I was almost to the bottom of the sinkhole, with all those lush thick plants and trees.

I coughed.

Then I heard the mama bear snort, and I saw the cubs scurrying up the tree.

Let's just say you've never seen an old gal climb up the trail out of the sinkhole so fast!

It took me five minutes to hike down the sinkhole, and three minutes to get out.

If I hadn't coughed, I would have walked right up to them. I wasn't far at all. I couldn't see through the lush green shrubs.

When I got out, some other hikers were just coming with their small dog. I told them not to go down. We stood at the surface and could hear the mama and cubs vocalizing to each other.

Jane, I'm sorry you didn't get the report you wanted. Vibes the polyps are nothing. I hope your throat feels better soon.

Thank you.  I am expecting the colon polyps to be ok while a bit more concerned about the endoscopy ones.

As a kid, I was prone to getting ear infections when I had a bad cold, and I also remember it being called swimmer's ear. Is swimmer's ear just what they call being prone to it?

I've only had one ear infection as an adult, but it was a doozy requiring antibiotics. Ear aches are a nasty feeling. I hope to never have another.

Yeah, doesn’t have to be from swimming, even. But a little moisture stuck in the canal can hasten the problems.

I was never threatened. I just heard the scuffle of the cubs' claws on the tree trunk and saw it climbing up.

I made the mistake of eating a protein bar and now my esophagus hurts.  I was warned to eat gentle foods.  I  have a sweet potato in the oven baking hoping it will be very gentle.


Hope you feel better quickly, Jane.

I think I'd be eating mashed potatoes now, if I were you.

I tried a little ice cream again and it only helped a little.  Black licorice helps except I can only eat a couple of pieces a day.  I think the potato will be soothing.  Maybe I will scramble some eggs to go with it.

I was hiking alone, and I hiked down into a sinkhole. Imagine rolling out bread dough nice and thick and then using a big cookie cutter to cut straight down and lift the big circle out.

It was so green and lush. The trail wraps around the outside of the sinkhole and goes down like a spiral. The plants and birds in the sinkhole were different than what was up at the surface. I think I spooked up an owl, which flew off.

Super cool.  No wonder it was on your bucket list.

We found a doc next to a pharmacy. Was like a doc office unchanged since the 1960s. Just quickly saw us, this 90 year old French doc, gave the boy an ear drop then prescribed some more and some amoxicillin. Probably easiest doc appt ever.

DR Laura I imagine it was nice to have company once you were out of the sink hole.

What a nice old-fashioned doctor's appointment, Rodzinski. I hope Little Boy gets over the ear infection quickly. I hope his ear doesn't hurt in the plane.

With cubs involved, that could have been rather dicey.

I loved Jennifer Simard singing The Grass Is Always Greener during one of the pandemic Kritzerland shows. She was with Kerry O'Malley. Both hilarious.
