Pumpkin and April send you their best.

Photo of 2 cats sitting on the back of a red couch. The cat on the left is a tuxedo, and is pressing her head into the face of the orange cat on the right, in hope of getting some kitty kisses. Orange Cat on the right, and is looking mildly unamused at Tuxedo Cat's antics, as though Orange Cat has never tried the same thing with her humans and their laptops.

Tuxedo Cat is sitting in loaf pose, while Orange Cat has draped herself on the back.

Wonder how much it would cost me to drive back from Ontario...

...and whether it would be faster than trying to fly.

I'm in Ottawa for a few days for work, and spent Sunday with Tony and Nina from alwaysanadventure.ca. I had a great time looking for photos of Ontario's many birds, and got many great ones thanks to my excellent guides, but starting with this white-throated sparrow!

#birds #wildlife #photography

Photo of a white-throated sparrow peaking out from among the bushes. It's a small, mostly light brown bird perched on a branch. The bird's head is in partial shadow, with its right eye and side of head in morning sun. Its beak is yellow and there's a black stripe that runs through its beak and eye. As the name implies, there's a distinct white patch on its throat.

After all they've done for the psyche of Cleveland, the least I could do was call out their perfect season!

The study methods are... somewhat flawed. In the same way the 2017 Cleveland Browns were "somewhat bad" at winning NFL games.

This is the most excellent local headline writing.

"DID YOU GIVE WATER TO A BAT NEAR THE ARBORETUM? IT HAD RABIES."

Did you give water to a bat near the Arboretum? It had rabies

A rabid bat was found in Seattle near the Washington Park Arboretum. Here's what to know, and what to do if you think you might have been exposed.

The quick summary for a large variety of products:

Lasers are not the answer to all problems. While they can do a variety of things, they do not necessarily do them well and require more care and maintenance than you’d expect. Especially outside.

No, Mosin ammo usually has more space between the body of the rounds, since the rim takes up more space.

My guess is 8mm Mauser, or maybe .30-06 (Springfield stripper clip)

ACOG reaffirms that acetaminophen is safe for managing pain and fever during pregnancy. No reputable studies support suggestions like those in HHS’s recent announcement linking acetaminophen use in pregnancy to autism; in fact, high-quality studies show no such risk. https://bit.ly/47Wxc59
