One way to provide a nature reserve
Let the record show that snow continues to fall. With the record, please append that I am not performing a “happy dance”. Meanwhile, rivers in the area are either flooding or intending to. Exception: somewhere in the Ancienne-Lorette area, where the mayor has installed some large sandbags. The other mayor is now in a frenzy.
On the news, avoiding footage from the Ukraine is difficult. I decided to opt for something different, and watched a documentary from the area. Specifically, the sector near Chernobyl. Although humans avoid the area, animals are unable (or unwilling) to read the various warning signs. A thriving wilderness has returned, for what may be the first time in centuries, and the documentary let me know about the success of the wolf population. Lovely animals, and their dialogue left our “wanna be” perplexed. Why were they howling, instead of barking? And why were they leaving those litters of puppies to be handled by humans (visitors to the area)? Uncaring parents?
Actually, just about everything is doing well in the area, despite an overdose of radioactive isotopes (I’m not sure of the correct term; nuclear physics was not on my high school curriculum). The flora and fauna show little effect. I particularly enjoyed seeing a wild boar cross the trail, followed by a wolf that had been earlier distracted by bison and moose. The Exclusion Zone is now a paradise.
The taxation people have fixed their servers, and my excuses for not submitting returns are diminishing, hour by hour.
