#WhyIAmASolo - I Will Never Have To Have A Job Interview In Which I Say What Animal I Would Be.

Setting aside the fact that I would never work for someone who asked a question as stupid as: "If you were an animal, what would you be, and why?" Are you kidding me? I may not make as much money as a solo; but, I assure you that I will never ask myself what kind of animal I want to be. Jeez.

 

The Oxford Comma Again Rears Its Ugly Head.

Put shoes on your animals, for God's sake. And, explain to them that smoking kills.

Cows Are Now Rocking Virtual Reality - Are We In The Matrix?

Some farmers are giving VR glasses to their cows to keep them relaxed and calm, and producing more milk. But, if we are all living in the Matrix (think VR without the glasses), will VR glasses put us in a Matrix of the Matrix? Inquiring minds want to know. Of course, in the Matrix, it doesn't matter how many Matrices you are in. It's all relative.

Waggle - Monitor Your Pet In The RV Or Anywhere.

Waggle Pet Monitor. RV travelers have been flocking to the Waggle Pet Monitor, which monitors ambient temperature, and location by combining a GPS with temperature sensors, and connects to the Internet. A Smartphone app tells the owners the condition of their pets, who are in the RV while the owners are away. WiFi video cameras can be handy for monitoring homes and offices, and could even be installed in an RV. But, temperature sensors can prevent overheating of a pet trapped in an RV that loses power. The monitor is portable, and can be used anywhere, so it is not restricted to RV use.

#TBT - Memento Mori, Human.

I shot this photo at Zoo Tampa, some years ago, on a visit with SWMBO. I was struck then by the thousand yard stare of an animal that is housed in a prison of sorts; but, who still lives each day, and breathes the air, and eats and sleeps. Life is precious, no matter the circumstance. Being conscious of our inevitable death is not morbid; it is life affirming. 

Seriously? You Would Rather Sit At This Computer?

We are not amused, lawyer boy.

#ParrotSunday - Parrots, Meet Your Cousin, The Alligator.

Bird, Meet Your Cousin, The Alligator. While I was roaming around yesterday in the Myakka Wilderness Preserve, and carrying my camera with my new doubling adapter (My 18mm to 400 mm lens became a 36 mm to 800 mm lens), I wasn't thinking about the recent flooding or the near 100 degree heat. It occurred to me that the high water levels in the swamp made it easier for the gators to get me. A gator can go from zero to 25 miles per hour in an instant. What did occur to me was that my favorite birds, the parrots, were descended from the same group, the Archosaurs, as alligators. Cousins, as it were. So, Pinot, Rio, Pepper and Lemon, meet your cousin, who will eat you for lunch, family connection notwithstanding.

Why Dogs Are Better Than Cats.

Sorry, Cat Lovers. The truth hurts.

#ParrotSunday - You Can't Hold Me.

Just so we're clear, I am in here of my own volition. You can't hold me.
