Item #1: the perfect canola crop photograph<\/span>\"\"
\nWhat could be nicer than an expanse of pretty yellow flowers?
\nHow about that picture with you standing in the field of bright yellow?
\nSeems growers are not happy with such actions. You can learn the reasons why here: trespass angers farmers<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

For a fee, I think I can solve this issue.
\nGrowers, please call or write.<\/p>\n

Item #2: Tree detective excited<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

Date Line Bundaberg<\/em>
\nThis fine community is about 600 miles north of Sydney, Australia.
\nA tree went missing \u2013 not a dog, or cat, or horse \u2013 but a thing with roots in the ground.
\nFurther, this appears to be a fairly large specimen.
\nIt has fruits the size of a large purple plum, and presumably flowers, although photos are not available. I could not even find the size or color of the flowers.
\nSeems to be a case of hiding in plain sight.
\nThe plan is to have hundreds growing soon.
\nYou can find the story at this LINK<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Item #3: Records are meant to be broken<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

The records of note are temperature, not phonograph. Moose Jaw was cold in 1896<\/strong><\/a>, and it just got colder.
\nI guess because it was cold, a picture of a Canada Goose signifies that fact.
\nThe headline mentions a “chilly autumn” day. They are using the meteorological notion of autumn and not the one star gazers use.
\nMoose Jaw is about 640 miles north of Cheyenne, Wyoming.<\/p>\n

Item #4: unclaimed funds<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

Thunder Bay is a breeze of a canoe ride (28 miles) from Isle Royale of Lake Superior fame. The place has fewer than 110,000 folks.
\nIt has had 2 canoe clubs, and there’s the problem.
\nThe old club had some money. It disbanded. Like the Phoenix of Greek mythology, a new club rose from the ashes of the old.
\nThe new club could use the money of its predecessor, but so far that isn’t happening. Are you richer than you think?<\/strong><\/a>
\nApparently there is quite a pile of money being held for someone or some group from this relatively small place. Likely this situation exist across Canada, and the United States.
\nHow much? Who Knows? Maybe you have some waiting for you. <\/p>\n

Item #5: Look out !<\/span>\"\"<\/p>\n

Asteroid ‘2018 RC’, the size of a 17-story building, will pass between Earth and Moon (sort of) Saturday night.
\nIt will come within 136,000 miles of Earth.
\nThe Virtual Telescope Project will live stream the asteroid’s journey past Earth, beginning 6 p.m. EDT Saturday.
\nI’ll be sleeping<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

If it were to come close enough to make a big whooshing sound, I might stay up. It won’t. That’s the good news.
\nI can wait for the replay.<\/p>\n

And that, for this week, is the not so nasty news.
