That would be awesome! Sometimes a little ignorance can be nice. Like, when I don't look at the weather and am pleasantly surprised with a snowfall. Only, a bit scarier.

By now, I am finding the heuristic of assuming their accusations are their intentions, to be quite useful in predicting future behavior. So, I presume the GOP wants to abolish single family zoning and houses? Cool.

How do the learn their song if they are spending their days with another species during development? Turns out there is an acoustic password given by female cowbirds that "unlock" their ability to learn cowbird songs! Achievement unlocked!

Hey, it worked! ๐Ÿ˜€ They really are a fascinating species. If their parents are not raising them, how do they learn their beautiful electric bubbly song? How do they know they're cowbirds? The answers are pretty ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿคฏ.

Would love to see Red-cockaded! Fun checklist. How about Yellow-bellied Sapsucker? Winter resident in Florida, but breeds up North, so not sure where that sits within the rules of your woodpecker game. ๐Ÿค“๐Ÿชถ

Isn't it more pathological bothsideism?

It can't be worse than the Chinese tv series. I was excited to see it and, my God. It's out there, you can watch it now. That's a whole other level. Couldn't get more than a handful in. Looking forward to see what Netflix has done.

But are there dirty dishes in that sink so deep that yesterday's egg shells are a nearly nebulous memory? I guess you said humbling, not rock bottom.

Aside from perfect weather, I much prefer biking in winter. Somewhere between 15F to below slushy is preferable. No sweating, throw the snow pants over the jammies and awaaaay we go. If under ~15F I need goggles.

This is precisely the reason so many buy larger vehicles. It's a feeling & perception of safety for themselves & their family. I cannot tell you how many times I have heard people say they chose to buy a huge SUV because it "feels safer". Not to mention referring to smaller cars as "death machines".

The tiny wooden bridge at Matthaei has been out for about three years now and is not due to be repaired until 2024. I wonder how long it's going to take for this to get fixed?
