Today’s
Reflection:
Yet another nice summer day. No complaints.
While my brother is visiting New Orleans, he has picked up a bug.
He is missing out of some of the events but is getting better.
I am enjoying the PBS series Resolve to Solve. This week it
was the work going into re-wilding parts of Argentina and also measuring
glacial decay in Antarctica.
Our local NPR radio station, KNAU, has a new catchphrase for its
fundraising. “The government told us to go fund ourself…so we did.”
Historical events
Cool to know:
Pumpkins, squash and
gourds are all technically the same species.
That's right, your
zucchini and Jack o' lanterns are one and the same: Cucurbita pepo, a species that originated in Mexico
more than 10,000 years ago. Farmers have since developed the many cultivars we
know and use today.
Colorado Wildlife:
Jackrabbits are,
properly speaking, not rabbits but hares, like the snowshoe hare. Hares have
longer feet than rabbits and usually have longer ears. Most hares live in open
country, whereas cottontails live in brushy habitats. Perhaps the most
important distinction between them is that cottontails are born blind, nearly
naked and helpless. Hares, by contrast, are born fully furred and ready to hop.
The black-tailed jackrabbit is also known as the American desert hare.
