I woke up well before dawn (normal for work days) and remembered that Elf Owls arrive in late March, so I headed out to my go-to spot and had an owl grand slam. Western Screech-Owl was new to the spot, a species I missed last year.

After 45 years, I think my Calculus textbook has to go rather than move with me one more time. I can’t say I have needed it once (since I didn’t pursue a higher degree)

Wow, a 3,400 year-old ancient Egyptian paint box containing its original pigments! Looks similar to a modern-day set! An inscription tells us it belonged to Amenemope, Vizier during the reign of king Amenhotep II. 📷 The Cleveland Museum of Art www.clevelandart.org/art/1914.680 #Archaeology

AI ruins search results, example 386. You would have to stand on the stove to use the microwave, and even then it might be over your head. Assumes a high ceiling.

Hardly new info, but BSky should know: Warsaw's water quality is monitored by eight clams with magnets attached to their shells. If contamination in the water causes the clams to close, the magnets trigger an alarm and shut off the city's water supply. Thank you, little guardian molluscs. 🧪🌏🚰

Not all of the bobcats at the Living Desert Zoo and Gardens State Park are in cages. Cool to see, but devastating to the prairie dogs on exhibit.

My favorite part of the Trump Stupid Show is he has no intention to take the canal or invade Canada or buy Greenland. It’s all just talking out of his ass to distract us. But, all of the idiots on Fox and in Congress have to go on TV and pretend it’s brilliant until he pulls the rug out once again.

My lifelong dream was to experience an earthquake, and the last 10 years or so, that is fulfilled every other month or so. I was upstairs and was impressed by the shaking, downstairs, my wife felt nothing. #earthquake
