Why RV roof vents are a bad idea, 23 December.

I didn't know you were in an RV, buy a cheap tarp to tie over the top of it and save yourself a lot of stress.

Well, apparently, elephants seek revenge too. They really do have good memories.

Pigs are also very vengeful. Here many farmers use an electric fence to keep feral pigs out of their property but if you only use the same lame 80,000 volts used for a cattle fence then the pigs will get angry and destroy the fence. A pig fence runs enough voltage to cause harm - 800,000 volts.

800,000 volts AC sounds like a true metal of a fence, to use Gen Z slang. I know that electric fences are usually DC with pulse monitors, but 800,000 continuous volts AC would make the pig a nice dinner for the farmer.

A pig fence is still only DC, just 10x the normal voltage. My brother got too close to one with the whipper snipper one day, it blackened the palm of one hand and the soles of both feet and he couldn't walk for over a week.

Back now, a bit early. Well, most of the holiday stuff is done for me, fortunately. Kept decently active over the past couple of weeks. More energy lately.

Hamilton is one of the greatest musicals ever produced.

I haven't seen it, though I did get to see an Andrew Lloyd Webber production of "Phantom" in San Francisco back in the 90s. Wow...I still think of it in awe. Up until then I never really contemplated amazing visual special effects in person.

It was an amazing performance. I put it about #3
1. Sweeney Todd
2. Ragtime
3. Hamilton
4. Miss Siagon
5. Les Miserables
6. Once on This Island
Last musical I saw on Broadway was Merrily We Roll Along, with Jonathan Groff (Richard III in Hamilton) and Daniel Radcliffe.

Sometimes musicals hit home runs with commentary - here's a powerful juxtaposition from South Pacific and Into the Woods.

Remember crows can remember your face and will tell their flock, so be nice (or at least not mean).

You should always be nice to animals. Unless they're hornets. Then just run.

It's kinda freaky that starfish limbs can regrow new bodies.

Earthworms do this too, break one in half and the two ends will heal over and regrow the rest of their body, then you'll have two worms.

So, on the way to the bus stop, I threw up and a lot of it got on my work shirt, but I did not have time to go back home to change it. Then my bus was 20 minutes late - over half an hour of standing in the drenching rain. I am wearing my jacket zipped up at the office to hide the state of my shirt. This is not a great morning.

Knowing that the stone fish exists makes me a bit nervous to walk on the beach.

They're mostly reef creatures, stick to sandy beaches and stay away from rocky outcrops and you'll never see one.

Those are scary, but kinda cute, in their own special way.

Another of the most deadliest animal on the planet in Australia! 😃 Of course there is a YouTuber voluntarily getting stung by a Stonefish. "Let's enter the Sting Zone!"

On the game "Count to 1,000", I received the great honor of being able to play the number 476, which is the year the Western Roman Empire fell. Rome is a special interest of mine :) Rome and I have a love/hate relationship for sure. I still to this day curse the Romans, but in other ways, I'm a total groupie.

Nasturtium was a funny one :p

A little rain here. Not much, just 0.6 inch, but since there is a big hole in my roof from where the vent was and my uncle's solution to cover it didn't really work out I woke up to a wet floor. I use aluminum baking pans and some buckets to catch it but my floor was still a mess. cont...

Cheap (but tall) plastic buckets are good for this, and put a little bit of water in the bottom of the bucket to start with. This deadens the noise a bit and also makes the bucket harder to tip over if you stumble in to it in the middle of the night.

Seemed like a lot of rain when it came over the Sierras last night. But then we really needed it for this month.

@Judge it went to the south of me for the most part. The heaviest stuff went through Redding and then worked its way down to Reno.

Bioluminescent oceans are so beautiful. I can't believe it's all plankton.

You can buy dynoflagellates (bioluminescent plankton) in small globes if you are interested in experimenting with them.
