The sun in Florida just hits different. It could be 95 in Temecula and I could be in the sun for 15-20 minutes, no problem. If it's above 90 here after a few minutes my skin already feels like it's burning.

12%

"The increase in the average annual cost of full-coverage car insurance, up to $2,278, following a 7% hike a year before, according to Bankrate. Drivers are using different strategies to cut costs such as switching to pay-as-you-go policies and increasing their deductibles to lower their regular payments."

There are approximately 200 species of squirrels worldwide, broken down into three categories.

Tree Squirrels: These are the most commonly recognized squirrels and include species such as the Eastern gray squirrel, red squirrel, and fox squirrel. They typically live in trees and are found in a variety of habitats, from forests to urban areas.

Ground Squirrels: These squirrels are known for living in burrows and include species like the California ground squirrel and the thirteen-lined ground squirrel. They are often found in grasslands and arid regions.

Flying Squirrels: Despite their name, flying squirrels do not actually fly but glide between trees using a membrane of skin called the patagium. Notable species include the Northern flying squirrel and the Southern flying squirrel.

If it takes 5 seconds to change each password it would take 1, 585 years to change all 10 Billion passwords. Whether done consecutively or simultaneously the manpower input does not change. Think of the monumental waste.

Was watching the chaotic frying non-pattern of a butterfly yesterday.
Made me think of the saying Butterfies in my Stomach.

Upon further pondering, I wondered.

Do buttterfies (who have stomachs) have Butterfly Stomachs all the time?

Then I found out, Butterflies do not have stomachs in the same way that mammals do, but they have a specialized digestive system.

There is some useless knowledge for you.

Fried chicken is certainly not a meal you want to have daily. I would hazard a guess that 98.2% of all fast food "nutrition" facts look similar.

None of it is good FOR you, but some of it sure tastes good.

For years I would always take off the skin (and excess batter) from all my fried chicken pieces. Family and friends always thought it was a waste and would sometimes take my discarded skin and eat it themselves. I still do it but will, on rare occasion, take a bit or two. Moderation is the key to almost everything. Well, that and medication. Laugh

I shudder to think how much chubbier or what my cholesterol level would be iffin’ I devoured everything except for the bones. Gonz

I understand we aren’t talking a Vegan diet. However (comma) 14 grams of saturated fat- 70% of daily value. What other fast food has 14 grams of SatFat.

And that is just the sandwich.

A pop song was in the #1 for two decades.

Escape (Pina Colada Song) was the tune.

It was #1 for the last two weeks of 1979. Fell out of the #1 spot, replaced with a KC & The Sunshine Band song for a week, before regaining the top spot the second week of 1980.

I don’t like getting caught in the rain.

Sausage Trees

Kigelia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Bignoniaceae. The genus consists of only one species, Kigelia africana, which occurs throughout tropical Africa. The so-called sausage tree grows a poisonous fruit that is up to 60 cm (2 feet) long, weighs about 7 kg (15 pounds), and resembles a sausage in a casing.

The genus name comes from the Mozambican Bantu name, kigeli-keia, while the common names sausage tree and cucumber tree[1] refer to the long, sausage-like fruit. Its name in Afrikaans, worsboom, also means sausage tree, and its Arabic name means "the father of kit-bags".[2]

From their profile, the African elephant's ears are shaped like the african continent.

Asian elepants ears seem to encase a map of India.
