    The pictures they used to teach us the tides as children came to make less sense to me in regards to certain places having higher tides than others. I couldn’t picture how. That animation clarified how tides are ordered by the Moon and made chaotic by the shapes of land. The planetary ocean bulges they taught us as kids stuck with me too long and prevented deeper understanding. It finally clicked for me.

    I have hummingbird feeders. Recently I was peeing in my garden and one flew thru my stream.

    Does that make me a Disney princess?

    Unrelated, I actually have had a songbird alight upon my finger early one morning while watching the sunrise. I screamed and hurled it back into the sky.
