Steve Miller/Grampies commented on a photo in 13: crossings, floridetour, seals, weight loss

Is there a link between "new favourite icecream" and "lack of weight loss" d'ya think?

I retired as a civilian 37 year career explosives safety guy and met a number of special ops guys. I agree with your comment about their character. Excellent folks!

The definition of “strictly enforced” means it usually isn’t…anywhere!

Is the bird “holding it” ? Appears sheepish to know what to do, or maybe wonders if “anyone is looking” ..😬

There seems to be a plethora of similar species. Hard to tell with just a photo.

We have in the past been directed to "our destination" in the middle of a corn field, on an elevated freeway and other such foolishness. Google occasionally tries to insist that the way through is through a locked gate or up a driveway and through someone's living room. AI and algorhythms can only be trusted up to a point.

I don't think so. I just tried googling it and the closest I could find is the Dasylirion wheeleri, but I don't think that's it either because I clearly remember the leaves being difficult to bend and extremely sharp, almost thorn-like. There were no thorns along the leaves; the leaves were thin and sturdy enough to be able to cut you.
