When you are the science writer and you have to spend your first cup of Sunday morning coffee writing about a earthquake that was little more than "did you feel that?" ☕

Excuse me tectonic plates, I'm looking at two Calaveras Fault, it is Saturday night and I am watching Netflix. Why are you interrupting me with your 3.68? If you're going to interrupt me at least make it something worthwhile. Also, don't.

Look who is bright, alert and responsive. I don't think he was too impressed with the tofu I gave him but I don't have meat so the only animal protein I have is dairy and birds cannot digest dairy.

Our guy was back on the ground this morning and looking good. I put him in the tree. Unfortunately, there was another down and he was laying on his side with ants on him. He is smaller and perhaps does not have what it takes. I picked him up brought him in and cleaned him. He is wrapped burrito 1/2

Since it's still #Thursjay. I found this guy on the ground under the orange tree where I knew they are nesting. I put them back in the tree but he's going to just get back on the ground because that's what they do. Unfortunately the neighbor allows her five cats to roam. Hoping for the best.
