Happy birthday then!

Speaking of which, sort of, I've been getting photos and video of baby birds in a nest on my windowsill.  There's some posted in the Photography thread.  But today, I think I captured video of one them flying from the nest for the first time. I'm 95% sure there were 4 of them when I started shooting today, and now there's three.   Downloading the footage now, we'll see.  Either it was abducted by aliens, or it flew for the first time.   Either way, I got it on camera, I think. 

EDIT:  Doh!   Between the time I took some photos, and then grabbed the tripod to get video of the nest, Chick #1 flew the coop!  :(

I was out mowing yesterday, had my headphones in.

A song was just starting as I came back into the house.  I shut the door, and popped my headphones out while I removed my shoes.

I did not stop hearing the song.  It was pretty much seamless, it was like I didn't even take my headphones out.  The song just kept going.

It just so happens that my daughter was blasting the very same song from her radio in her room.  I popped one of the earbuds back in, and they were less than a second out of sync.

I don't think we could have done that if we'd tried.

Spooky!

One day here, the radio at work started playing a song I just finished listening to on my phone. Three times that happened in one day. I think they were spying on me....

When one of the chambers has finished curing tires, we bang on a steel support post to summon a crew to break down the load. It sounds like a gong. One time after that summons, the radio immediately started playing “Hell’s Bells” and half the shop burst out laughing 

Speaking of which, I hear that gong now. Break time is over

One time my radio freaked out and played two songs at the same time plus static. Pretty weird, but it actually sounded fairly interesting as well. It started with one song and then it was almost as if it transformed into another song.

I forgot to put on deodorant this morning so I bought some when I grabbed lunch. Unfortunately they didn't have the kind I usually buy so now I have to go into a client meeting smelling like some dude from Jersey Shore.

Could be worse.  I used to keep an emergency travel stick in my glove box, because I forgot that summer was a thing.  I'll let you guess what happened.

That's bit me so many times.  I'm not 100% sure I know what it is.  I think it's got something to do with tabbing outside the edit box.

Wanna say control-enter seems to do it on windows. 

Stabbed myself in the butt just a tiny bit yesterday with an exacto knife. Really dumb, it was sitting on the couch and I forgot about it before sitting down.
