Bears and Telescopes

[Brian3. (Brian)]

This winter is particularly brutal, even in the West. If it is not wind and rain it is cloudy. The occasional fine day /night sees temperatures plummet to single digits driving the hardiest observer to seek the comfort and protection of "indoors ." The grand conclusion then can be drawn:
Bears and Telescopes are peculiarly related.
For example consider the California Grizzly.
Ursus arctos californicus hibernates in winter and consequently looses weight.
Coincidentally Telescopus Refractus similarly hibernates in winter and I'm sure looses aperture.
Life in the wild has some strange bed fellows indeed.

Tell me about it Brian; it's been many many weeks since I imaged
anything.

This is serious, I am assuming you have sought medical advice???

If you are lucky, you may develop the co-morbidity of Beaver Builderous and start construction of an appropriate shelter to reduces the symptoms of Telescopus Refractus?

Serious indeed, and despite the absurd amount of negotiable currency that I contribute to a certain medical fund I am advised that I am not covered for the cover. This is further complicated by my lack of tenure over a suitable parcel of terra firma. The condition therefore remains awaiting good fortunes
consideration, late I might add in manifesting its intentions despite my troubling what is a deaf Heaven with bootless cries.
The hibernated state remains awaiting kind seasons relief.

Maybe it is of the species Telescopus Reductus ..?

[Brian3. (Brian)]

Apparently Telesopus Reductus became extinct when Telescopus Dobsonus arrived. Definitely Telescopus Refractus, a species that stands atop the evolutionary tree threatened by cost alone.

Obviously, you have not heard of the recently evolved Mountous Paramountous, Type II, which causes extinction of observations altogether due to excessive cost in establishing an appropriate niche in the hosts habitat.... Co-morbidities include Beaverous Buildous, Hair Teareroutis and random snivelling... with occasional rending of flesh in the host when clouds disappear....
