I have a new toy. An action camera. Not a GoPro but a knockoff that costs literally one tenth of what a GoPro does but is only 60% as good. It’s my second of this type and it is really good. I experimented on Kodi with it. He couldn’t figure out if it was a toy to play with or food to eat. It is pretty tiny.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So I also experimented on Lizzy the Cat with it. I think that people who experiment on pets are terrible, don’t you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I went on a bike ride the other day. I stopped for a rest break at the Turkey Mountain lower parking lot. I saw this dinosaur skeleton off in the woods on a trail meant for children. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Later in my bike ride I happened on this “pouch” of American White Pelicans on a sandbar in the Arkansas River. I love all the various collective nouns for birds. My favorite is a murder of crows. Other terms for a group of pelicans are “squadron”, “pod”, “pouch” or “scoop”. You can always call them a flock, other terms are “brief”, “raft” or “rookery.” I love it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
