Reminds me of a fall MrsO had. We just arrived at our daughter's place in Buffalo. MrsO volunteered to take her dogs for a walk. She tripped over an uneven piece of sidewalk. Just a few bumps and bruises, but could have been a vacation ender. Not really the dog's fault though.
Retired high school biology teacher here. Von Helmont's experiments were an integral part of my introduction to photosynthesis. We would not be here w/o that process.
Major props to this man. Scouting was part of my youth and it taught me many useful lessons. Sad to know of yet another troop disbanding. Troop 81 Syracuse NY RIP.
I'm 77 and when I was younger I thought I'd see humans on Mars. Guess I won't make it. Those who do go are going to have to be VERY special people, psychologically and skill wise. I wish them well. It's our destiny to send our DNA out into the galaxy and beyond.
I had a cat, a neutered B&W male I called Stinky. He was a real hunter. Once he brought home a rat he killed. I saw him hunting in an abandoned cemetery about 5 blocks from our house.
When I had my heart surgery a few years ago, I remember being in a prep area and looking at a clock that said 8:30 AM. The next thing I remember, thinking I'm still in the prep area, seeing a clock that said 9:00 AM. I thought I had dozed off for a half hour. Actually I was in post-op and it was the next day! Kind of freaked me out that I had lost a whole day.
Funny one.
