This is only notable because... it has no batteries in it.

"On an ice-crystal, quiet night, I was outside looking at the stars when I heard a howl-like whining or crying coming from one of the trees down along the two-track road.

I later learned it had been a gray fox, which can climb trees."

The other atom asks, "Are you sure?"

The first replies, "Yes, I’m absolutely positive!"

Not a bird I expected to see today.

Thought I saw it two days ago, across the county line. But it was perched on a tree, visible from a bridge over the water where the speed limit is 50mph. No where to stop.

Went back today, to a nearby birding location at dusk and found it behind the reeds.

While common in late spring, summer, and fall, a Great Egret is a rare bird for southeast Michigan in December.

"In one ear out the other" is such a weird expression.

Do you know the difference between double clicking and triple clicking text on a web page?

I have to admit it took me years before I knew about triple clicking text.

Double clicking or double tapping with the touchpad on text will select a single word.

Triple clicking on text will select a paragraph of text. You can triple tap on the touchpad for the same results.
