Alex, our black cat, has been crying lately. He looks so cute and so pitiful that we feel sorry for him. I think he has spring fever and wants to go outside. He does not understand the dangers of coyotes, alligators, cars, and...

I think kids are making YouTube videos with AI. I do not like some of the reels. I have seen videos of child abuse, violence, crimes, inappropriate behavior, and videos I don't even understand of strange characters and loud music....

We celebrate Easter in our family.
My kids got Easter Baskets with green shreds for grass. We filled the basket with candy and small toys, often chicks or bunnies. It seems that they stuffed themselves with too much candy.

I heard a commotion outside at the pond. I saw a magnificent Roseate Spoonbill. It was pink and its bill was big and flat like a shovel. It was flipping fish out of the water and gobbling them up.
I tried to take a picture using...

Another balloon has been spotted floating over the US. NORAD spotted it in Nevada and sent jets up to investigate. They say it is not a threat because it is only 50 feet tall and does not have a rudder..

I know I haven't been here lately. I have a good excuse. Or, maybe it is not so good. You judge.

I had a very unsuccessful day on the internet today. I have email problems where I am getting ancient emails from years ago as if they are new. Besides that, I tried to sign up for Upwork which was a total disaster.
Besides that,...
