One sees great
things from the valley;
only small things
from the peak.
~ G.K.
Chesterton
Saturday morning we
found several elk drinking at the stream.
They went up the hillside and began
to cross the road as cars sped by.
The adults and another
baby were able to jump the fence
but this little one was
left behind. He was VERY vocal!!!
His mother came back twice
for him.
He finally managed to safely get
under the fence!
You can see why we have so many
traffic accidents with our abundant elk.

37A great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat,
so that the boat was already being swamped. 38But he
was in the stern, asleep on the cushion; and they woke him up and said to him,
"Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?"
Mark 4:35-41
"Still"
The British Navy has strange
custom. If there is a sudden disaster aboard ship, the "still" is blown. Now
this particular still is not a place where whiskey is made, but it's a whistle
that calls the crew to a moment of silence in a time of crisis. When the still
is blown, people aboard know that it means, "Prepare to do the wise thing."
Observers of this system note that the moment of calm has helped avert many a
catastrophe. It has prevented many scatterbrained actions.
