Random Thoughts or Whatever

Crows are just phenomenally smart and cool. I am wishing I could find a crow as a backyard pet. Our new location doesn't feature much of a crow population like our last location did.

Considering the crow brain is 1/1200th the size of a human, they are one of my favorite OVER achievers! The most obvious implication is that humans haven't really tapped into their brainpower yet.
They are very smart, cunning too. They are the bad boys in the bird neighborhood though and sometimes one might throw attitude towards a person, seriously. Not many, two come to mind, but over the years I've seen a few that seemed downright possessed. If one was a friendly regular I could see having it as a wild pet. I do believe they mate for life.
 
I was sitting out on the front yard watching the crows digging up nuts that the squirrels had just buried. The birds will follow the squirrels around and dig up the nuts, as they were being buried.

Then, one squirrel ran across the street to bury some nuts in the neighbor's yard and got run over by a car. The crows immediately went over and started eating the dead squirrel.

Life is full of ironic lessons. No? :idea:
I hope the chickens have watched and learned :oops:

I was sitting in my backyard a few years ago. About a fifty parrots were flying and then landed in a tree. Then came about fifty crows that landed in a nearby tree. They were all making loud noises. It felt like the Bloods and Crypts ( gangs back in the 80s) all over again. Anyway one of the crows started dive bombing the tree that the parrots were in. One of the parrots flew out of the tree. Two crows flew out of the other tree and started flying after that parrot. They kept flying after that parrot. Like an aero dogfight. After a while two more crows started flying towards that parrot to relieve the other two. The original two flew back to their tree to rest. Kinda like a tag team. That poor parrot was getting exhausted. The whole time they were doing this all the birds in both trees were yelling at each other. It was so loud. Finally all the parrots took off and the all the crows took off after them. Then they were all gone. The whole event lasted about 20 minutes.
 
I remember being on Mt. Wilson, the antenna farm for Southern California. Totally swamped out the tuner of the car radio. I could sense it... strangest feeling, a most unsettling stillness, most unpleasant. I don't know how the transmitter people could live in that on a daily basis. There were no birds in sight.
This might explain why all the old station engineers I've known were all CRAZY~~!

And not crazy in a good way...

It might. I can say without doubt the electric fields were strong enough to make your head feel tight, no other way to describe it, very uncomfortable, like nausea with out the sickness. I can't imagine there are not long term consequences. Think I've read about skewed cancer rates.
 
Used to be in engineering for GE medical MRI scanners.

Worked inside the Bore for 15 minutes once then walked at an angle for 20 minutes...

That's at 1.5 Tesla, But they said don't worry your heart won't stop until 3 Tesla's or so... :(

Magnetically shielded MRI's were 40,000 lbs!

Last item, A huge unexplained cancer cluster is located I think in Des Moines, Iowa which is also one of the largest and oldest cluster of satellite uplink dishes.

i have a hundred milkweed plants in my yard.i will have 1000's of seeds.
one cost cutting crap this city has done is create "no mow" zones [so they dont have to mow lots of green spaces] its just weeds and rye grass.
