The ceramic paint used on the lighthouse was also applied to the Point Lookout Bell Tower, sited near the lighthouse at CBMM. Funded through private donations, computer-operated controls for the Bell Tower have also been added to facilitate the ringing of ship’s bell time. Traditionally, a ship’s bell time designates the beginning and end of each four-hour watch on board a ship. The bell rings a distinctive pattern to alert sailors of the time and how many hours are left on their shift. The Point Lookout Tower’s bells now ring on the half hour from 8:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., with a pattern of rings repeating every four hours. In celebration of its 50th anniversary, the Chesapeake Bay Maritime Museum has recently made major improvements to several of its historic buildings and other structures along its 18-acre Miles River waterfront, all funded through philanthropic support

Darren's rescue cat Izzy was an intrepid explorer but had one nemesis. When Darren was out of town doing physics research I would take care of Izzy and walk him out in the courtyard. At the slightest sound of an approaching baby carriage his ears would perk up and he would watch the street nervously in preparation to flee and hide. I'm not sure if he was afraid of the squeaky wheels or the squeaky baby but if the carriage rolled into the courtyard he would be frantic to find a hiding place. Sadly, I got news that Izzy passed away today.
The cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus) is a large-sized feline (family Felidae, subfamily Felinae) inhabiting most of Africa and parts of the Middle East. It is the only extant member of the genus Acinonyx. The cheetah can run faster than any other land animal— as fast as 112 to 120 km/h in short bursts covering distances up to 500 m, and has the ability to accelerate from 0 to over 100 km/h in three seconds.
This cat is also notable for modifications in the species' paws. It is one of the few felids with semi-retractable claws.
The cats are entertaining us at Catmosphere Cat Cafe, Chiang Mai. Bengal cat watching a feline co-worker who has jumped to a high shelf above me.
