Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

In the backyard, there's a piece of bread that ants have been working on all day long. If the neighborhood squirrel comes by and decides the bread is his, will he eat all those ants?

I think squirrels do eat insects so yes they'd eat the ants too.
 
I never read how he fell only that he suffered a bad fall. Did he slip on the ice? Ladder?

No, it was just a fall following a day's work at a convention. He didn't know how serious the injury was (turned out to be a massive brain bleed) when he went to sleep that night. They couldn't wake him up the next morning.

Now he's paralyzed on one side, has cognitive impairment, and can't swallow. Unlikely that he'll ever be able to work again.

Wow. I've heard lots of stories about brain injuries not showing up for hours or even days after the injury.
 
It's scary when you deal with the brain. Back in 1998 I had severe headaches for weeks and doctors kept putting me off saying it was nothing to worry about then later on a few weeks after my last doctor visit I keeled over having had a CVA .... I spent a lovely 10 days in hospital. On the xrays you can see the scar of that running down the middle of my right cerebellum.
 
Sometimes when I click for the next song on Amazon Music, everything comes to a full stop and a popup that says "Are you still listening? You've been away from the app for a while. Would you like to continue playing music?" appears. Who the hell do they think pressed the next button and why do they think it was pressed?!?!?!

Maybe they're checking to make sure that the cat wasn't the one who pushed the button.:lol:
 
Decided to look up local art galleries to see if there was anything I'd like and to support the artists from the region. First thing I saw, I was like, "$14,000 for that?!?!?!?" That reprint of a Mickey Mouse painting for $250 doesn't seem so expensive now.

Yeah I know right..... I have a friend that got $10,000 for a mural with paint splotches in random places. Go figure. I mean there was a a kind of shape to it if you looked carefully enough in the mural but it was just random bits of paint everywhere.
 
It was raining so I went to move a tarp that was on the ground. When I flipped it over, there was a slug underneath. So I left the tarp where it was to give the slug time to get away. It was gone when I returned, but I'm pretty sure it couldn't have moved that fast and that by being compassionate, I turned the slug into bird food.
