World's Tallest Man Saves Ailing Dolphins, Long Arms Of 7-Foot-9 Mongolian Herdsman Remove Plastic From Dolphins' Stomachs - CBS News: " The long arms of the world's tallest man reached in and saved two dolphins by pulling out plastic from their stomachs, state media and an aquarium official said Thursday.
The dolphins got sick after nibbling on plastic from the edge of their pool at an aquarium in Liaoning province. Attempts to use surgical instruments to remove the plastic failed because the dolphins' stomachs contracted in response to the instruments, the China Daily newspaper reported. "

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Arctic sea ice 'faces rapid melt'
BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Arctic sea ice 'faces rapid melt': "The Arctic may be close to a tipping point that sees all-year-round ice disappear very rapidly in the next few decades, US scientists have warned.
The latest data presented at the American Geophysical Union Fall Meeting suggests the ice is no longer showing a robust recovery from the summer melt.
Last month, the sea that was frozen covered an area that was two million sq km less than the historical average.
'That's an area the size of Alaska,' said leading ice expert Mark Serreze."

"SALLY WILL BE MISSED ON THE HILL"
Spoke to Marie Jelen this evening and she had bad news to tell. Her compaion of 16 plus years Sally had to be put to sleep this morning. Seeing Marie without Sally on her daily walks here on the hill will be missed. Marie stated this is the first time she has been without a pet in many many years and maybe down the road she may get another dog.
Hey want to get Grandma and Grandpa a cool gift?
You too Kids..
You know those walkie talkie radios that you use to find your kids or parents at Disneyland? Grandma and Grandpa could use one to keep in contact with the local emergency team if there is ever a problem with a power loss here at the park where they live. One with a battery charger would really be nice.
Staples, BestBuy, Fry's, Fred Myer all have models. They are called FRS or GMRS radios. Really the least expensive are as good as the more expensive models..

A sensitive request....
From time to time things happen in our community that do not get out. Relying on your descretion I would appreciate it if you could email me or one of the staff or tell Jacky when something of import happens in a neighbor's life.
Why make this statement? Recently, while planning for coverage of oxygen during a power outtage I called a husband of a lady and was explaining to him what CERT was planning to do for his wife when he stopped me and said his wife had died a few days ago. He said they didn't know anyone in the park and just told Larry Henson. After I removed my foot from my mouth I visited with Larry and he pointed out he keeps a list of those that pass away on the glass window to the office in the dining hall.. How often would a person have to check that glass? Can't we all as neighbors share these type of things?
Well, I don't know it just seems to me that one purpose of this little news letter is keep residents upto date on what's happening. I have found that others are ill or having major surgery and not even known about it until they are well again. It is pretty easy to make this situation better just tell us and we will get the word out to everyone.

- A new neighbor moves in
- A member of the community is ill
- Some event needs to be put on the calendar

Well, Frida came to Eugene yesterday and got there around 10:45AM and I hope to be signed out of the Hospital within a two hour period, but didn't happen. The Doctor didn't get by to see me until around 3PM and had some good news and some bad news. The good news is that she was going to release me to go home and of course follow up with my Doctor here. She stated that I still had some pneumonia in both lungs and also there was a problem with my white blood count and that a lung specialist Doctor was going to come by to see me before we left for Newport. When he finally got by to see me it was after 4PM and spent some time with Frida and I to state that I have a problem other that the pneumonia, yes as people have been saying what can happen next and so this is next. Back in the 70's down in Albuquerque I was told that I had this blood disorder by the name of EOSINOPHILIA and not sure where or when I got it. They advised me that I should have my blood check yearly to see where the count was at. It has been around 17 thousand over many years and this time when they checked my blood in Eugene it had jumped to 24 thousand, normal I believe is around 8 to 10 thousand. The lung specialist Doctor stated that my case of Pneumonia was different from a person who would come down with regular Pneumonia. So he wants me to be on antibiotics for around 3 more weeks and then go back to Eugene to see him for more test. If you look up the medical word Eosinophilia there are many different problems one can have with this. So once I get the Pneumonia cleared up, then he will have a better idea what's going on with me. He advised that I put my other back surgery on hold for now, until this is other problem is taken care of.
So this is about all I know at this time, best not have any visitor for awhile until I build my immune system up and able to fight off virus. So I know all mean well out there and will enjoy your e mails or calls. Thank you to all out there for all the help they have given.
Best to all and hope you will have a safe and joyful holiday.
