I'm a bird watcher...love to see the birds that come to our backyard...and feeders. Just read about the man in Florida who had some gorgeous peacocks and got into a tizzy, because his neighbor fed his birds...So, he killed two of his peacocks and had them for dinner. He wanted to teach his neighbor..how heartless he was??? He is now in jail, because of strict laws against animal cruelty in Florida.

The shoe in this article reminded me of the Roman Army Museum in England near Hadrian's Wall. The artifacts displayed include 100 or more recovered shoes of all sizes. Every shoe has an ancient human story to tell, which made the shoes fascinate me. Museum site linked below.

So interesting! Thankyou - director might be Peter Weir rather than Peter Weird! 😁

Captivating post. I love birds. The gold finches come out of hiding from the nearby reservation to feed on the cone flower seeds every fall. Here they are again. I looked it up but I was sure it was Russel Crowe in that clip. It’s my habit to confirm things. I might not make a good journalist but you can see I have leg up on the garbage they employ at the New York Times (any excuse to insult MSM … one cannot hate them enough)! Somehow don’t have time for movies … this looks like a good excuse to watch one! I watched Pete Hegseth’s presentation …. a pretty good flick! I shaved off my mustache right after. Even Anthony Hopkins has been exhorting us retirees to quit looking like slobs. I’m a little behind on “PT” but if I were in Ukraine they would send me straight to the front!

I see Tony Blair and Jared Kushner types among other preying master minds as human kin to Bearded Vultures. Only they make the vulnerable indigenous turn into easy prey of bones admidst the rubble as intended. No rest for the profiteering Wicked.

So humans aren't the only critters that collect antiques, very interesting! Master and Commander is a masterpiece, one I've enjoyed many times.

Weird Nature Thursdays sounds like a good idea, John Leake. I too enjoy all sorts of weird nature spectacles, some are mind boggling, some are hilarious, all are interesting. I note though, that National Geographic has lost all credibility with me long ago, as you mention their ideology, with me, unacceptable in the light. The Smithsonian is pretty much in the same category... with both organizations endorsing evolution rather than creation. Here are some wise words, from the Bible, applicable here:

" Proverbs 19:27... "Cease, my son, to hear the instruction that causeth to err from the words of knowledge".

The passage advises against listening to teachings or advice that will lead you away from true knowledge.

The truth is not a mixture made from lies and veracity. Mixing ideology with the truth is an adulterant, not a booster. I have jettisoned the National Geographic as a harmful publication, and do not endorse their work, because enough of it is incompatible with the truth to make it dangerous.
