Okay, who has realized that the last day of the year will be on 123123?

Definitely not a funny, but it is Canada Day weekend, and July 4th. Some idiots set of fireworks in a small apt bldg parking lot. Ashes and debris everywhere. One unlucky car even got scorched.

Annie, good one.

The woman that took this picture grew up across the street from me - I've known her since she was born. She became a naturalist with the local park system and just retired after working there for 31 yrs. She still is very involved with nature, One of her many projects every summer is to raise moths from eggs. She just told me that she has sold over $5000 worth of moth eggs over the internet this past year. The rest of the moths she cares for are raised to lay eggs the following year. She raises Io moths, Lunas, Hickory Horned Devils. Sphinx, Prometheus - these are Cecropia caterpillars ready to make cocoons for the winter. She really loves her critters.
