They look like big black rabbits!

Those cubs kind of do the way they are running! The mother was pretty big, though - would NOT want to come across her while she was running scared for her cubs, lol.

This is the third bear in town sighting in Sevierville in the past month; one was climbing up the outer wall of a condo building and checking the porches for food:

And another was walking through downtown Gatlinburg a month ago:

Winter seems to be coming early this year, and the food supply was extremely low this year for them. They are getting desperate for food to survive the winter on.

I like how every Thanksgiving they give a little flashback to all the Slapsgivings before, lol.

Happy Thanksgiving Chorrol!

Today's menu at Casa Treydog-

Chicken and rice a la slow cooker (because Mrs. Treydog didn't want to messa about with turkey- and that's OK with me)

Mashed potatoes- with melted cheese

Cornbread dressing

Cherry Jell-O salad- because it's a classic and really easy to make- even a dachshund can manage it!

Hope everyone has a most wonderful day. And I give thanks for each and every one of you. Stay safe, be happy, be the wonderful folks you have all been for all these years.

Happy Turkey-Day!

As for me, I'll eat t-day lunch with my brother at a local all-you-can-eat buffet. We are the last surviving members of our immediate family. Neither of us cares a whit about cooking for ourselves beyond what can be heated in a microwave. Too, I have pretty much but not totally severed ties with 'decadent' food and drink. This will be the one time of the year I eat mashed potatoes, dressing, and cranberry sauce . . . unless we opt to dine at the same establishment X-mas day. (We sometimes eat our X-mas meal at a Chinese buffet. That's my preference, but I always defer to my brother in this regard.) Just water to drink for me thanks, whatever we go, and not only because I'm cheap. If it's not water or shim-milk I don't drink it. That's my motto. One thing for sure, I'll overeat. Thankfully, doing so will trigger no irresistible cravings for more of the same.

We'll go our separate ways immediately afterward. I've no other plans except to goof around on the web as I always do, and maybe watch my avatar continue his patrol of the Green if my health holds out.

Happy Thanksgiving to all! Even though it is a 'Merican holiday, best wishes also to those who hail from across the oceans and, in some cases, even the equator. I am reminded how thankful I am for all my fellow chorrolites!

I baked a frozen pumpkin pie yesterday and Mrs Acadian made a big pot of chicken soup. So we're set for a nice quiet day at home with a cozy fire in the fireplace.

With teenagers still living at home we had the full-on turkey feast. It looks like a Thanksgiving bomb went off in my kitchen. Most of the stuff is on the clean side of the sink now, so the wine portion of my day is within sight.

After dinner I took a break to join the family outside where they were shooting arrows at a target. Thanksgiving must bring out the not-pilgrim part of their heritage. It looked easy so I asked to try. I hit the center, but I also punched myself right in the nose. Grits is not ready for the Tournament of Archers!

Sounds like most of you guys have stuffed your faces quite good during the holiday

I did. A full salad bowl with all the fixins and yummy thousand island dressing. (I wish I could find bottled thousand isle in stores that tastes as good as that.) Both light and dark turkey meat. (The dark was quite tasty, the light somewhat bland but okay.) A too big scoop of suitably thick mashed potatoes topped with a bit of thick brown gravy. Rather bland dressing. Your average restaurant cranberry sauce. Surprisingly tasty green beans. A very good small bowl of broccoli / cheese soup. (Possibly my favorite disk of the meal.) Water. (Tasted like water.) A tasteless roll, as most seem to be at restaurants these days. No dessert of any sort. (I went cold turkey on traditional sweets years ago, a practice I have stuck to with religious zeal ever since. For what its worth my brother also forwent dessert, though in his case he simply didn't much care for any of the restaurants numerous sweet offerings.)

My bro and I went our separate ways immediately after the meal. Turns out we have BOTH been feeling poorly for some time, with a few overlapping symptoms. He confessed that he had contemplated canceling our holiday lunch get-together but felt just recovered enough to go through with it. I confessed the same, though in my case it's not so much being recovered as having one of my better days, with symptoms ignorably mild.

Due to the heavy lunch, supper consisted of a whole Fuji apple and a small glass of Skim Milk, along with my evening migraine preventative dosage and evening medicated inhaler treatment.

Seems to me you could have used a dessert, Decrepit. If only to wash down all the meds...


Best wishes to you and your brother

SorryI haven't been on much

Hi, Kobby! *waves* I hope you had a nice Thanksgiving.

It was okay. I hope your thanksgiving was good too
