Please everyone, be careful and keep the distance. |
[QUOTE=abshipp;21408444]I saw an Eastern Bluebird yesterday on my ride.
Absolutely made my day :) https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/bikefor...fb2a9c1930.jpg The Appalachian Mountain Club operates several back country lodges in the White Mountains of New Hampshire. They are less than 10 miles from the trailhead and very popular for families with children. At the Mizpah Hut, gray jays have become accustomed to hand feeding which I've done myself during a winter hike. It is totally charming to have a wild bird sitting in your hand. |

I've heard this is common with male cats. My guy drinks lots of water, does that help or is it not related. Years ago a friend told me he salted his cat's food to try and get him to drink more.

My wife bought me DNA kits from two different companies a year ago and I found out from both sites that my heritage was nearly 70% from the British Isles. I have genealogy from both of my parents and sure enough, there are a lot of English, Scottish, Welsh, and Irish wives in there. One of my brothers totally relates to being German and was crushed. :lol: |

Bad. |
I had a haircut appointment yesterday which didn’t happen, of course. My hairdresser, a single grandmother, just bought a new house and was telling me about how she had gone crazy buying stuff and doing repairs. I know the lady operates on a shoestring so I’m sending her my regular payment for my missed haircut and a big tip. She’s always been great to me; she deserves it.

I’m just like the commercial where the guy with lederhosen finds out that he should be wearing a kilt after a DNA test. My paternal lineage and surname can be traced back to my German ancestor who arrived in Philly on the King of Prussia in 1775. My maternal grandfather’s lineage is as German as can be also. Logically, it would seem that I would identify as German, also.

Paternal grandfather was 2nd generation Hungarian, his father came here first around 1907. His dad’s first wife never came across, she was on the Slavonia which ran aground and she refused to attempt another crossing. She died in 1919 during the flu pandemic and my grandfather always had half siblings in Hungary he never met. the rest is all mutt |

Bad. There were seven, but I was told a fox was able to decimate the flock, and now there are only four. Had they been crows, a murder would have been quite appropriate. |

From a friend.
Too late for me I guess. A friend of the friend that lives in my cellar has a 79 year old friend that will not stop gong out to eat and talking to everyone. My friend told him they can't visit a couple of weeks ago or longer.. Now that guy has a fever. He's going to a walk in clinic without calling ahead. ==================================================================================================== =======================The latest on the coronavirus pandemic. The rule is now familiar, if not utterly routine, for anyone who has ventured outdoors in the middle of the pandemic: Whether walking the dog, buying groceries, or taking out the trash, you should stay more than six feet apart to contain the novel coronavirus. But anyone who goes outside to exercise may need to keep an even greater distance from other runners and joggers, a new European study says, in order to properly practice social distancing. Researchers at KU Leuven in Belgium and the Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands found that someone infected with the virus could pass on respiratory droplets to people more than six feet behind them through a kind of vacuum they form as they cut through the air. “When you are moving — running, cycling, walking — you are actually creating an area behind you that is often called a slipstream,” Bert Blocken, who coordinated the study, told the Brussels Times. Athletes often use these slipstreams to run or bike at a higher speed, Blocken said. AdvertisementAccording to a series of simulations run by his team, a jogger moving at about 2.5 miles per hour was likely to come into contact with the slipstream, and thus, the droplets, of someone exercising as much as 50 feet ahead. The study suggests that runners and cyclists may want to avoid moving directly behind another person and falling into their slipstream, Blocken said, by moving side by side or by in a staggered formation. When such a formation is unavoidable on narrow paths or sidewalks, those seeking an outdoor workout should stay at least 15 feet apart when walking, 33 feet when running or cycling slowly and 65 feet apart for more vigorous exercise, he told the Globe and Mail. |

Bad. I wonder how much a chicken costs to replace? I probably should find that out in advance. |
