I still can't quire figure out how birds can do that. The coordination seems much faster than reaction time. Maybe they all have cloned brains and so do the same thing at the same time.

Good question. Perhaps the entire flock has three or four leaders and the rest of the birds follow one of those three or four leaders.

Their perception of time is akin to how we view elephants as being "slow". Ever tried to kill a housefly by swatting it with your hand? Even dogs and cats have reaction times that are far better than ours.

Describes my wife to a T. She regards a simple question or a story as an opportunity for extended orbital capture, and you get thirty tangents before the punch line.

California could have done a good thing with a straight shot between downtown SF and downtown LA, but no. They let it descend into the usual bloat and grifting.

The Feminists Strikes Again!
(If only I was 30 years younger)
This time: Report on Hoeflation with male feminist expert Ben Dover.
Note: Mr Ben Dover's dad, Ben Dover, Sr. was in the 1985 film 'Fletch'.

What I really enjoyed was all of the usual 'environmental impact' studies from the usual suspects that consumed the budget into overruns before any building ever started to break ground. That's a special California graft experience.

Very creative!
Lately I like old books, not only written long ago, but physically old. They have more character and they pre-date the possibility of woke edits.
