My Encounters with Cougars

Definitely yes! Bears are often hanging about in our yard in early spring and whenever there's a ripe fruit crop. I usually pick our fruit before it's ripe so as not to encourage them. But they have good memories and very sharp noses!

My Encounters with Cougars

So true! What I love about NW Montana is that we are right on the border of Mountain Time and Pacific Time...so that already gives us more daylight. But then, in the summer, there is a shred of light even at 1030pm being up north and so far ...

Kindle Touch Lighted Cover FAQs

Very useful information for those who own a kindle. It sounds to me that a cover would be a good idea.

My Encounters with Cougars

How to Write the First Line in Fiction

Technically you only need to do it for the very first line, but it can't hurt to do it for all of them. It's also good to leave each chapter on a bit of a cliff-hanger, even if it's only a subtle one.

How Does Chitika Work?

Then it's done its job. :) Were you planning to switch from Adsense? I'm not sure how the two directly compare with each other.

How to Write the First Line in Fiction

How to Write the First Line in Fiction

Images of Spring: Rosy Finches, Song Sparrows, and Cute Squirrels (photos)

Brenda and Tolovaj, thanks so much for your support. We have very different birds here from the ones I knew from ON, but some are familiar friends. I love my digital camera, but still have a lot to learn about it - too many features.

How To Be England Manager

Funny! But we can all be an England manager, just by drinking a few beers and shouting instructions to the team via a TV! ;-)

It looks birds and squirrels were not only busy ones:) Beautiful photos! I am looking around for new digital camera too, but ones who have good resolution and are fast seem a little too expensive at the moment. Good news is every year we can ...

Then you should write a first line and see where it takes you. :)
