#birdboxchallenge

Have you heard about #birdboxchallenge where folks try to go around blindfolded like characters in the Netflix move “Bird Box”? We watched the movie, it’s OK in the zombie apocalypse pattern.
Gary bought these fabric devices to keep ice and snow off the car windshields. We put them on yesterday to try them out. They look like they would be good for #birdboxchallenge idiocy.

When one volunteers in an animal shelter, sometimes one see things that are not good. Hopefully this animal does not have rabies and can be released.

Dinosaur’s Tail Found

While browsing amber markets in Myanmar, scientists discovered the feathers and partial tail of a tiny baby dinosaur that lived some 99 million years ago.

In recent years, paleontologists have also realized that many dinosaurs were not scaly (a la Jurassic Park) but feathered like birds. However, their plumage’s original purpose (for example, for insulation or for camouflage) remains up for debate.

How cool is this? An actual dinosaur tail.

Eye Glasses

I walked past a parked car and noticed a large collection of eye glasses in a heap on the dashboard. A hat, a cell phone, some other electronics and St Patricks day looking items completes the inventory.
