Bird feeder got new, taller support and the birdies approve :)

Sad news :(

Seeing a review of The Terror did lead me on a fascinating dive through Internet on the topic of Franklin expedition and esp. the implications of Inuit oral histories. So given the recent finds of wrecks... Any good book to read? :)

The pillars of Hercules. Lions, dragons and merpeople be beyond them...

RIP James Earl Jones. Dart Vader's voice, Mufasa, CNN, Admiral Greer... And much more.

People be crazy, Over. Bohemia and Moravia bracing foe floods, Vltava close to invading the polder... And this guy.

Reading up on Franklin's expedition leads down so many rabbit holes... Such as in 1884 the survivors of yacht Mignonette were found guilty of homicide for killing and eating a cabin boy not because they did the deed, but because they did not draw lots on who is to be eaten :o

Another slightly clueless question re. hurricanes: Since the Lakeland Linder is very close to Milton path, did the NOAA WP-3's relocate before its arrival?

Did not hear about tornadoes accompanying/preceding hurricanes... Milton seems to be really a bad deal. Fingers crossed for everyone in Florida.

TEAL72 is already pretty close to the coast, doing its triangle around the eye... Best of luck to everyone in Florida! flightradar24.com/TEAL72/377881f9

Inside Hurricane Milton, Saildrone reported wave height of 28.12 feet and wind gusts as strong as 75.95 mph while 40 nautical miles from the center of the storm. This research represents a collaborative endeavor to better understand the role of the ocean in hurricanes.

As Milton creeps to landfall, NOAA Kermit (red) and USAF TEAL73 (blue) arrived to the zone...

After a long time WoWs stream... with just lil' me. May chat have mercy on my soul. #worlofwarships

The memes wite themselves. So... What will they do with a drunken sailor?

Happy 2025 everyone! While Czech cities turn into fireworks inferno by default, in my corner of Prague the Vietnamese community goes into overdrive even more - looks like their entire market is at war :)
