There's a puzzle. IR camera? Sorry, don't understand. How would I use an IR camera? My trailcam does have IR. |

If it's only one fox and bigger than cats, some form of weight-triggered feeding device?

I took a pic last night using my iPhone 11. It required a 3 second exposure because it was very dark here. But the software does an amazing job stabilizing the image despite by shaky hands.
Looks like it is not in my photostream so I’ll upload it from my phone in a bit.

Where I work one if the things we sell to customers as part of our computer systems is thermal imaging cameras. They show heat profiles at night.

It's snowing like crazy here today. They're saying we're going to 4-6 inches of it before it ends tomorrow. It's way to early in the season to be dealing with this.  |

It snows on November because someone is already decorating for Christmas. Find them. Beat them.

Snowing in the Heartland and forecast for single digits tonight. My desires say Florida and my budget says, buy a snow shovel!

Haven't seen a snow shovel in over 20 years - good riddance to them I say. That's when I moved to SW Florida.
84 today, 75 tomorrow and 82 on Thursday - nights down to the middle 60's. We'll possibly see some frost this winter maybe in late January or sometime in February.
I feel for you guys, but the route south is Interstate 75 from the west and Interstate 95 on the east. You can join the convoys of snowbirds easily. Come for a winter vacation but be warned, you may never leave...
Enjoy your change of colors in the fall and the wonders of your winter. I'll deal with the summer heat and occasional hurricane here.

My cousin and her husband just moved to Englewood from up here. When I sent her pictures she just sent me back one of the beach.  |

My cousin and her husband just moved to Englewood from up here. When I sent her pictures she just sent me back one of the beach. Englewood is split between two counties and has one of the best beaches in the country- and of course, Florida. You will find it in Conde Naste Traveler magazine. It is about 25 miles NW of my location, and of course, located on the Gulf of Mexico.
The winter deal here is, if you don't have access to a local public heated pool locally (there are lots of them in Charlotte Co.) then you jump into your own pool or spa/hot tub, drink in hand. Of course you take dated pictures/video and send them to your northern friends.
Also, you know it's SW Florida when you get a mosquito bite on Christmas day!
Make and throw a snowball for me...

Maybe when I'm 90, I'll appreciate Florida. Until then, I am staying away. Snow sucks, but, it beats hurricanes.

I wish I could be in Florida. Really missing golf. Our season here was cut quite short this year with 6” on the ground already.

As some of you may know, I am a member on another forum which discusses cryptic crosswords. A bit niche, I know, but we have hundreds of members, and tens of thousands of readers.
The experts take it in turns to critique the daily crosswords printed in my newspaper. These are normally put on the website at 11am. Today, Monday, the entry was late. The blogger started his piece with the following:
"Having a ‘couple of beers with Craig’ wasn’t the best start to Sunday. Having ‘a couple more’ back at The Green Man didn’t help. Ignoring Saint Sharon’s advice not to go out to The Duck on the Pond, and then The Buck and Bell was not my wisest choice. Coming home at two am and waking Saint Sharon to see if she was sleeping alright never goes down well. C’est la vie. You only live once."
Sleeping on the sofa tonight, methinks.

This is America at its worst.Not only does he murder their son and get away with it "because he was scared" he now sues them for more money than either of them have ever seen, because he can.

You know, it's pretty fucked that I didn't even have to click the link to know you were talking about that human sack of shit.
I don't have an opinion on rather or not the killing of Trayvon was justified or not. I didn't follow the case.
