Here's a website from Cornell  University I just learned about and I want to share it with you. Here's the link: Birds Here's their blog link: Round Robin I especially like the videos and birdsong recordings. A few videos: ROBIN BLUE JAY CARDINAL

The first video is from a post on the AGENCY ON RETURN OF LOST ILLUSIONS.  http://igin57.blogspot.com/ I found the next video:

I don't drink alcohol because according to my doctor it may induce a seizure. Several years ago I had a major seizure while I was asleep. I was rushed to the hospital and started on medication.  After several minor blanking out episodes my medications were adjusted.  Now I'm OK. Sometimes I wonder if I should try a small drink.  Now I drink alcohol-free beer. I like O'Doul's with the green label. I've had one small glass of sangria without any problem. I saw a documentary on Netflix about the history of absinthe.  I didn't know the drink was banned until about 2008! "A potent green aniseed-flavored liqueur  that turns milky when water is added.  Prepared from wormwood,  it is now largely banned because of its toxicity." It's a very strange drink. I'm sure the combination of herbs has something to do with its effects. It can't just be the alcohol! Watch the Netflix film.  It's very good. Here is a sho...

My wife Lynette likes to listen to the "oldies" while she takes a shower.  I was in the bedroom when this song came on. After all of these years it still makes me smile. It has a very catchy tune with simple lyrics. I found this video on YouTube. I love the innocent looking girl. It was nice of  Tommy Roe to sing the song to her. SWEET PEA  Tommy Roe  I went to a dance just the other night  I met a girl there she was out of sight  I asked a friend of mine who she could be  he said that her friends just call her Sweet Pea  (chorus)  Oh Sweet Pea  come on and dance with me  come on come on come on and dance with me  Oh Sweet Pea  come on and be my girl  come on come on come on and be my girl  I walked on over and asked her to dance  thinkin' maybe later of makin' romance  but every guy there was thinkin'; like me  I had to stand in line to...

Here's a video I found on a very funny Blog. My wife and I were laughing out loud. The blog link: MULLED MADNESS

Another example of the blurring of reality is ESP.  Believers in ESP claim to have the ability to obtain information without using the physical senses. Although this ability has never been proven by science; most people have experienced hunches, gut feelings, premonitions, intuition or other unexplainable ways of “just knowing” something. Again, this only adds to the uncertainty of reality.   Besides these false impressions our senses disregard much of “reality”.  Dogs can hear ultrasound.  This is how 'silent' dog whistles work. Dogs have a nose approximately a hundred thousand to a million times more sensitive than a human's.   Some bats use ultrasound for echo location while in flight. Dolphins have their own sonar based sense. Bees are sensitive to the polarization of light. Back to optical illusions: There is no actual movement in the above design. This illusion was developed by Professor Akiyoshi Kitaoka at the Departm...
