As mentioned yesterday, I am taking a wander through the history of clerkmanifesto, just a random stroll, to bring back up something we might like. In a few days we'll be back up to date with posting here in France, and I am most likely already back home in the Belle Epoque City. But to be safe, as I'll have no computer on my trip, I bring you this chosen relic which I must have liked enough to write and publish at one point, and hopefully also liked so much that I thought you would want to see it again, if you have ever even seen it at all.
Wait here and I'll see what I can find...
Ha, I went to 2018 and this one was the very first one I looked at! How could I resist:
Wolves Return to France
It's a good news/bad news situation as viable wolf populations have returned to France.
The European Gray Wolf went extinct in France in the thirties, but in the early nineties a pair of Italian wolves crossed the Alps into France. Now there are over 500 wolves in France and they are considered to be "Demographically viable", which means, and I'm just winging it here, they are viable in a demographic way.
The really great thing about this is that there are way too many rabbits in France and everyone is hoping the wolves will eat up some of the rabbits. Also looking like winners in this ecological triumph are the sellers and manufacturers of Grandmotherly disguises, who will be expecting increased business for their line in small, outlying villages. Of course, the sheep herders of France are not happy about the situation and have even brought their sheep to Paris to express their dismay.
However, it is not the sheep herders who need to be kept happy...
it's the woodcutters.

Post a Comment
If you were wondering, yes, you should comment. Not only does it remind me that I must write in intelligible English because someone is actually reading what I write, but it is also a pleasure for me since I am interested in anything you have to say.
I respond to pretty much every comment. It's like a free personalized blog post!
One last detail: If you are commenting on a post more than two weeks old I have to go in and approve it. It's sort of a spam protection device. Also, rarely, a comment will go to spam on its own. Give either of those a day or two and your comment will show up on the blog.
