It's National Fire Prevention Week! Ebikes, escooters, and hoverboards use lithium-ion batteries that need a little bit more care than how you treat your other batteries. Learn something and avoid a battery fire at home.

Spooky bird stories. My Halloween comic from 2024.
A comic titled Spooky Bird Stories. In panel 1, a turkey vulture is telling stories to other vultures, and it says, "She walked toward the source of the terrible smell. She got closer and closer, and then, to her horror, she saw... No dead body." A black vulture says "No!" and a turkey vulture says "Did someone already eat it??" In panel 2, a northern cardinal is telling a story to some songbirds. It says "They peered through the windows of the house at the gory scene. Zombies had smashed through the door in the night. The homeowner was dead. But worst of all... He hadn't refilled the feeders." An eastern bluebird says "Aaah!" and an American goldfinch says "It can't be!". In panel 3, A screech owl is telling a story to other owls. It says "And then the ghost fluffed itself up really big to appear scarier." A saw-whet owl gasps, and a long-eared owl says "Horrifying!". In panel 4, a downy woodpecker is telling a story to other woodpeckers, and says "The eerie sound rang through the dark woods. Tap-tap. Tap-tap. It was the distinctive two-part knock of the Ivory-billed Woodpecker. The species had returned from the dead... FOR REVENGE." A red-cockaded woodpecker says "Yesss".

First time I've captured this, since usually im capturing a single eye at a time: one nictitating membrane open, one closed. 🪶
A juvenile red tailed hawk sitting in a field, eye normal looking on the right, on the left the nictitating membrane is closed. the bird is fine, this is just a protective eyelid thats translucent.

So much emotion. So sad. So *checks notes* not involved in Dave's business and that should be illegal. I love when dogs moo, but it has to be tiring when "dogs mooing" is the standard and not the rare treat like when Max does it.

A 17-month-old girl was hospitalized with E. coli after consuming raw milk. Soon, another child — a 6-year-old girl who’d drunk milk from the same farm — would wind up in the same San Diego hospital, with the same potentially fatal illness.
