When we watch the news or read the paper most of what we get is political or Covid 19 related. But there are other things going on in the world. And here are some examples:
America's Rapid Feral Hog Problem Is Creating a 'Super-Pig' Uprising
"The combination of wild boars and the robust fertility of agricultural pigs adds up to 9 million feral pigs and counting". Evidently some pigs on farms are escaping and running amuck and partying with the boars to create these "Super Pigs". They are running in packs and sometimes attacking people and destroying property.
Caterpillar with ‘venomous spines’ reported in several eastern Virginia counties
I saw a picture of this and it looks like a really hairy caterpillar. But those hairs can be deadly. Don't touch if you see one!
Murder hornet captured alive in U.S. for first time
We've heard about these hornets earlier in the year. But now they have a live one to study! Again, if you see one, stay away from it!
Killer Algae Forms on the Water
Recently there were headlines here about this nasty algae on the water that is killing sea life. Some of this algae even glows in the dark and looks spooky.
And then on a more personal note, Sunday afternoon Les and I discovered a raccoon lying in our backyard. Sadly, there are frequent reports of rabies cases in this area, so we know enough to not mess around with the wildlife. I made a phone call and a Park Ranger came and checked it and said it was dead and took it away. It did not look like it had been attacked by anything, so we have no idea what happened. Sad.
It's a beautiful day here, Les is playing golf. I am doing things around the house.
I am dealing with pain, sometimes severe pain, in my right hand and arm. I'm waiting on a call from the doctor about some testing he wants done before I can get any help. This sucks, to be blunt.
Take care and stay safe! Life is good even when we have worries. God Bless America!
