Feral Cat Forms Unlikely Friendship With 550-Pound Elderly Black Bear

Folsom Zoo Sanctuary in Folsom, California is home to a variety of different animals.
They have mountain lions, deer, kinkajous, and even a colony of feral cats.

One cat, in particular, started showing up at the sanctuary eight years ago, and instead of making itself at home with the other feral kitties, decided she preferred the black bear exhibit instead.

Zoo visitors are often shocked to see Little Bear, as the cat has been named, roaming around the black bear enclosure.
But zoo officials say Little Bear doesn't just like hanging out in the exhibit -- she comes to visit her best friend, Sequoia!

Essentially, Little Bear and Sequoia are both older animals who have a few common interests -- mainly they love the shade and each other's company.

Little Bear and Sequoia seem like total opposites, but the aging animals have formed an 8-year bond that is unlikely to ever be broken.
Despite their differences, they've learned to get along, and they are a reminder to never judge a book by it's cover -- cause you never know when you'll have the chance to meet an amazing friend.

Any old time San Franciscans out there who had a favorite Market Street theater, or 2, or 3?

I especially loved three market Street theaters:

- The Embassy, which had the "Ten-O-Win" game at 8 PM each night
["IN THE BALCONY!!"]

- The Telenews, which was on Market St. near 5th Street
You could go there the day after a 'Pay-to-View" championship fight and see the fight for 75 cents)

- The Fox Theater, which was so huge, they didn't even let you go up to the balconies.
There was a rope across the stairway on the ground floor
I think the first floor alone sat nearly 1,000 people.

ROGER STONE'S AND JEROME CORSI'S TIME IN THE BARRELL

The New Yorker
February 18 & 25, 2019 Issue
By Jeffrey Toobin


Roger Stone's house in Ft. Lauderdale is situated between a quiet street and one of the city's canals, which are the only feature Ft. Lauderdale shares with it's Italian sister city, Venice.
In a small room on the first floor, Stone keeps mementos of a career as a political consultant and provocateur which is now in it's fifth decade.
There are bumper stickers from Richard Nixon's campaigns for president and photographs of Stone with candidates for whom he's worked.
There's one of Arlen Specter, the late senator from Pennsylvania, and several of Stone with Donald Trump, whose political aspirations Stone has championed since the nineteen-eighties.

When I visited him, on a quiet afternoon in early January, the room also featured a reminder of the crisis that was enveloping him -- and his characteristic response to it.
In a pair of cardboard boxes, there were dozens of polished rocks, which Stone was autographing and selling: "Roger stones," to benefit his legal-defense fund.
As subsequent developments have demonstrated, he is going to need to sell a lot of them.

Shortly before dawn on the morning of January 25th, FBI agents pounded on the door of Stone's house and arrested him, following an indictment by Robert Mueller, the special counsel.
The FBI also searched Stone's house, his office, and the apartment in Harlem that he used to share with Kristin Davis, the former madam and onetime New York gubernatorial candidate.

According to Matthew Whitaker, the acting Attorney General, Mueller's investigation of Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election is "close to being completed," but Mueller has not yet said whether or not he believes that anyone on the Trump campaign colluded with Russian interests in order to defeat Hillary Clinton.
Nor has he said whether he believes that the President obstructed justice by firing James Comey, the former FBI director.
Nevertheless, Mueller's legal filings, which include indictments and sentencing memorandums, have created an almost novelistic narrative, featuring rich portraits of the political and personal motivations of a large cast of characters.
