I am rooting for the eagle: Since the dawn of drones, a quiet war has been raging, and drones are losing. A Michigan bald eagle didn't take kindly to the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE, appropriately) operating a drone in its territory last month. According to a Thursday statement from EGLE, drone pilot Hunter King, an environmental quality analyst, was flying the $950 Phantom 4 Pro Advanced drone to investigate shoreline erosion along Lake Michigan on July 21. He had called the drone back after a short flight when the eagle "launched an airborne attack." King witnessed the aftermath when he saw the eagle flying away and the drone missing. "It was like a really bad roller coaster ride," King said of what he saw on the drone-tracking video screen. A pair of birdwatchers nearby confirmed the eagle's drone kill. Despite extensive searches, the drone was not recovered. Flight data showed it took a nosedive 150 feet offshore into the chilly waters of Lake Michigan. "Its speed instantly dropped from 22 mph to 10. Within a half-second the flight record shows the beginning of downward spiral along with 'excessive spinning' warnings," EGLE said in recounting the drone's final moments. The drone also warned that one of its propellers had been torn off. EGLE is left to speculate about what might have triggered the attack, which may have been territorial or may have been a mistake if the eagle thought the drone might be edible. "EGLE's drone team is considering steps to reduce the possibility of a repeat attack, including possibly using "skins" or other designs on the aircraft to make them look less like seagulls," the organization reported. This isn't the only drone to have fallen foul of the talons of an eagle. Wedge-tailed eagles in Australia took down a series of unmanned aerial vehicles operated by a mining company. Police in the Netherlands were looking into using eagles to snatch unwelcome drones out of the air. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources weighed in on whether the eagle could be cited for its act of vandalism. "Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do," a spokesperson told EGLE. "Nature is a cruel and unforgiving mistress." Eagle 1 Environmentalist 0 Drone = 0 Eagle = 1 |

Y’all should come visit me in South Carolina Not that I’m complaining as I enjoy the heat/humidity. I’m not so sure Marbs is enjoying the Summer weather all that much though! |

Dude, this beats Phoenix! I have run on all my usual days with the exception of cutting 2 runs short (4/5 miles). Cut to Phoenix, I'd be on a treadmill from minimum June 1st-September 15th with maybe 2 opportunistic outdoor runs in between. The humidity is a bit strong but there's still variation and decent mornings/evenings. I'll allow it. |

Yeah, probably hard to judge with all the craziness. But hey, at least Ohio’s not turning off your power in the middle of Summer |

The furniture industry is fucked throughout the country: the furniture factories were deemed 'non-essential' in many places, and the import from China was in trouble as well. Some shops have delivery available in November and later. I guess time to move all the furniture production to the Dakotas.

Speaking of Furniture we ordered from Laz-y-Boy a sofa, a love seat and chair that have battery packs to them as they all recline. This was back in May and we were told sometime in September for delivery so we'll see if it gets pushed back or not! |
