Cost of Colorado’s forced wolf introduction already rising; a ‘circular self-destruction formula’
According to the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service, after the 1994 forced wolf introduction to Yellowstone National Park, through 2012, elk herds decreased by more than 80%. Most of the natural dispersion of wolves in the west since 1994 centers on the Yellowstone packs. As wolf populations increase and prey species decrease wolves migrate in search of better prey opportunities and open range for the new packs.
And then there’s the moose.
In Wisconsin, Minnesota and Alaska moose calves are a favorite food source for wolves, particularly in winter, and moose populations have suffered under wolf-protection laws.
China recently launched the first 22.5 metric ton segment of their new space station into orbit, using a 23 ton booster. Which is still up there, but on it’s way back down. And experts expect tons of it to reach the earth.
And no one knows exactly where or when it’s coming back down. But probably sometime this weekend. Maybe they should have checked with Elon Musk. He seems to be able to get his boosters back on the ground in one piece.
So Keep Watching The Skies!
Cue the Twilight Zone theme.
From the start, Elon Musk has said he started SpaceX because he wants to go to Mars. He has plans for the first trip in the next few years, and would like to have a colony up and going by sometime in the 2030’s.
Now in one of those really weird coincidences, or maybe it’s one of those Nostradamusy things, but back in 1952, almost 70 years ago, Wernher von Braun (yes, that guy) wrote a science fiction novel called “Project Mars”.
In the book, a guy named ‘Elon’ helped settle and govern the Mars colony.
So prophecy, or is Elon just a time traveler, back from the future? That might explain how he’s been able to do all these things at SpaceX that NASA as much as said was impossible.

One last thing about the Kroger’s Rx Club is that they not only have people meds, but also ones for your pets.
So of course, you have to put your pet on the plan too. That’s why our plan account looks like this.

Disneyland’s new Snow White ride adds magic, but also a new problem
Apparently some people are very upset at Disneyland’s redo of Snow White’s Scary Adventure.
It seems that Prince Charming should not have kissed Snow White without her consent. And since he didn’t wait for her OK, he was guilty of Sexual Assault.
So Prince Charming should have just let her lie there and rot?
