Fun fact? I rarely drink hard liquor or cocktails. Sometimes wine, a bloody mary at the airport. A margarita if I'm at a resort. But I'm really just a beer guy. I couldn't tell you the last time I bought a fifth of vodka or anything like that. So, yeah I didn't order anything off that menu.

About me, I dislike beer very much and I very rarely drink any alcohol. I grew up surrounded by continually drunk adults and I drank A LOT in high school, coupled with recreational drugs. Once I was out of high school and away from my family tho, I switched to occasional imbibing and acid dropping.

I remember having easy access to "Joe Cool" out of Muncie, IN. It was a long paper hit with a Snoopy wearing a collegiate sweater on one side... like a really well done one. I imagined a Gutenberg press somewhere in a Ball State basement pressing whole sheets out 24/7. It was impressive, in its way.

Snoopy drawing as his Joe Cool alter ego wearing shades and a collegiate sweater with Joe Cool embroidered on it.

#Bird of the Day: Least Grebe (LEGR) In my region, the Pied-billed Grebe is the most unassuming looking of grebe, but the LEGR, found in Central & South America & the Caribbean, is even smaller & perhaps even more unassuming. Its most striking feature is a bright yellow eye; a white wing patch is

visible in flight. But you won’t see them flying much; they're usually floating serenely on shallow bodies of freshwater or tucked among vegetation at the banks. For breeding, these #birds appear to prefer marshy areas that are wet only part of the time; this is believed to be because those spots

are devoid of large fish that may prey on grebe chicks. Those chicks are a perfect example of “precociality” in #birds, meaning that they're remarkably capable shortly after hatching. In LEGR, downy chicks can climb upon mother’s back for protection only 20 minutes after hatching. Give them 20 more

minutes & they can cling to her as she dives for food. How precocious is that?! LEGR are often seen with their back & tail feathers fluffed up to expose their skin. 🪶 Their skin is black & absorbs the sun’s UV radiation, which I imagine feels nice, & also can inhibit ticks & mites. I’m always

amused to remember the grebe Family name: Podicepedidae, which roughly translates from Latin to mean that their feet are on their rear end. And truly, they are set so far back that these #birds have trouble walking on land; that leg placement & their lobed toes give them mad diving skills.

An ancient and magical amber bear 🐻 ✨ Carved some 10,000 years ago, it washed up on a beach at Fanø in Denmark from a submerged Mesolithic settlement under the North Sea. National Museum of Denmark in Copenhagen 📷 by me #Archaeology

My photo shows a small and ancient figurine of an amber bear carved some 10,000 years ago during the Danish Mesolithic period. The museum lighting makes the amber glow translucent orange against a dark display case background. The bear is displayed on a small metal stand viewed in profile facing right. The ears, muzzle, and mouth are defined. The neck has a polished groove suggesting it was once suspended on a cord. The characteristic shoulder hump of a brown bear is clearly defined. There are some finely incised horizontal lines along the belly. The legs are incomplete. Length 6.5cm. Amber has many properties which may have been associated with 'magic' for ancient peoples. For example, when rubbed against fur, amber produces static electricity which can give off sparks in the dark, make hair stand on end, and attract small things towards it.
The bear was found in 1991 on a west coast beach of the Danish North Sea island of Fanø. It is one of a small number of amber animal figurines from the Baltic Sea region which have been assigned to the Mesolithic period by means of a typo-chronological approach and /or other contextual information.
