Squirrels Survive Winter without hibernating! They bury nuts, seeds & fungi in many spots to find later & build insulated nests (dreys) from twigs, leaves & moss, often sharing them with other squirrels for warmth, they sleep more but don't enter the deep metabolic state of hibernation. #squirrels

”Mikael Wiehe uppträdde utan någon form av perverterad respekt för dessa kvarlevor från den tid då Danmark och Sverige var diktaturer. Genom sitt agerande har Wiehe visat att han vägrar ta på sig rollen som hovnarr”

Mikael Wiehe: ”Jag försöker hålla alzheimern ifrån mig”
Mikael Wiehe har skrivit ett testamente och instruerat barnen att inte bråka om pengarna när han dör. I övrigt tänker han leva på precis som vanligt.

TIL about a memorial ceremony in Iceland in 2019 to mark the end of a glacier, changing the place name from Okjökull to Ok (jökull = glacier). Uncompromising wording on the bronze plaque:
"This is to acknowledge that we know what is happening and what needs to be done. Only you know if we did it".
