't seem right because coffee doesn't necessarily make people sick on an empty stomach -- so, I'm going to go ahead and guess that it's the polyphenols that are doing it.
You can either drink green tea after having some food, or, if that's not possible, have a variety that includes mint or ginger -- both of these will help to settle the stomach, ideally preventing the Yarf Syndrome (sometimes known in medical circles as "The Technicolor Yawn").
Otherwise, green tea's generally pretty good for you. Its caffiene metabolizes differently from coffee, so you don't get as jacked up. It helps inhibit cancer growth. It gives you superpowers, allows you to punch cars into the atmosphere. It improves sexy-time performance. It allows you to see into the future. It lets you do 10 minutes of error-free trigonometry. It gets you drunk. It gets you crunk. It punches dragons. Green tea is great stuff.
As you well know, we’re headed back to the Horn Lake Schnucks Kroger as a continuation of our photoset from there this Saturday. In advance of that, here’s this week’s teaser photo: not of the Kroger itself, but instead its fuel center, located at the corner of the property (northeast corner of Goodman and Horn Lake Roads). We’re viewing it here from the Walgreens lot across the street – which was the subject of my teaser pic two weeks ago, you’ll recall!
Something interesting here is that this isn’t your regular everyday Kroger Fuel Center, but a specifically branded KwikShop. That’s because it has a convenience store attached (which was built by Albertsons – just like the main store itself – and retains some characteristic architectural traits of that era, too). I’m sure I’ve probably mentioned this before by now, but long story short, KwikShops didn’t exist in the Mid-South until the Schnucks sellout in 2011, as Kroger normally doesn’t build convenience stores along with its store-based fuel centers. But in taking over the Schnucks stores (which themselves were former Seessel’s), they weren’t going to NOT operate the packaged convenience stores as part of the deal, so they simply introduced the KwikShop branding to the region to take care of that. As a result, KwikShop’s Mississippi and Tennessee locations are the only ones outside of its original home base of Kansas, Nebraska, and Iowa (where it was founded as an operating division of Dillons). #TheMoreYouKnow
And as an update to another of my recent teasers… the DeSoto Times-Tribune caught on to half of a local retail news tidbit I gave you guys, it appears. But unlike them, we know the rest of the story! ;)
See you guys this weekend…

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
My dear friend Derrick Tyson has been so kind as to interview me for his magazine Sinescope.
I had these posted on flickr till my account expired, now they are all hidden, as are the stories behind them....
but follow the link above, and you'll get all the details...
Whew – with that long description out of the way, only two more to go tonight, lol! This photo, as I’m sure you were immediately able to tell, is quite different than what I normally post. I’m sharing this because of the recent news that Sprint and T-Mobile are seeking to merge.
My parents and I are Sprint customers, and have been for longer than I’ve been alive, I believe. I like Sprint partially due to this loyalty, and mainly because they’re not AT&T (lol)… but there’s no denying that they’re not the best by any means either, especially since their coverage in our region is rather poor. (Even worse, go further south down into the Mississippi Delta, and you’ll only get about negative three bars, haha!) To be sure, their coverage elsewhere in the country is much better, and that works well for my dad, as Sprint has a discount deal worked out with his employer. That said, I’m all for this merger in the hopes that it will live up to its promise to increase coverage in more rural and underserved areas.
The sad thing in all this, at least in my opinion, is that the combined company (if, of course, the merger is approved) will be called T-Mobile, meaning that the Sprint name will be put out of commission after such a long run :( Those sorts of things are always upsetting to me, especially when the companies affected have a storied history (the Sprint name has been around since the 70s, and as a matter of fact started out as an acronym for “Southern Pacific Railroad Internal Network Telephony”… #TheMoreYouKnow ).
Which brings me to what is pictured here… as a result of a conversation I was having over winter break, I decided to dig through our closet and photograph every single one of my dad’s past cell phones XD They’re in (what I believe to be) chronological order, from left to right. He just recently ditched his LG G3 – the one on the right in this shot – for a new Samsung Galaxy, but other than that… the gang’s all here! Check out that brick on the left XD And the funny part is – we call that a brick, but look at it; it’s actually smaller than that LG G3!! Crazy how these things got smaller and smaller, only now to be reversing course and becoming practically tablet-sized.
What I especially like about the older phones in this pic is their incorporation of the Sprint logo onto the phones themselves (including the old 1987-2005 logo on that leftmost phone). Nowadays, that’s not done for practicality reasons, given there’s no “front side” to smartphones… but also, I feel like it’s not done simply because there’s no loyalty these days. Providers clamor strictly for new business only, and leave longtime customers in the dust.
As I’ve noted (and this photo proves), we’ve been with Sprint for a very long time, but we don’t get any discounts for our loyalty. In fact, we don’t even get to continue to be users of Sprint’s now-former two-year plan. Used to, we could buy our phones outright, own them ourselves, and then get a new one at any point after two years. Now, that’s been eliminated; Sprint offers only lease plans. My dad actually bought his newest phone through Sam’s Club, which technically also offers only lease plans, but set up in such a way that you can buy out the lease in whole after a couple of weeks pass. Sprint is still our provider, but this marks the first phone he didn’t purchase from them directly… precisely because he wasn’t given the option to do so.
Unfortunately, that’s just the market these days, and there’s nothing I can really do about it… so I apologize for going off on a tangent and ranting, but this trend just does not sit well with me. In addition to the aforementioned coverage issues, I’d really like to see this Sprint/T-Mobile merger make a concerted effort to focus more time on the neglected realm of customer retention.
Sincerely, a loyal Sprint customer.

The first incarnation of the lollipop was probably invented by our cave-dwelling ancestors, who collected honey from beehives with sticks. In order to not waste any of the sweet nectar they had collected, these cavepeople probably ended up licking the sticks, perhaps creating the earliest form of the lollipop.
Historians and archaeologists believe that many ancient civilizations, including the Egyptians, Arabians and the Chinese used to preserve fruits, nuts and other confections by covering them with honey. Sticks were inserted in these concoctions to make them easier to eat and keep your hands from getting all sticky. This practical invention is so simple that historians believe the lollipop could have been invented and reinvented numerous times throughout the course of human history.

This is the exact spot where I tried to hide the other day....and exactly as much open floor space as there is in the kitchen where I tried to hide.
Today was....trying.
My back has been sore for days. I don't really know why. But today it was Killing Me. It hurt so badly I couldn't think.
I got in a fight with someone I really care about....and I honestly don't know if it was my fault or both of us.
I'm dodging calls from my family in hopes of avoiding stress.
Anna and I were pretty much fighting all day, too. I was thinking I should start tagging my photos whenever she and I get in a fight. It's daily, I think. We sit around and call each other names and threaten bodily harm and generally act like 8 year old boys. It's great. We never stay mad long, but I feel sorry for the people who have to listen to us.
We took photos of Anna today because we're going to get our hair cut and I wanted to do something awesome with her hair before she cuts any off. I'll post photos in the morning. It is seriously amazing. I have such hair envy of her sometimes.
I was checking out the snow from the window at work. Two of us couldn't figure out what these weird super fat birds were hanging out. Apparently we're just not that smart & they're not actually fat but cold instead. #themoreyouknow
WEEK 51.2 – Southaven Burlington Relocation: New Store, Set III
Here's a look down the left-side actionway toward the front of the store. (I'm making a conscious effort to use “toward” here, even though I prefer “towards.” I looked it up, and apparently the “-s” is a British thing; Americans do without the extra letter at the end. That goes for similar words as well, like forward, backward, upward, downward, and afterward, according to Google. To me, though, those all sound weird without the “-s.” Just sayin'. #TheMoreYouKnow)
...With that out of the way, here's another Sports Authority comparison shot for you, although I believe that was taken a bit further up.
