It’s always a little jarring to see the ways those old classics have aged badly. Even the moral of the film seems a little iffy. In the original song it’s implied that Rudolph is only ostracized by the other reindeer, but the film makes it clear that Santa himself is part of the problem.

The bells have been reinstalled in Notre Dame.
The bells of Notre Dame ringing once again are an emotional capstone to the end of Is Paris Burning.

The Klamath is one of few rivers that crosses from the desert east of the Cascade Mountains to the Pacific. The upper basin is rich in nutrients and a great nursery for salmon and steelhead that has been inaccessible to anadromous fish for most of a century.

Please ignore all the comments about putting in a culvert. Those folks are usually well-meaning, but culverts kill outgoing juvenile salmon by the thousands. It’s better for a few dozen adult salmon to cross the road in the late autumn than for thousands of smolts to die under one in early summer.
I had to know why culverts were a problem. This was an interesting and hopeful read!

More good salmon news! Wild chinook salmon returning to Oakland, CA. Not enough to create a sustaining population, but a good sign nonetheless.
