    Up here in extreme western NY State we still have deer the size of deer, black bear, pheasant, fox, rabbits, groundhogs(woodchucks), beaver, wild turkey, squirrels, and chipmunks.  And those are only the critters I've actually seen in the wild, in the last decade, alive, and without getting more that 20 feet from a paved surface.

    In my area we have deer, fox, rabbits, groundhogs, wild turkeys, squirrels and chipmunks (I think those two are pretty much everywhere in New England).  In fact, my sister is visiting and she told me last night that a deer ran right by her, within reach, as she was standing outside her car.  I've seen fox on my street, as has my wife, and on three occasions I've seen coyotes.  Once during the daytime, in the winter.  I was shoveling snow in my driveway, got in the car to warm up for a minute, looked to my left and there he was, casually prancing across the street into my neighbor's yard.  I was glad I was inside the car.  No black bear, though.  But they are around in the greater Boston area and metro west area.

    But don't forget that Florida also has wild hogs! 

    And palmetto bugs!

    Dana

    Yes, all my aforementioned critters are seen throughout the northeast, but do your deer play tennis?  Or do your woodchucks assemble with the squirrels, chipmunks, rabbits and turkeys to form an orchestra?  The bears just sit back and watch.  Sorry, lost the video.indecision

    When I lived in Florida, I saw many eagles.  Driving across state, out in the boondocks, swamps, and cattle ranches, the eagles have nests at the top of the power lines.  There was even an eagle in the city of Melbourne that nested somewhere near our house.   Also, in the city of Melbourne, while in the hospital parking lot I watched a Great Horned Owl (big big owl) survey the land from a corner of one of the hospital buildings, then swoop down and grab some little critter from the weeds.

  • fixmypcmikefixmypcmike Posts: 19,684

    Not so much a complaint as a "Huh?"

    Today's email from Lands' End:  "Grand Finale!  July 4th Sale ends tonight"

    And I thought Daz Time was confusing.

    Yeah, I run into that problem a lot.  My usual response is "Please slow down, old people listen slowly."   Speed talking is a youth thing.  Ever listen to young children?  They're like chipmunks.

    And it's not that old brains are that much slower at processing data, (well, not I hope, until at least 10 more years for me), it's that we have so much more experience that we need to sift through all the possibilities that the young'ns haven't thought about yet.  Some young whippersnapper tries to tell me how things work and there is a flood of "yeah, but what about..." thoughts that go through my head and by time I stop thinking about the "but what abouts", the whippershapper has moved on three more sentences.frown  So, I tell him to back up and he thinks I'm stupid.  I'm just polite and not pointing out his naivetecheeky, or arguing with his worldview until he gets way off track.indecision

    I sometimes believe that the less you know, the faster you talk and the smaller your vocabulary.

    Genuine complaint... on the 28th of JUNE I went into Target and they were putting in the "back to school" stuff...

    What the flippyfruck are these people thinking?... They removed all the summer stuff and are moving on to autumn.

    Boohooohooo... retail stores are dying... seriously? You stop selling relevant seasonal item a few weeks into the season and you wonder why you have problems.

    The 28th of June they moved on to back to school... Technically (if it wasn't for the lockdown) the last day of school around here would be between the 18th to the 22nd... so kids would get out of school and a week later the back to school crap is out... ?

    Geez.

    Non-complaint:  Wheeee... I've broken the 230 mark.  For the first time in about 8 years, my weight has fallen below 230 pounds.  I was 229.4 this morning and I hadn't even emptied myself.  Yay!smiley  I'm down 20 pounds from my high point.  I still look like crap but I feel better than in a long time.  Next goal, 225, heading toward 200 or below.  Hoping to have to buy smaller clothes someday.

    How'd I do it, you may ask.  Well, it wasn't exercise!cheeky  I started avoiding icecream, potatochip binges and full bowls of pasta,  I still have a weakness for cookies but buy them in smaller quantities and try to make them last longer.  Also, this current forced isolation has helped.  No oversized, yummy, restaurant meals twice a week, no spontaneous snacks at a food boutique, long times between grocery shopping.  You know, bubble life.indecision

    Geez.

    The thing about the back to school things is clothes!  They know damn well that kids grow fast in the summer!  By the time school is ready to start, they've already outgrown the new clothes and need more!  They do it on purpose!

    Non-complaint:  Wheee...  My new replacement 7-port USB2 hub arrived today.  After one of my two old 7-port USB2 hubs died I've been kludged up with various cables rerouted to other ports or computers or just simply unplugged for almost 2 weeks.  But today I got my hands dirty, crawled behind the computer, untangled some wires, removed an unnecessary power brick, rethought my USB needs and was able to remove the other partially crippled USB2 hub (4 of 7 ports were dead) and consolidate all my USB2 needs into my new USB-7port hub and find some more visible desk space.  Call it a late spring cleaning.  All 7 ports of new hub tested and functional.  Yay!  Also all 8 USB2 ports in computer tested and functional. Double yay!!  Also, all 4 USB3 ports in computer tested and functional.  Triple yay!!!  And I still have the two USB2 ports on the front panel empty so there are no ugly wires snaking out of the front of my machine.  I'm in USB heaven again.  smiley  And the icing on the cake is that I have one and a half 7-port USB hubs squirreled away in a storage box for emergency use.  Yeah, yeah, I realize I could have just done all the rethinking and rewiring without ordering a new 7-port hub but, the two old hubs are over 12 years old, both the same model, and one was already half dead, so it was time.indecision

    7?!!

    Yes, 7.  The hubs are designed with two 4-port chips, one of the ports from one chip is used as the link back to the computer.  The other 7 are ports to connect to 7 other devices.   So, it's completely understandable why one of my two USB hubs had 4 ports die at the same time. Physics.  Something let the blue smoke out of one of the chips. smiley
