the december music journal package at bandcamp has been updated by updating the files for the deathtokoalas blog and also for the travel blog. the purpose of this update is solely to ensure that a level of consistency around certain types of posts is maintained throughout the blog.

as these updates are minor and to the travel blog and deathtokoalas blog only, it will not be documented in the notes.

see, it's not just that the ice floes are melting.

it's also that the grizzlies are coming, and that they will thrive.

i actually don't think the polar bears will go quietly into the night like you think.

let's rewind polar bear history back quite a ways, to the time before there were polar bears, when there was merely a common ancestor of polar bears and what we today call brown bears - a common ancestor that would have been remarkably similar to today's brown bears. grizzlies would also descend from recent common ancestors of polar and brown bears.

how far back is that? the answer is about 350,000 years ago - which is not that far back. when the anatomically modern homo sapiens evolved in africa about 300,000 years ago, it interbed with relatives that had split off much earlier, including neanderthals. and, indeed polar bears can mate with brown bears and with grizzly bears, if their behavioural contradictions with each other are not too great.

so, we hear these horror stories about the polar bears losing all of the ice, indeed floating out to see on ice bergs, and just drowning in the ocean like forgotten sailors, dying stoically in a fight against an enemy they don't understand.

i don't want to say that you aren't going to see some emaciated polar bears withering away on melting ice floes, because you no doubt will. but, to get that as normal into your head is really to underestimate the ingenuity of the bears, some of which are even smarter than average, no doubt.

so, what's actually going to happen?

polar bears are going to need to try to adapt by invading south, and when they do they're going to come into contact with brown bears and grizzly bears that are actually going to be moving north to colder areas and their polar bear dna is going to introgress back into the general brown bear population. if a true hybrid colony develops on the border of the range, you could essentially see a grizzly type bear that is better adapted to the colder climate, and able to move a bit further north.

so, while the ice floes may be gone in future days, don't be surprised if terrestrial grizzly-looking bears start to develop a strange taste for the seals they can catch from shore.

while the polar bear itself may die out in the face of climate change, the broader bear species will adapt to the new climate.

and, i want to see this happen to observe hybridization on a large scale in a terrestrial mammal, to understand how evolution actually works when climate change sets two daughter species back on each other's niche.

november went through quickly without any hiccups, so it's already done.

the november music journal package at bandcamp has been updated by updating the files for the deathtokoalas blog. the purpose of this update is solely to ensure that a level of consistency around certain types of posts is maintained throughout the blog.

as these updates are minor and to the deathtokoalas blog only, it will not be documented in the notes.

ok, i got my september file converted from microsoft servers. great.

the november update is just a series of cover art posts to the deathtokoalas blog. there's no travel blog update. so, that should move quick.

the october music journal package at bandcamp has been updated by updating the files for the travel blog and also by updating the files for the deathtokoalas blog. while these are minimal updates that add little to the narrative, they ensure that a level of consistency around certain types of posts is maintained throughout the blog.

as these updates are minor and to the travel & deathtokoalas blogs, it will not be documented in the notes.

the following four posts were added to the travel blog, all isolated from one another, and relevant in their different ways:

there are reasons why i'd rather use the word site, but i can't sit around and wait for the server to start working all night. these are relatively small files, so i went back to use one of the free sites, for now.

that means that the september music journal package at bandcamp has been updated by updating the files for the travel blog and also by updating the files for the deathtokoalas blog. while these are minimal updates that add little to the narrative, they ensure that a level of consistency around certain types of posts is maintained throughout the blog .

as these updates are minor and to the travel & deathtokoalas blogs, it will not be documented in the notes.

the following three posts were added to the travel blog, each documenting a time i went out to interact with the world in windsor:

the following two posts were added to the deathtokoalas blog to ensure consistency of type across the blog:

1) profile picture update:

2) potential cover art:

and, now i can get to updating october.

i'll check back later, and if i can get the file to process at the microsoft site, i'll replace it. but, for now, it's just not working.

so, i've got september finished, but i'm getting slowed down by some poor results at the conversion to pdf stage. i really want the one drive site to work, and it usually does, but it's so sporadic sometimes, and right now it's taking a while.

i've got the posts updated at the blog side, at least. but, i don't want to jump ahead on the pdf side, so if this doesn't work soon, it could be a long night.
