  • On tour at a raptor rescue center.

    Tour goes into their small raptor “play” enclosure, there more to keep them safe from the wild raptors in the area.

    They bring in this tiny and adorable kite, it took some offered bits of food(bits of raw meat provided by the center) from us.

    Wild Junco(that we previously had not noticed) in the enclosure did not agree about the cuteness of the kite. (It got out unharmed.)








  • Yeah, this isn’t news to me that this is a thing. Saw articles on this ~ 20 years ago. Complete with grainy images of the tiny flatworms “fencing”.

    Was weird then. Got used to the idea since. Worse to me is some of parasites like toxoplasma gondii that just get to rewrite what smells you like so that they can get back into a cat.









  • No, don’t live on Earth in Star Trek.

    As the functional capital of the federation and HQ of starfleet, its like living in DC comics Metropolis. Every damned alien race capable of plotting has a secret plot on Earth. Whether its some weird parasitic bugs taking over the admiralty, the borg, the romulans, the Dominion, or the upstart of the week, the casualty/injury rate has to be pretty horrific.

    Mars is theoretically ideal, but get targeted because of the massive public shipyards, so it has a time limit of being good.

    Jupiter, however, has less well known shipyards and all those moons to explore. It never gets outright attacked or destroyed, even the Borg just go past it. Jupiter is the place to be.
