But since there are about 8 of them, I'd guess yes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlim Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Now I have to pull out the Alaska pictures I took. As soon as we got into Denali we spotted a female moose with two calves. That made the entire trip worthwhile because what I really wanted to see was any moose - male, female, I didn't care. I don't remember if I got a picture. I referred to my travel journal to check what baby moose are called - calves is the proper term. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urmas Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 [snip]If a bull moose is castrated, either by accidental or chemical means, he will quickly shed his current set of antlers and then immediately begin to grow a new set of misshapen and deformed antlers that he will wear the rest of his life without ever shedding again.[/snip]http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zlim Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 We were very fortunate. On our day in Denali, we saw everything. Even the tour guide was excited because she got to see a hoary marmot. At least from all the animals we saw, I think that's the one that is rarely seen. Moose are real because this yank has seen them. Though I have never seen a white or albino moose. I was just thrilled to see the brown variety.I looked through my pictures but I don't have a shot of the moose and her calves, though the image lives on in my mind, despite some things fading from my memory. That's one of the reasons I always keep a journal when I travel. Even a mundane day spent driving or riding on a bus or train has a few memorable moments and reading the journal always brings back those forgotten memories.

Urmas Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 To fix the horrible...yes, I said horrible...thread drift that happened here...Hve you been studying Finnish, Sue? The - OK, one - Finnish word for "horrible" is "hirveä". Literal translation "mooselike". Derived from "hirvi" - "moose". A monster? Hirviö ("mooselike critter").Urmas - hirveä hirviö (a horrible monster) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cybrmat Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 Alpha..Were did you get that background? I really like it.. I would but my system does not change very much (other than the background changes every hour).I usually only take snapshots after a major update of some sort...as self evidence that my frankenstein setup actually works.Anyway, here is the most recent.slackware current. kernel 2.6.32.5, kde 4.3.4, xorg 1.4.2, nvidia 71.86.11Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

réjean Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 (edited) Not sure this will work. I have been having problems with ImageShack in the last few days.This is a watercolour that my wife painted some years ago. It has nothing to do with our own place. I just like the cheerfulness of it. Edited February 1, 2010 by réjean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zlim Posted January 31, 2010 Share Posted January 31, 2010 réjean, I like your wife's watercolor. It is nice and cheerful, reminding me that winter will eventually end - soon I hope! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

réjean Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 Well, like I said Eric, something has changed at Imageshack in the last few days. I have a link on my portal but when I click on it now I get a " Done " after a while but I don't see anything but a white page. Now if I put Imageshack in the yahoo search I am directed to my own Imageshack.All I wanted was to put a little thumbnail here and have people who want to see it get directed to Imageshack.I'll see if I can change the url, the way it is supposed to be working.

réjean Posted February 1, 2010 Share Posted February 1, 2010 (edited) Thanks Eric but I think that in the meantime I had uploaded a new picture to Imageshack and copied and pasted the right kind of link into my post.Anyway, the main thing is that it is now working fine which is the most important.

V.T. Eric Layton Posted February 1, 2010 Author Share Posted February 1, 2010 Yup. You want that "Embed thumbnails of this image - Forums" link. That's the one that makes the thumbnails at I-Shack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
