Went to Center for River Studies "First Free Sunday" event. Here's their 10,800 sqft 3D scale model of the Mississippi River delta made from BILLIONS of data points. An array of high-res projectors brings this working model to life. #OurCoast

Today's #AnAnimalADay is the Abyssinian Ground Hornbill! Making their home on the savannah of Africa, these birds are about the size of a wild turkey. They may have ground in the name, but it's not bc they can't fly. They prefer to run when threatened, but will fly if necessary.

Today's #AnAnimalADay is one of the strangest sea creatures you'll ever see--if you can see it: The Glass Octopus! Easy to see where the name comes from, as this cephalopod is practically transparent. It's rarely seen, making its home in the darkest waters of the Pacific Ocean.

Clock time is basically made-up numbers. If we'd leave those numbers alone everyone could change their "hours of operation" if they wish. But finally we'd be rid of Biannual Government-Ordered Jet Lag (BIGOJEL). #daylightsavingtime

Permanent standard time is time-tested and makes more sense, but I'll take anything that stops us changing clocks twice a year. #daylightsavingtime

Today's #AnAnimalADay looks like it has just thrown on its jersey for the big game: The 89'98 Butterfly! Not hard to see where this name comes from. Found mostly in Colombia, several different subspecies exist with variations in pattern, but all looking like an 88, 89, or 98.

We might as well look into permanently living on a cruise ship. We've not been back 3 weeks and my wife has already booked 2 more cruises. I must admit that I offered no protestations to her plans.

I'm glad they get to finish their 5-year mission. Good old NCC-1701 wasn't so lucky, but look what it's spawned! #StarTrek

So now, my total weight loss is 75 pounds. If I go by the BMI (which is far from perfect, or even close), I am 22 pounds away from dropping to a "normal weight" category.

Diet confession time.
I just got back from a 1 week cruise a few weeks ago & for 2 weeks leading up to it I decided to eat like a maniac. In those 3 weeks I gained 16 lbs! In the 3 weeks since we've been back I've lost those 16 & 2 lbs more! Apparently, metabolic confusion works

Today's #AnAnimalADay is the Osprey! This hawk species is a total pescatarian, and it's unique among North American raptors because it prefers live fish and dive bombing the water to get them. They're found throughout N.America, and special barbed feet pads help them grip fish.

It's the first day of #March, so we've got to have something green for #AnAnimalADay. Like the Green Tree Python! This beautiful snake makes its home in the South Pacific and Australia. That eye-catching coloration actually isn't so eye-catching in its preferred home in the trees

I'm a little behind on #QuantumLeap, just up to ep 11, but seeing playing a guy named Woolsey was a nice nod to #Stargate. The ep, "Leap. Die. Repeat", was also a neat take on time loops.

I was today years old when I realized that rainbows are circular but we only see half the arc from the ground. This photo was taken by pilot Lloyd J Ferraro from the cockpit of a commercial airplane at 30,000 feet. I guess this means there's no pot of gold anywhere, eh?

Thanks for the update ! Even if the seeds get approved later in the season, down here in Louisiana we have a long growing season so I might still be able to get some purple beauties this year. #FingersCrossed
