See?? You just admitted it. Hmm, I can still smell smoke. Must have been a lightning strike started a fire. A forestry helicopter showed up and made several trips with a bucket carrying water from the lake to dump on the fire. Considering it’s quick return it couldn’t be more than half a mile or so away.

Whoa! Hopefully they were able to put it out!😲

I hope so too. Tonight we are supposed to get some heavy smoke come in from a fire about 40 miles north of here, it’s about 14,000 acres and out of control. Quite a few fires around the area right now it seems. So we have been told to keep windows closed. Right, and suffocate. I’ll keep mine open. These old windows don’t keep smoke out anyway.

No, he didn’t sting, couldn’t see a stinger on it and I was certainly close enough. About the size of a fly, a bit thinner though, and smooth. Black and yellow markings but didn’t look like a wasp either. Pretty though.

The queen. She starts over in the spring and raises a bunch of workers and drones. Workers are infertile females. Only the queen is fertile. There are more than 3,300 species of bees in N. America.

And if the hive gets too big, they will raise a new queen and send her off to start a new hive.

I went to watch My Grandson and Daughter each receive their 1st degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do this morning. Then another lady that received her 3rd or 4th degree black belt broke a one inch thick concrete paver with her foot. She tried 3 times with her hand and wasn’t successful so she did it with her foot. It was impressive. She couldn’t have been a hundred pounds soaking wet so it was surprising she did it.

Hmm, I didn’t know they had different kinds of black belts, I just thought once you got the black belt that was it, you were on top. Shows how much I don’t know.😳 I saw a guy break a 2 inch concrete paver with his foot.😬 He just stepped on it. He weighed about 400 lbs.🤣🤣 Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Not legal to deduct the cost from the rent since I would be doing it without permission. But they’re not expensive, I should just get it and forget it. Problem is, I forget it when I’m out shopping. Sigh.🙄

Here pigeons are traditionally used as love messengers, back when there is no power, no trustable humans, they used pigeons, these days they use them to conduct race, and test their flipping skills in the air and finding who comes to their owner when dropped in an unknown location, it’s quiet a big drama happen here with pigeons 😅 you must watch them on YouTube ☺️ you will love it. no, they don’t eat their eggs, I think 🙄🤔
