The teaser for Disney’s “Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales” was first seen during last night’s Super Bowl. We can only hope the movie is as good as it looks. BTW. Congrats to Tom Brady and the New England Patriots for their win, and to the Atlanta Falcons for a great game, and to Lady Gaga for keeping her mouth shut except to sing, and to President Donald Trump for predicting the win. 8 points, Mr. President. Huuuge!! And to 84Lumber, let me add my prediction. You won’t be getting any of the contracts for building “The Wall” on our Mexican Border any time soon.

The Pioneer Cabin Tree, one of California’s oldest tourist attractions and a beloved specimen of a rare California native species, fell Sunday in Calaveras Big Trees State Park.
A combination of trunk and root decay and storm water runoff appears to have brought the giant sequoia down at its base, shattering it and a nearby cedar tree. No one was hurt. The trees fell when the trail to the giant sequoia was closed.
Not wanting to end up stuffing the cat with his own entrails, Akeley raised his rifle and fired twice, but he missed both times. On his third shot, the bullet grazed the leopard, sending the feline into a frenzy. Enranged, the big cat screamed and charged the American, all teeth and bad attitude, ready to take his revenge.
Terrified out of his mind, Akeley pulled the trigger a fourth time, only to realize that he was out of bullets. Downright desperate, Akeley tried to flee, loading cartridges into his rifle as he ran. Working the bolt, he turned to shoot, only to see the leopard flying through the air, fangs bared. Fortunately, Akeley’s first shot had wounded one of the cat’s back paws. Thanks to the bullet, the leopard’s jump was a bit off, giving Akeley enough time to throw up his hands. The cat sank its jaws into the man’s forearm, and the two started wrestling back and forth, fighting for their lives. Eventually, the man and cat grew weak and tumbled to the ground. Finally, he managed to strangle the leopard with his left hand while ramming his right arm down the leopard’s throat.
One bright day in late autumn a family of Ants were bustling about in the warm sunshine, drying out the grain they had stored up during the summer, when a starving Grasshopper, his fiddle under his arm, came up and humbly begged for a bite to eat.
Not to be outdone, the pesky squirrel ambling by decided to jump for the grain bin and help himself. He missed and hung himself for the winter by his very ownliest nuts. Ouch! You can figure out the moral of this story for yourself.
