It's always been Berenstain - here's proof

The Berenstain Bears were created by Stan and Jan Berenstain. They published the first book featuring the Bears in 1962, but they had had a career as a rare husband-and-wife cartoonist and illustrator team since they met during World War II.
In a 2015 Interview with the National Post their son Michael said that Jan Berenstain's ancestors had emigrated to the USA from Ukraine in the 19th century and thought that the -stain spelling, which differs from the more common -stein spelling, was an attempt to phonetically render the way they pronounced their name. It's possible that they only had documentation written in Cyrillic or Hebrew script to prove their identity to immigration officers and this was how it transcribed into English.
A popular meme has it that their creation used to be spelled "Berenstein Bears", but it was changed or was that way in a parallel universe.
Here's a scan of the first Dell edition of their book "Marital Blitzed", published in 1955, well before the bears. Note the spelling!:

Itera plastic bicycle road test

I rented this for about an hour in Oslo in 1982 - it was an all-plastic bicycle, but why? Although it weighed 49 lbs/22kg, according to one source and 16kg according to another, the frame was so flexible riding it was exhausting, especially up hills (Oslo isn't flat!). The design was very well thought out by Volvo engineers with good placement of the gear shift, light, kickstand and bag rack, and it probably would have been successful if it had been made out of steel - it was actually heavier than a comparable metal frame bike. People stopped to talk to me, especially after I started just pushing along as I walked, because they'd been reading about it, and the bike shop very nicely gave me a full refund when I brought it back. The story that you read is that they were sold to the "West Indies" where they were supposed to be popular because they didn't rust - I don't see why they would do so more in the West Indies any more than any other coastal area - after no one wanted them much in Europe, but I haven't found any photos of them there yet. I'd wonder how well the plastic would last under strong UV sunlight.

The Tragically Hip - Something On

20 years since the great ice storm that inspired this song.



"The ice is covering the trees

And one of them is interconnecting

With my Chevrolet Caprice



Black out to phantom power

And like there's nothing on

And hammering the tower

And now there's nothing on"

Sun dogs on New Year's Day

UFO...baby it's a UFO! (It's really a lens flare, a reflection of the sun off of one of the surfaces of the lens elements). I was taking pictures of the sun dog (rainbow like thing) that often happens on cold days.
