Today’s Thoughts

A nice but cloudy day.

I had lunch with Andy today. He had a positive outcome from his medical visit. Good lunch and conversation. Faith will be back up here Friday afternoon. She volunteered to take Logan, the grandson, to school this week as Kayla, his mom, can’t take him this week.

Sec Mayorkas, Homeland, impeachment trial killed by Senate vote. The Dems said he was being impeached for policy differences that didn’t rise to High Crimes.

It’s hard to keep track of the Trump trial. Now the judge dismissed 2 jurors for cause and now it’s back to 5 jurors picked. Crazy.

If Marsupials Are Chased By A Predator, They Sacrifice The Joey

There are many cases of altruism in the animal world. Sometimes, animals sacrifice themselves for the betterment of the herd. And animal mothers can fiercely defend their babies. But when it comes to marsupials - the pouch-bearing natives of Australia - the opposite can be true.

If chased by a predator, marsupials like kangaroos, wallabies, and even the ever-smiling quokka may let the joey fall out of the pouch. The abandoned joey makes a fuss and unwittingly distracts the predator. The mother is alive to have another baby, while the poor joey becomes the predator's meal.
