Well if Crazy Dog Lady has a problem with it....

I'm amused, because I was out in Canmore last week, and my friend was looking for me in the park. "Where are you?" "I'm right in front of the cougar snack sign!" And I knew exactly where to find him, because it was a memorable sign.
My dad used to call our cats CB(coyote bait). But it's true, there are coyotes out there. They will eat your pet. They do not care if that offends you.
Explanation: Aphelion for 2021 occurred on July 5th. That's the point in Earth's elliptical orbit when it is farthest from the Sun. Of course, the distance from the Sun doesn't determine the seasons. Those are governed by the tilt of Earth's axis of rotation, so July is still summer in the north and winter in the southern hemisphere. But it does mean that on July 5 the Sun was at its smallest apparent size when viewed from planet Earth. This composite neatly compares two pictures of the Sun, both taken with the same telescope and camera. The left half was captured close to the date of the 2021 perihelion (January 2), the closest point in Earth's orbit. The right was recorded just before the aphelion in 2021. Otherwise difficult to notice, the change in the Sun's apparent diameter between perihelion and aphelion amounts to a little over 3 percent.
