Yes, there is rain in our near future. I hope we get some runoff water. Radar looks good for our area the next few days.

We don’t have to worry about anything like the moose in the swing, just critters like skunks coming out of the shadows.

[luvie]

Wow!!! That is quite amazing!...and dangerous!

[BykrBayb]

Wow, what an uplifting video. Nice ranger. Thanks for sharing him with the rest of the class! ;)

[Kathy in Alaska]

Rain??? Does this start a new cycle of growing?

[ConorMacNessa]

WOW!!!



Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

ROTF....he’s ready to be cut loose.

That moose looked REALLY REALLY tired and didn’t strike out. The ranger was lucky.

[Lady Jag]

You could tell by his breathing he was lucky to still be standing, poor moose. He didn’t actually run away, either. He walked fast and slowed down quickly.

God Bless the man.

Prayers said for Ray. He sounds like an extremely tough cookie that, Lord willing, we need around longer yet!

Father God,
We continue to petition You in prayer for the recovery of a great patriot, Ray Nadeau. Return him to wholeness, to his family, his friends in Christ and to his nation, we pray
in Jesus’ Name,
Amen!

(((((Sending Prayers)))))

[Bigg Red]

Good news about Ray. Thank you for the update.

[SoldierDad]

Ray Nadeau Update:

The most recent word regarding Ray is that he is speaking, and has called and spoke with the PGR Ride Captain for the Susanville PGR. This occurred this past Saturday. Ray's doctors believe that he suffered a concussion from the Aug 18 motorcycle accident that went undetected. This resulted in a blood clot that broke free, causing the stroke. He continues to remain in the Burbank, CA area to be near treatment. I will provide further updates as I soon as I get any more details. Thank you all for your continued prayers for Ray.

In Jesus’ Name,
Amen!
