This small BBC video is incredible. The BBC did a whole bunch of these. They made fake animals and fitted them with cameras. Placed with like species they can record reactions and get amazing closeups.



If you want more of these, youtube “BBC earth spy in the wild”.

I know most everyone is sick and tired with COVID .. and, I suppose, rightfully so .. I caught this on PBS Frontline last night, and they went ahead and posted it to YouTube .. it's a great piece, and I personally would not consider anything Frontline has done to be less than the truth ..

Times I wonder if America is forgetting we're still in the big middle of this thing ..

This "season" saw season two of their "spy in the wild" with the new hardware. PBS ran it recently, might be able to stream it from them or maybe BBC.

Short "samples" here :)

As a recovering alcoholic, the Serenity Prayer has always had special meaning for me and Nancy. If things were extra tough we also used the shortened version - *-it! After 35+ years it is still as appropriate and special today. Thank you for sharing.

I'm one of them also!

...and I also use the "shortened" version frequently!:D

I tried that water up your nose thing a couple times cause hubs had one and wouldn’t use it. Couldn’t blame him,I couldn’t do it myself.


I've used the navage unit...it didn't help a teeny tiny bit!Even with the salt solution!

    Well - It's finally happen, Laptop has decided that it only wants to take longer naps . . . It will turn on and actually shut off a minute later . . . :( Guess you can say it has become totally senentary in it's old age . . . So it's back to using the - just as finicky - tablet. . . Gonna be difficult to find & search for an inexpensive & decent new laptop via the internet, since most website won't open on the tablet . . . However, some how I will persever, just won't be posting as much again and there is so many post I want to respond to too . . . :lol: :lol: :lol: Oh well - I'll still be lurking and leaving "likes", etc. , even a few short post every so often . . . Until then - everyone stay safe . . . Just Sayin' . . . :rolleyes:

    Is this usual? Can you get a different insurance company? How much time do you have to make all the changes?
    Down here its usual. No homeowners insurance, no mortgage. No mortgage, no house. I'm checking on a new policy but they all want inspectors. Ive got 20 days but I spent all day calling insurance companies and everyone wanted an inspection

    Yes, but another company might find less costly repairs.

    Our last 3 laptops have been refurbished. You can buy a very good one for much less than new but you need to do your homework and get it from a trusted source.
    Refurbished Laptops: Are They Worth It? (& Where to Get Them)

    This company is well known in the electronics world. I'm not happy to hear they were recently bought by a Chinese company.

    Happy Thursday, lizards.

    Had an unexpected visitor, yesterday. A big yellow thing showed up, way up in the air. Thought it must have been a UFO, but id didn't move like one...

    Well - It's finally happen, Laptop has decided that it only wants to take longer naps . . . It will turn on and actually shut off a minute later . . . :( Guess you can say it has become totally sedentary in it's old age . . .

    Sounds like me before coffee... :facepalm:

    At least you have the data backed. Starting to sound like some chip on the MOBO is overheating. Age (and the usual build-up of internal dust) are finally catching up.

    Best Buy and, I think, Office Depot, also have refurbs, but, hopefully, outlets will be having July 4 sales soon. :nun:
