I survived the lunar eclipse/winter solstice thing ok. Been a few hundred years, depending on which article you read, since this has happened on the same day. Also heard that there might have been a visible meteor shower too. Pretty heavy cloud cover around here last night, so I missed it all . . .
While I'm talkin about visible natural things, this is the last visible sunset of autumn. Took it Sunday evening, I think. It had pretty well faded away by the time I could get me and my camera to a place that wasn't blocked by houses, etc. One almost has to be sitting in position with your camera ready to get those really great sunrise/sunset or cloud shots.
I was out wandering around yesterday mornin and I spotted a large flock of wild turkeys in a ravine next to Lick Creek. I think I counted 27. They can be hard to count when they are movin around. This is the largest gathering of wild turkeys I've seen.
I was gettin my teeth checked out a couple days ago. While they were takin x-rays, I started thinkin about the airport scanners. I'm sittin there with a lead filled blanket draped over me, the hygienist leaves the room . . . I'm havin a hard time believin those things are safe . . . The hygienist tended to agree with me. She said their machines are very low dose, The lead blanket has also protects thyroids, they have to be at least 6 ft from the machine and stand at right angles to the direction of the x-rays. Somethin just doesn't seem right . . . Don't think you'll see me in an airport anytime soon . . .
Ever think about what a hygienist does all day?? Diggin around in people's mouths doesn't seem like a lot of fun. Wonder if they've ever considered this job for that Dirtiest Jobs tv show????
While I'm thinkin about tv, the True TV channel was showin a snake charmer doin what they do . . . only the snake wanted no part of it. When they took the lid off the basket, the snake wasted no time leavin. They showed another guy pickin up the snake, puttin him back in the basket and tryin everything over again. Snake still wanted no part of it and promptly slithered away again. It struck me as pretty funny at the time.
