What are you doing today?

I cant believe that a raccoon just cut off the electricity at the office...

I called on site and the electricians found a roasted raccoon at the foot of the electric pole, He fused the protection on the link.

That’s shocking.

That’s shocking.

Actually the same thing happened in Sheridan Wyoming several years ago but it was a large bull snake that got into a electrical sub station. Knocked out power for around 4000 customers.

I was in Pennsylvania many years ago doing some equipment troubleshooting. It became necessary to move some vending machines to gain access to a wall. The maintenance fella brought us a hand truck then cautioned us about moving the machines. Seems rattle snakes would crawl into the back to lay next to the warm compressor. We moved the machine and there it was, a 3 to 4-foot rattler. That was it for me that day.

Does anyone know about a good image hosting service on the Internet? I have used Flickr for a few years, until about 2014, when they ruined the interface. So, I went to Imgur. Now the hosting service has bugs. I have several hundred images. Facebook has been the best for now. I do not know if there is a free hosting service. If not, I will have to develop all the photos, as if I were still in the 2000s...

Some new photos.

I keep a blog post on blogger.com to dump photos on so I can share them on forums and such. Google photos is OK too. Not great.

Snakes gotta stay warm too, I guess...

That experience would have brought me instant fame as the first man to fly without wings .

I'd be rattled by that too.

Mess with them, and they can become cold blooded killers.

I actually host an image site. No bells or whistles just storage although you can have all the albums you want as sub albums to your main. Yje UI would likely also look a bit odd. It was put up for some photographer friends and does zero compression on uploaded images so what you put up is what you see,

Gave my discus some fresh-water. They always hate when i am actually doing the water change but afterwards they seem more chippery.

Drove six hours back from Raleigh after watching grandkids while my daughter and son in law took a week’s vacation. During the car trip I listen to a book entitled The Cello Suites that described how the cellist Pablo Casal discovered 6 previously unknown cello suites composed by J.S. Bach in a small music store in Barcelona. The books describes the life and times of both musicians. Once home I fed many hungry fish and performed water changes on 4 of my 8 tanks. I’m whooped.

Just got back from a music/art teacher get together. There was no sing-along at this one, but much good food and many good hunting stories.
