#NEAR THE HIGHWAY

[geopsych]

Went to a different woods today, not far away, and saw some good birds.

This is a rufus-sided or eastern towhee, a recently returned migrant. They dig in the leaves with both feet. I let the video go on for a few seconds because at the end it makes the sound that got it its name.

A truck crash unleashing millions of angry bees? Gotta give it to the writers, only they can come up with such a crazy idea. I'm glad we live in the real world, not the 9-1-1 universe...

Or Australia. Or Missouri. Or Maine. Or Utah. Or Washington. Or Montana.

Not sure if there's anything official- based only on a vaguely similar shape and location and seemingly supported by the map pictures released by Dreamworks TV recently, would Yaz's island be Frank Island in Yellowstone National Park? Only for JWE2 building reference purposes 😁

It's possible it was used for some visual inspiration, but I think the EXACT location in Wyoming was probably meant to be a little vague, as a fictional location.

It's funny bc the people in my life who admonish me for not driving (specifically family) all hate driving so much. They hate the cost between payments, insurance, gas, repairs etc, they hate other drivers, they hate driving longer than 30 minutes, they hate having to park, they hate the car itself half the time, they hate the environmental impacts, they hate the constant fear of hitting an animal or pedestrian, they get out of the car in a worse mood than when they got in it, and they resent that they have to drive in the first place. my friend this is one of the few parts of the country with halfway decent transit. might I introduce to you the SmarTrip card and some patience

Ben saying to Jay he doesn't want him to make the same mistakes he did, and Ben haters (some also hate Callum) are still like "Ben is a hypocrite, he is not perfect" Did you purposely ignore the part where Ben doesn't want Jay to make the same mistakes he did?

Visited New York for the weekend from Florida and my main take away is that I need Disney to please lobby Florida to build monorails everywhere

nothing like drinking coke in the middle of the night, putting on an angsty spotify playlist, only the light of the lamp in my room as i work on my thesis functioning on 5 hours of sleep from the prev night, being so physically tired bc i had a busy day, telling myself that the end is so, so near.

Nothing like wondering why there hasn't been another update on the nearby fires when there's always one around 8pm only to see my town 'trending' on Twitter (aka it probably saw me looking) and all I see there in the search is a bunch of people panicking and spreading misinformation, saying the town is surrounded by fire, everything is burning, etc. and yet we're not even under an evacuation alert. I fucking hate social media because even something like this gets people lying openly online.

today i learned that in 2013 in new zealand some poor guy was just driving around with his girlfriend when he was suddenly decapitated... and no one knows what hit him.

just as they passed an oncoming vehicle, his girlfriend said she saw an object fly through their windshield, kill her boyfriend, then exit through the back of the car. no one was ever able to actually find the object, or the other car/driver (they stopped after the accident, so they knew something happened, but then drove away from the scene) and forensic examination was never able to determine what it was based on the damage it did. the girlfriend described the object as beige and tissue box or brick-sized, and the evidence suggested it might have been or contained stainless steel, had a rough sandpapery texture, and probably had dirt on it (as it left behind a bunch of minerals common to the soil on the south island).

his name was rutger hale if you want to know more but there doesn't really seem to be a lot to know. it was almost certainly a horrible, tragic accident, and unless the other driver is identified we'll likely never know what the object was. there isn't a point to this post really i just found the story interesting

The tropical monsoon heat got the wild fire started near my office building 😳

A Black Bear Munching on Some Grass Along the Icefields Parkway (Banff National Park) by Mark Stevens Via Flickr: What a day to start off some time spend along the Icefields Parkway! Funny...strange...interesting, take your pick. This day with the drive started with a black bear and ended at pretty much the same spot with a grizzly bear. Both were walking and eating away at the grass in this meadow off the road.
