I'm thinking our national Lucky Number should be 13! Read below to learn why.

Today June 14th is Flag Day! As an Eagle Scout I hang our flag today to honor the idea that we are one nation with many beliefs, ideas, hopes and dreams for our families and our country. We are One Nation Under God, Indivisible with Justice for All.
Should Flag Day be a national holiday?
Here is the "official" significance behind our annual observation: Today is the anniversary of June 14, 1777, when the Continental Congress approved the design of a flag for the United States, which at the time featured 13 stars and 13 strips, representing the 13 colonies.

WILDLIFE WEDNESDAY: Mom’s charge and stomp to protect their young calfs; humans must keep their distance
•
It is Calving Season in Colorado. Moose, elk, and deer protect their younglings, and when I say protecting, I mean these moms are aggressive and attack people, leading to serious injuries.
•
STAY SAVE and ENJOY THE GREAT OUTDOORS
1. Leave young wildlife alone. Adult animals often leave their newborns to forage for food.
2. DID YOU KNOW that baby mammals are born scentless, so predators can't find them? Touching them can remove their scentless armor, causing their parents to abandon them.
3. Be aware of the signs of aggression, which include laid-back ears, raised hairs on the neck, Curled lips and grinding teeth, licking of the snout. Additional danger signs include charging, kicking, circling, or following you.
4. Keep your dogs on a leash; elk, moose, and deer view them as predators and will act accordingly. Better yet, during calving season, leave them home.
5. DO NOT turn your back on aggressive wildlife. Back away, facing them, shoulders down, eyes up, and try to put an object between you and the animal - a tree, rock, or car!
6. You can zoom in with your smart phone or camera. USE IT! Your harmless need for the perfect photo is far less important than their need to protect their BABIES!

For the younger folks, the Cantaloop, which has a ginger beer base with green tea, honey syrup, and plum bitters, is my son’s favorite. Need a small bit?
