🚧 EPA forced to close part of beloved seasonal nature trail at Delaware’s Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge after a pop up village of RV’ers became tragically over enthralled with the discovery of a new protected red fox family living in the marsh. Besides the trash and just general environmental disturbance, onlookers began luring the the fox kits (babies) into human contact with dog food

This is heartbreaking. It's sickening that so many people have no respect for animals or the environment.

This makes me equally enraged and disheartened.  Sometimes people really suck.

Pink Dogwoods here all swolled ready to pop any day now.

Looks good!

Found this wild tulip growing along the marsh here

Wonderful find!

Guess I’m just too far over the horizon to get a good crescent plus swift moving clouds prevented a clear view, oh well at least I can say I was there.

adam_bovary:
Yeah, I wasn't impressed either
fredhincanada:
Yessir.  You were there.  I appreciate that.

2 + 2 +7 +2 = 13 … creepy!

Found this while walking along a nature path this morning here in Newark Delaware. It had always been there, I’d never seen it before. Recent heavy rains washed the surface strata away and voila!

🎶 Got me thinking of going to the back-o-da-rack for this Rolling Stones classic…

That is very neat!

It used to be a long running joke in my fraternity days that if we saw someone getting trashed at a party we’d tell them to hold on to the Earth very tight… it’s spinning and you might fly off 😆

Well, in reality the Earth is actually spinning faster, faster than when you were a kid, faster than when you began reading this, so...

First time one of my fraternity brothers ever got high his freshman year, he thought he was floating away and told people to hold onto him.

I once told a drunk lady that she wouldn't fall away if she made herself heavier and held on to something.  She put on a bunch of the party-goers coats and laid down in the tub holding herself down with the handle.

…and in the Beatles song lyrics the next line goes Sgt. Pepper Taught The Band To Play.

But for this blog I’m actually going back twenty years, to February 2nd 2004, in Baltimore Maryland.

The day that darkness overruled my sense of purpose and led me onto a railroad track to end my life. Context: I’d been awash with alcohol and drugs since being abused

Congrats man! You pulled through the dark times.
fredhincanada:
My friend, that is an incredible story and experience.  I'm astounded at what you have been through, and incredibly proud you have gotten to where you are today.  Here's to another 20 years!

…or “How I Lost The Battle Of The Whoppers”

Anxiety over a risky upcoming heart rhythm correction procedure is kicking my ass, and I’m slipping deeper into a self gratification funk. I like Whoppers candy, but I'm increasingly unable to ration them. Was buying the small box, eating just that. At that price they're expensive so I switched to the larger pint sized milk carton

I understand you... I hope your heart rhythm is better.I recently discovered that I am lactose intolerant, but I love sweets and dairy products... not being able to eat what I like makes me sad
robertbluesman:
Thank you @nannakya sorry to hear about your trouble. Wish we could go back to the old times when everyone ate raw dairy products and no one got ill.

Today’s SG date stamp is 22 4 23

2 + 2 + 4 + 2 + 3 = 13 … creepy!

Cool

The experimental Mars Ingenuity drone that has been a shining star of our mission to detect signs of ancient life blew out a carbon fiber rotor blade during mission event 77 and lost contact with NASA ground control. Astounding since it was originally launched to perform only a handful of flights at most.
No word if this rascal had a hand in its demise 😆
