Ferris Akel – Napping Raccoon
An evening pause: This is how many of us all feel at the end of a hard week. Music is the “Daydream” by the Lovin’ Spoonful.
Hat tip Ferris Akel, who filmed this on September 21, 2024.
On Christmas Eve 1968 three Americans became the first humans to visit another world. What they did to celebrate was unexpected and profound, and will be remembered throughout all human history. Genesis: the Story of Apollo 8, Robert Zimmerman's classic history of humanity's first journey to another world, tells that story, and it is now available as both an ebook and an audiobook, both with a foreword by Valerie Anders and a new introduction by Robert Zimmerman.
The print edition can be purchased at Amazon. from any other book seller, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit.
The ebook is available everywhere for $5.99 (before discount) at amazon, or direct from my ebook publisher, ebookit. If you buy it from ebookit you don't support the big tech companies and the author gets a bigger cut much sooner.
The audiobook is also available at all these vendors, and is also free with a 30-day trial membership to Audible.
"Not simply about one mission, [Genesis] is also the history of America's quest for the moon... Zimmerman has done a masterful job of tying disparate events together into a solid account of one of America's greatest human triumphs."--San Antonio Express-News

This was a lucky sighting, and very much unexpected. I hope you will all enjoy it as much as I did.
Ferris–
Checked out your YouTube channel, you have some great stuff!
I’m on the SW Michigan coastline; we have an incredibly number of Deer and Turkey wandering around.
Total tangent, in honor of the upcoming Holiday.
Contrary to WKRP In Cincinnati, turkeys can fly. Industrial franken-turkeys are barely alive, but the wild versions can fly, they roost in trees.

wayne,
Thank you, very much, for the kind words! Truly appreciated!
Have a very Happy Thanksgiving!
Ferris-
Dude, you have like’ 1,500 videos…. Amazing!
(Your Pileated Woodpecker from 2016 is pretty cool!)
Do you have some sort of live-stream going on tonight?
Whoops,

Looked for a boon
What he found was
a hollow tree trunk
The tree it was said
Let him sleep like the dead
Unafraid
Of his rival
wayne,
Thanks again! I DID have a live stream today, as you noted. I am no bird watching expert, but I have been regularly live-streaming my bird watching efforts for more than 12 years. Sharing the birds, and anything else of interest, with others in real-time is truly a joy for me.
They are little trash pandas. Cut but pains in the can.
When I catch them trying to get into my trash cans I shoot them in the fanny with a pellet gun. It doesn’t penetrate but it does sting so they learn to stay away.
When they get larger that doesn’t even keep them away sometimes. They even attack.
Out comes a live trap and a can of cat food. A 5 mile drive out of town and let them go.
But watch they can carry rabies.
Blair-
Hilarious!

I have so much nature in my area its sick. Deer from the park walk my yard.
I love nature but sometimes it just gets to be a little much.
