Fact: The words "chasing cards" only appears once in the song Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol

Woke up for ornithology zoom lunch.  Everyone wanted to see my hair but since its already gone I said i'd do it again for sure.  Nate also shaved his as a mohawk so things are getting crazy.  Otherwise spent the day working on my 408 exam and responding to student emails.  No walk today because its raining, but i did sneak in some jump rope.  muliple 20+ in a row.  We did trivia again but this time we came in last.  I did however get the Snow Patrol question right, and got to correct the quiz makers again since chicken isnt an accepted bird common name.  Annoyingly they still accepted chicken.

Fact: The earliest known bats are from around 50 MYA and based on the fossils they couldn't echolocate.  Those early fossils look pretty much like bats, although a lot of them have more claws than modern bats

Pretty low key day.  Spent much of it working on the hit list for the Social Distancing Flycatchers.  It reminds me i need to start making the country ebird lists also for so i can know what i need to target where easier.  Otherwise just went for a walk and hung around the house.  the yankeees game was postponed again but none of the other options really called to us so no baseball today.

Fact: Donald Knuth developed TeX, a digital typography program because he didn't like how the galleyproofs of his book "The Art of Computer Programming" looked, and printing it in a way that looked good was too expensive.

Spent most of the day getting the transcription done and final lecture recorded.  I did wake up early for the discussion group, but Emily was the only other person logged in and then we discovered it was actually an hour later so i went back to sleep. My hair was nice and blue today though so that was exciting.  We went for a walk, there was a family of 6 also out so we had to wait from them to come down the street before we could go up it.  the kids were bouncing a bascketball,  I said if that had been us by that point father would be carrying the basketball and we woud have shot eddie off in a random direction playing tommypong.  Yankees game was rained out so we listened to Astros/Tigers instead (it was in detroit so no trashcan banging).

Fact: The Tenement Museum in NYC also salvaged the artifacts that were present when they took over the building in 1988.  The building had been a tenement between 1863 until 1935 when the owners boarded it up to save on maintenance and just kept the ground level stores open.  It incldues everything from rat skeletions to partially eaten bagels, to wedding invitations.

Woke up and had fruit creepes.  We really should have those more often.  Then mother dyed my hair with the blue dye we got.  When the light catches it you can really see the blue.  We delayed churching until 5 since Maria and Kevin were hiking.  Otherwise we just listened to the yankees game and watched Harry Potter 4.
