World Nature Photography Awards

 The 2020 winners shown here.

I mean, I take a pretty decent snapshot and all, but these real photographers are so far above that my head won't tilt back far enough for me to look that high.  Go have a look.

Yet Another Gravel Ride in Tate's Hell

 Inviting bayfront trailhead...

Interesting campsite for future adventures..

And the dwarf cypress trees are leafing out for spring...

No, it's not mountain biking.  But then, there aren't many mountains in Florida.  As always, click to embiggen.

Dear Verizon...

 Customer service does not consist of "Download our app and fix our admin error yourself."  Which – sparing you the details – is a compact version of two hours of my Saturday afternoon, involving calls, web site twiddling, app downloading, and finally (I think) success.

Even though I have only just signed on with them, I will be kicking Verizon to the curb ASAP.

Zombieland: Double Tap

 Even better than the first one.  3+ stars out of 4.

That is all for this evening.

New QSL Cards are In

 

Turned out pretty good.  Hat tip to The Darling Daughter for both the photo and subsequent artwork.

ps: I frequently monitor 146.52 and 446.  If you happen to be in the area, give a shout.

Can we stop hurricanes?

 Can we stop them with nukes, or perhaps other ways?  10 minute video at Backreaction.

TL,DW: No, not really, at least not yet.  The trick may be to better forecast which thunderstorms are likely to turn into hurricanes, then disrupt those.  But really, it's time to stop snickering at people who ask "well, what can we do?"

I prefer to look on the upside.  Without hurricanes, tacky housing developments would take over all the good fishing spots and beautiful beaches.  Harsh medicine, but probably the best that we can hope for.

An Intro to the Bailey Bridge

 Six minutes.  WTWT.
