Today’s
Reflection:
And now a windy day. It’s been a while. Not enjoyable. Just staying
inside today.
During my hospital stay my CPAP supplies got lost. Last week I
ordered new supplies. I’ve been calling and hearing that their supplier is out
of facemask cushions. I usually change the mask every month, but I’ve used this
one since May. It gets hard to get a tight fit. I got fed up with their excuses
and went in a picked up a cannula that I can attach to my Oxygen concentrator.
It kind of worked last night, as it is a tad short. I taped it to the
concentrator and that should be better tonight. Hoping the supplies arrive
soon.
Faith and Andy have a nephew visiting this week and tomorrow,
Logan, the grandson, will join the nephew to clean up around their property. As
Faith said, the young guys enjoy the work. Good for them. I get why they can’t
do lunch.
Richard and Laura are back in the states for a few days. They are
currently in the air from Houston. It will be a busy week for them.
Historical events
Cool to know:
The lyrebird can mimic
almost any sounds it hears — including chainsaws.
Wildlife watchers have
recorded the Australian species copying not only other birds but other animals,
like koalas, and artificial sounds such as car alarms and
camera shutters.
Colorado Wildlife:
Bison, America's
national mammal and the largest Colorado mammal, are now dually classified as
either livestock or wildlife, per SB25-053. Under this law,
privately owned bison herds in Colorado will remain "livestock," but
bison that naturally travel into the state are considered "wildlife,"
specifically a big-game species. Once a species is considered wildlife by law,
the Parks and Wildlife Commission can establish the regulations on hunting it.
While the last of Colorado's historic native bison were killed in South Park in
1897, wild bison travel in and out of Colorado from neighboring states.
