Crumbly Acres

 Every time we put on the news we are hopeful for good news. So far, not so good. In our old age we find it difficult getting used to new norms, new societal values, the increase in previously socially unacceptable language in the media, you know how it is. Then there is technology. 

I heard a story about a teacher who had to argue with her student. He'd submitted an essay, full of errors, conspiracy theories, and mistakes. She talked to the kid, and asked him where he sourced his information. He showed her how he'd used AI to write it for him. It combined information from biased sources, and had incongruities. AI doesn't check sources!

Our critters keep me distracted. I'd put the Wingscapes camera on the side walk. We lost a bunny on the highway last month. I was hopeful. 

 

These are the critters that visited the peanuts I put on the sidewalk. It's been so cold. I think the critter in the thumbnail is the bunny, also visiting: junco, deermouse, red squirrel, tree sparrow.

It snowed Sunday night. I went to the Crumbly Acres camera. I could see unbroken snow cover on the sidewalk in the first image. In the next, bunny tracks! The cotton tail was too fast for the camera. I think. I'll have to check the settings. Again. 

I was sitting in my easy chair, and spotted Cinnamon in the bathroom window. He was intense. He was nearly getting whiplash!

I grabbed the video camera and found Labbit! Happy dance!

Meantime, we had snow yesterday. It was around 0℃, and 7cm of snow is sticking to everything. I'll have some shovelling work to do, once I have my morning coffee! This was last night at dinner time.
