Cool story..a couple of years ago when we visited Yellowstone, ospreys had built a nest right on top of a little red spire down lower on the Canyon walls...I only saw one, but it was absolutely stunning to watch it flying around below us.
God bless you! I'm sorry for your losses especially so close together.sad post, but this has always been a good place for venting things -
I lost my Dad yesterday after a long struggle with Parkinson’s. And today would be my Mom’s 80th bday, but she passed last fall, succumbing to Alzheimer’s.
So, just an observation from undergoing two soul-battering deaths fairly back-to-back: We all need to spend more time loving on each other and less time worried about what makes us different. We should find the things that unify us and celebrate them and not dwell so much on the divisive things. Democrat, Republican, white, black - whatever: we’re all neighbors, friends, Vol fans, and most importantly- the most amazing creations In the entire known universe. The other little annoying things seem quite insignificant in light of that last fact.
Prayers and condolences. Truly tough losing a parent.sad post, but this has always been a good place for venting things -

If it was in the water then it was probably resting in between trys of getting out. Those things are extremely powerfulA guy I know tried to "rescue" one before and since he didn't know what he was doing the osprey messed him up bad. You cannot look at them in the eye, for example. He didn't know that.
Sorry brother, prayers sent.sad post, but this has always been a good place for venting things -

Feeling much better, but it’s just been a very odd Summer through and through.Oh, no. How are y'all doing?

I recently graduated with my Master’s degree and have been looking for a job, but there just had been very little in the way of opportunities (Thought I might have a job waiting at UT, but looks like all the uncertainty killed the position), so I have been staying with my mom as I continue my search. She went through a divorce at the end of last year and although things had got better between them, things took a turn for the worse and her ex-husband sold the house on short notice. My mom is having a house built which was supposed to be done in early June, but it has been delayed to the point where it won’t be ready till early August. Literally the day before we had to be out of the house, my mom fell ill and my sister who was in town took her to a clinic to see what was up. My mom tested positive for Flu A, strep throat, and Covid-19, so due to exposure, we had to all head to my sister’s studio apartment in downtown Nashville which is where I’ve been the last week.
So that’s my life
