What about that Chinese place you mentioned in Springfield? Is it too far from Branson?

Yikes! A bear that attacked a man in Pennsylvania this week was confirmed to have rabies, officials said Thursday. The Pennsylvania Game Commission said on Facebook that the bear "aggressively approached" a man in the town of Jim Thorpe, Carbon County, in the scenic Pocono Mountains on Sunday and began to bite and scratch him. The commission noted this is abnormal behavior for bears. The bear was shot and killed by a nearby homeowner and the body taken away for testing. "Today, January 23, 2025, the results of the tests showed the bear was positive for rabies. The person involved is expected to have a full recovery and has received appropriate medical treatment," the commission said in its statement.

Sending up the Bat signal... @abkeenan @SupremeJCK

Spam? It's a fishing trip right?

What's for dinner Thursday? 😁

Neither have I.

Pulled this one off the AGFC fishing report. Chunky brown that measured 25" caught in the Calico Rock area recently.

Just noticed this, I like it. I'm a cheapskate but in spite of that, I may pony up the extra $25 for one of these for my truck. AGFC stocks Arkansas roadways with conservation license plate • Arkansas Game & Fish Commission

I'll bring all the plastic ware (cups/utensils/bowls/plates). I will also bring saltine crackers. If there's chili and gumbo, I like to put crackers in them.

I'll be there sometime Thursday afternoon too.

Those were some fat ones you've caught.

Yeah if a guy could go back in time and travel with the Lewis and Clark expedition.

Those fish need to eat!

Did a search on trout stamp prints, found one of Al's stamps (signed) on Ebay. $25. Trout stamp collection would be a pretty neat thing to have.

We are in the 10 day forecast window. It's looking about as good as you can get for this time of year.

Bill Dance usually does a show every year with Donald Cranor. Maybe you've watched them, but if not, here's one:

Those are some tank spots!

6 degrees this AM. Thankfully no ice here.

Reminds me of these two, I believe I have put these here before, but worth a re-run:

Mark Andrews had a really bad day. Both of Sunday's games were good to watch.

It was 5 degrees this morning, now with sunrise it has warmed up to 12.
