It’s currently -9F in Ely, MN. It was -17F with snow in Lily’s black bear den this morning. She continues to coddle and cuddle her newborn cub, denying us a peek at the little tusker....

The webcam is up and down, kinda like FR, these days...

;-)

I don’t think that we’ll get a peek for another couple of weeks....

Finally....Friday!!

REST IN PEACE, FALLEN BROTHER!

HM/2(FMF) Xin Qi, USN, KIA Afghanistan, 23JAN2010

I have fought a good fight,
I have finished my course,
I have kept the faith.
2 Timothy 4:7 (KJV)

Eternal Father, Strong to Save



Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in peace!
We who remain hold you in high honor.
Rest, fallen brother, in this sacred precinct;
We who remain keep this place sacred.
Rest, fallen brother, among these, your comrades;
We who remain keep the watch.
Rest, fallen brother, amid these who heeded the Nation’s call;
We who remain press the fight forward in your name.
Rest, fallen brother, lay down thy burden;
We who remain have taken up the torch.
Rest in Peace, fallen brother, rest in eternal peace!
