Humans aren't sponges!

The reason we humans are not sponges is because our ancestors were worse at being sponges than the ancestors of modern spongers. Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/Db38e12D6OW/

How are there Flat Earthers in Denver, of all places‽

When I first moved to the Denver area, the location struck me as a place with geology and weather that would serve as its own evidence against flat Earth concepts, with a mountain range that extends beyond the horizon in two directions, no visibility beyond the horizon when looking Eastward (even when looking over the Great Plains from Front Range peaks), and morning and evening Sunlight that illuminates the bottom of low altitude clouds. Imagine my surprise when I found out this is a hotbed for Flat Earth nonsense. Like, do any of these people spend any time outside enjoying the beauty of the region‽

Trail Walking with a Say's Phoebe

 

A bird that appears to be a Say's Phoebe was jumping from fence post to fence post ahead of me and Joie while we walked, until it finally flew onto a nearby bush, on a Mid-Spring morning. It kind of seemed like they wanted us to follow, but maybe they were just keeping an eye out for any bugs we might stir up as we walked along the trail, a behavior for which Flycatchers are known.

(Also, it's funny that the AI gave Bryan Cranston the arms of Kevin Hart)

Moon, Venus and Regulus having a party in the morning sky

What I saw on the morning of Sept 19 thru my window. I went outside to snap this shoot. My trusty Pixel was able to reasonably capture the sight with very little effort.

Old Fashioneds are always different everywhere

Old Fashioneds are always a bit different everywhere. I didn't used to try them, but now it's become a point of study to try one at interesting places, like Speakeasies.
