While I was waiting for the crakes to come out into the open, this very confiding Sharpie would continually come in very close while it foraged for insects along the water's edge.

They were navigating the cottonwood trees at top speed in pursuit of a plentiful supply of warblers stopping by on their migration.
Before the days of Google, this is how I would get my answers to show the Teacher how "sharp" I was. This was taken at Clearview School.

I am fairly certain that this one is a male Sharp-shinned Hawk. It was about the size of a Blue Jay.
A large female Sharp-shinned Hawk overlaps in size with a small male Cooper's Hawk, and a large female Coopers's Hawk overlaps with a small male Northern Goshawk.
A Cooper's Hawk would have thinner and darker breast streaks and a longer rounded tail.
Sharp-shinned Hawks capture their prey from cover or while flying quickly through dense vegetation. They have thick short wings and are adept at navigating dense thickets. The great majority of this hawk's prey is small birds, especially various songbirds such as sparrows, warblers and robins. They also catch lizards, small mammals and various insects.
Cooper's Hawks share the environment with the Sharp-shinned Hawks but can take larger prey as well including jays, woodpeckers, starlings, quail, and doves. The birds they prey on can range in size from warblers to Ring-necked Pheasants. They also eat mammals like chipmunks, hares, mice, squirrels, and bats.

Hội An is a city of Vietnam, on the coast of the South China Sea in the South Central Coast region of Vietnam. It is located in Quảng Nam Province and is home to approximately 120,000 inhabitants. It is recognized as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Hội An Ancient Town is an exceptionally well-preserved example of a South-East Asian trading port dating from the 15th to the 19th century. Its buildings and its street plan reflect the influences, both indigenous and foreign, that have combined to produce this unique heritage site.The city possessed the largest harbour in Southeast Asia in the 1st century and was known as Lâm Ấp Phố (Champa City). Between the seventh and 10th centuries, the Cham (people of Champa) controlled the strategic spice trade and with this came tremendous wealth. The former harbour town of the Cham at the estuary of the Thu Bồn River was an important Vietnamese trading centre in the 16th and 17th centuries, where Chinese from various provinces as well as Japanese, Dutch and Indians settled. During this period of the China trade, the town was called Hai Pho (Seaside Town) in Vietnamese. Originally, Hai Pho was a divided town with the Japanese settlement across the "Japanese Bridge" (16th-17th century). The bridge (Chùa cầu) is a unique covered structure built by the Japanese, the only known covered bridge with a Buddhist temple attached to one side.
ETYMOLOGY
Hội An translates as "peaceful meeting place". In English and other European languages, the town was known historically as Faifo. This word is derived from Vietnamese Hội An phố (the town of Hội An), which was shortened to "Hoi-pho", and then to "Faifo".
HISTORY
The early history of Hội An is that of the Cham. These Austronesian-speaking Malayo-Polynesian peoples created the Champa Empire which occupied much of what is now central and lower Vietnam, from Huế to beyond Nha Trang. Various linguistic connections between Cham and the related Jarai language and the Austronesian languages of Indonesia (particularly Acehnese), Malaya, Cambodia and Hainan has been documented. In the early years, Mỹ Sơn was the spiritual capital, Trà Kiệu was the political capital and Hội An was the commercial capital of the Champa Empire - later, by the 14th century, the Cham moved further down towards Nha Trang. The river system was the transportation for goods between the highlands, inland countries of Laos and Thailand and the low lands.In 1535 Portuguese explorer and sea captain António de Faria, coming from Đà Nẵng, tried to establish a major trading center at the port village of Faifo. Hội An was founded as a trading port by the Nguyễn Lord Nguyễn Hoàng sometime around 1595. The Nguyễn lords were far more interested in commercial activity than the Trịnh lords who ruled the north. As a result, Hội An flourished as a trading port and became the most important trade port on the South China Sea. Captain William Adams, the English sailor and confidant of Tokugawa Ieyasu, is known to have made at least one trading mission to Hội An (around 1619). The early Portuguese Jesuits also had one of their two residences at Hội An.
In the 18th century, Hội An was considered by Chinese and Japanese merchants to be the best destination for trading in all of Southeast Asia, even Asia. Japanese believed the heart of all of Asia (the dragon) lay beneath the earth of Hội An. The city also rose to prominence as a powerful and exclusive trade conduit between Europe, China, India, and Japan, especially for the ceramic industry. Shipwreck discoveries have shown that Vietnamese and Asian ceramics were transported from Hội An to as far as Sinai, Egypt.Hội An's importance waned sharply at the end of the 18th century because of the collapse of Nguyễn rule (thanks to the Tây Sơn Rebellion - which was opposed to foreign trade).
Then, with the triumph of Emperor Gia Long, he repaid the French for their aid by giving them exclusive trade rights to the nearby port town of Đà Nẵng. Đà Nẵng became the new center of trade (and later French influence) in central Vietnam while Hội An was a forgotten backwater. Local historians also say that Hội An lost its status as a desirable trade port due to silting up of the river mouth. The result was that Hội An remained almost untouched by the changes to Vietnam over the next 200 years.
Today, the town is a tourist attraction because of its history, traditional architecture and crafts such as textiles and ceramics. Many bars, hotels, and resorts have been constructed both in Hội An and the surrounding area. The port mouth and boats are still used for both fishing and tourism.
WEATHER
Calm mild weather is now limited to the season of May/June - end of August when the seas are calm and wind changes direction and comes from the South. The remainder of the year the weather is intermittent between rain & cold and hot & mild. Popular activities such as visiting offshore Cù lao Chàm islands are only guaranteed to be likely during the short season of end of May to end of August, which is the high season for domestic tourism.
HERITAGE AND TOURISM
In 1999, the old town was declared a World Heritage Site by UNESCO as a well-preserved example of a Southeast Asian trading port of the 15th to 19th centuries, with buildings that display a unique blend of local and foreign influences. According to the UNESCO Impact Report 2008 on Hội An, tourism has bought changes to the area which are not sustainable without mitigation. Due to the increased number of tourists visiting Hoi An a variety of activities are emerging which allow guests to get out of the old quarter and explore by motorbike, bicycle, Kayak or motorboat. The Thu Bon River is still essential to the region more than 500 years after António de Faria first navigated it and it remains an essential form of food production and transport. As such kayak and motorboat rides are becoming an increasingly popular tourist activity.
MUSEUM
The city has four museums highlighting the history of the region. These museums are managed by the Hoi An Center for Cultural Heritage Management and Preservation. Entrance to the museum is permitted with a Hoi An Entrance Ticket.
The Museum of History and Culture, at 13 Nguyen Hue St, was originally a pagoda, built in the 17th century by Minh Huong villagers to worship the Quan An, and is adjacent to the Quan Cong temple. It contains original relics from the Sa Huynh, Champa, Dai Viet and Dai Nam periods, tracing the history of Hoi An's inhabitants from its earliest settlers through to French colonial times.
The Hoi An Folklore Museum, at 33 Nguyen Thai Hoc St, was opened in 2005, and is the largest two-storey wooden building in the old town, at 57m long and 9m wide, with fronts at Nguyen Thai Hoc St and Bach Dang St. On the second floor, there are 490 artifacts, organised into four areas: plastic folk arts, performing folk arts, traditional occupations and artefacts related to the daily life of Hoi An residents.
The Museum of Trade Ceramics is located at 80 Tran Phu St, and was established in 1995, in a restored wooden building, originally built around 1858. The items originating from Persia, China, Thailand, India and other countries are proof of the importance of Hội An as a major trading port in South East Asia.
The Museum of Sa Huỳnh Culture, is located at 149 Tran Phu St. Established in 1994, this museum displays a collection of over 200 artifacts from the Sa Huỳnh culture - considered to be the original settlers on the Hội An site - dating to over 2000 years ago. This museum is considered to be the most unique collection of Sa Huỳnh artefacts in Vietnam.

I had my appointment with a physical therapist this morning to find out what I need to work on during pool therapy. My knee that I’ve complained about on here, on Twitter, and when talking to my family is actually unstable & inflamed. Where I can stand for 13 seconds on my right leg without touching my foot to the ground or falling, I can only make it 4 on my left. She measured both knees–the left was swollen. While doing some of the tests, she found a hot, swollen spot behind my knee. She recommended a “stim” treatment1 to ease the pain from the exam. It worked really well & the pain almost completely cleared up for about twenty minutes. The physical therapist also suggested I use the modality room after pool therapy if I ever felt like I was in more pain afterward.
The PT also told me that I was walking “carefully”2 and that I was locking my knees in a hyperextended position as I walked. She said that I probably did that, in part, to prevent injuries to my knees, but it is actually damaging them. The position puts all the pressure on my joints and doesn’t rely on the muscles. It ends up weakening the joint and leads to more injuries. She told me how to fix that on my own. The exercise for that isn’t unfamiliar to me, nor is the hyperextension issue. It was one of my early hypermobile to issues. I had to walk doing plies part of the time to retrain my legs to bend properly.
To anyone who suggested I was a hypochondriac over this or other issues:3
That’s really all that can be said to absolute assholes. If you aren’t experiencing it and you aren’t examining or treating me, then you cannot say, at all, to me that you know that I’m malingering or having health-related anxiety issues. If you don’t know what’s going on or not going on, you aren’t in any position to judge me.
It’s electrical stimulation with a non-portable TENS machine. She put a small piece of fabric around my knee and the electrodes, then a brace-like thing around that. The brace filled with cold water, so that eased some inflammation while the stimulation went on. ↩
She said it wasn’t a limp, but that I walked like I was going to fall. ↩

This is a hefty radio. Larger than most coat pocket sets but smaller than a "lunch box" portable. It has AM and SW bands. The entire upper slide rule dial is reverse painted which is separated from the anodized aluminum speaker grill by a thin brass band.
Although my photos don't show it well, the speaker grille is navy blue.
It is a nice compliment to the grey cabinet (sometime appears to have lavender shades in certain light) and white dial.
I have also spotted this radio in two other colour options - forest green cabinet with non anodized/non painted speaker grille and white cabinet with black reverse painted dial with non anodized grille.
I found this at a flea market sitting in a pile of junk and dirt.. It took many hours to clean.
Also found under the Coronado brand name with the rather long model number RA50-9907 and as a Truetone DC-3050.

Dolofonía is one of the pair of Siren twins, two enchanting creatures that lure sailors to their deaths. She is predator: cunning, murderous. She lingers in waiting in the dark waters below the sharp rocks.
Dolofonía features the Inamorata 2.0 body with Busty chest plate, Milk skin tone and Charo sculpt. Her fierce eyes hold a steely face of steel and ice, her lashes exaggerated, her eye shadow a smoky eye in shades of deep peacock green, her lips nude and revealing a glint of fangs. Her body blushing attempts hyper realism with combined shades of celadon, mauve and paint powder pink; traced all over with moles and lavender veins visible through her translucent skin. Full body strobing effect gives er and other worldly glow. Her calligraphic tattoo says: "Heaven has no rage like a love to hatred turned. Nor hell a fury like a woman scorned."
The mohair hard cap wig is also by emiliacouture. I am learning this new skill and at the same time gaining more in awe of wig artists such as Anthony, Ilaria or Patta.
My final visit to Wembley for 2023 was August 12th and the occasion of not 1 but 3 Rugby League finals, with all 6 featured teams travelling the 200 or so miles down the M1. The Women's Challenge Cup final (St Helens vs Leeds Rhinos), Men's Challenge Cup final (Leigh Leopards vs Hull KR), and the 1895 Cup Final (Batley Bulldogs vs Halifax Panthers) ensured a cracking turn out of around 250 coaches with all but 2 of them parking in the Pink coach park.
Danger is fairly subjective, for some not washing lettuce properly is dangerous where others will consider free climbing perfectly fine (I'm sure it can be but not for me!)
I see dangers all over the place as my two little people (1 and 2 years old) definitely don't; I consider myself charged with spotting them on their behalf. This week will possibly be a diary of an anxious parent and I'm starting with knives left in reach on kitchen counters, its amazing how high their little hands will reach in search of danger!!

Ralph Waldo Emerson. The happiest man is he who learns from nature the lesson of worship.
Lucius Annaeus Seneca: On entering a temple we assume all signs of reverence. How much more reverent then should we be before the heavenly bodies, the stars, the very nature of God!
John Muir: All the wild world is beautiful, and it matters but little where we go, to highlands or lowlands, woods or plains, on the sea or land or down among the crystals of waves or high in a balloon in the sky; through all the climates, hot or cold, storms and calms, everywhere and always we are in God's eternal beauty and love. So universally true is this, the spot where we chance to be always seems the best.
