We know we are low on munitions. The people who have acknowledged that have spent their careers serving this country in uniform, unlike this warmonger chickenhawk draft dodger who calls them cowards.

6 fledglings today. We chased several feral cats away. One cat came around the house the long way, seized a baby in the wet grass and mauled it. Think it was the first one out I haven't been so angry. And sad. The parents work so hard, a month per brood. This is the second brood this year.

At least 2 chicks in 100°F outside air temperature. Been watering down the area for some evaporation cooling. There are holes I drilled in the house for ventilation. Two years ago 4 expired in the heat. Last year, some fledged. This year, this is the second brood.

"Iran will never outlast us" - Pete Hegseth Vietnam will never outlast us. We gave up and went home. Why? Guerilla warfare. Guerilla warfare on the world stage underway CNN reported Iran said if US troops come onto their shores, expect another Vietnam.

Increase in temperature (1°C), the atmosphere can hold approximately 7% more moisture (water vapor). This principle, based on the Clausius-Clapeyron equation, means warmer air acts as a more efficient sponge, which can lead to more intense storms and heavier rainfall.  Gemini

Simply a bad idea launching east over the Gulf of Mexico with the heavy commercial air traffic between the states and everywhere Central and South America.

At least 3 Northern House Wrens fledged today. July 7, 2025 Started building nest May 27, 2025. Incredible amount of work from the parents. For another month the babies will be shown how to forage for food. Insects. Hide from predators.
