The fattest of them all! Holly is crowned Alaska's 'Queen of Corpulence'

Holly is crowned Alaska's 'Queen of Corpulence' after the brown bear piled on the pounds by not having cubs and spending her time eating salmon to prepare for hibernation. 
Holly's healthy heft will help her hibernate until the spring. 

Fat Bear Week in Alaska has become a national internet sensation

This year´s champion fat fan favorite is Holly

Katmai, in southwestern Alaska, is known for its brown bears, which grow to         massive sizes by gorging on salmon.

• Holly, who won in a field of 12 contenders, has been single-minded this year in her pursuit of salmon at Brooks Falls, the park´s best-known bear-gathering spot 

By REUTERS and MATTHEW WRIGHT FOR DAILYMAIL.COM 

Katmai National Park and Preserve's Facebook page featured photographs of salmon-fattened Katmai brown bears. 

Bears in the region can weigh up to 1,400 pounds as estimated by the Katmai National Park and Preserve.

Long live the 'Queen of Corpulence'

Startled Pooch

For who knows where the time goes?

But how can they know it's time for them to go?
Before the winter fire, I will still be dreaming
I have no thought of time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
Sad, deserted shore, your fickle friends are leaving
Ah, but then you know it's time for them to go
But I will still be here, I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes?
Who knows where the time goes?
And I am not alone while my love is near me
I know it will be so until it's time to go
So come the storms of winter and then
The birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
For who knows how my love grows?
And who knows where the time goes?

A New Day Yesterday-Jethro Tull  



Lyrics 

A New Day Yesterday but It's an Old Day Now

My first and last time with you
And we had some fun.
Went walking through the trees, yeah!
And then I kissed you once.
Oh I want to see you soon
But I wonder how.
It was a new day yesterday
But it's an old day now.
Spent a long time looking
For a game to play.
My luck should be so bad now
To turn out this way.
Oh I had to leave today
Just when I thought I'd found you.
It was a new day yesterday
But it's an old day now.
