I'm guessing those clouds were millions of mozzies? How come so many?

Not sure really, must be the warmish weather lately, and the amount of fresh water near?

Not nice unless you are a hungry bird.

Had a short conservationist with two 13 year olds a day or so ago.  I forget how it started, but I asked them if they knew about the Zika virus and the scientific plan to exterminate all mosquitoes, permanently.  They thought it was great.  I then pointed out birds, bats, etc that feed on them, and asked if they still thought it was a good idea to go messing with nature when everything is connected.  That gave them pause.   Briefly.  Until they got back to their phones and Pokemons.

Fixed that typo for ya ....

Actually, it wasn't much of a typo.The word is "Pokémon" (Japanese) and it has to do with the only way parents in the U.S. can get their children to go outslde anymore.  It's a cell phone (today really a pocket computer) based game called 'Pokémon Go', where these kids have to search out various Pokémon characters that are scattered throughout the real world.  Here's a (probably fictitious) example of someone finding one.

(So, how do I get that gif to show up correctly?)

 

Right, so apparently there are different ways of spelling Pokémon/Podemon.  Who'da thunk it?  Silly me.

I do 'know' what the pokemon stuff is... well, not in details... but... well, I know enough to try and have fun using my very own podemon spelling .. silly you!
