50 years ago today!
The Blues Brothers got their start on SNL on January 17, 1976. Nearly 50 years later, I took the above photo of their statues enjoying the sunset on someone’s deck on Whidbey Island.
Happy birthday, Dave Matthews!

Czech Bear
Brown bear in Hrad Český Krumlov moat
You probably thought the title of today’s photo (assuming you saw the title before seeing the photo) was a typo.
I was surprised, not having done any advanced reading, to stumble upon this bear in the moat of the Český Krumlov Castle complex. There is a bear festival held every year on Christmas Eve here. This is the only time of the year when visitors are allowed in the enclosure. Kids feed the brown bears apples, Christmas biscuits, pastries, and honey. Of course, the kids aren’t in the moat at the exact same time as the bears or they would be on the menu as well.
Bears have been living in this moat for over 300 years. The family who owns this castle has a coat of arms featuring two bears.
