No shock, and they did give me a blood thinner after the first night. If I had known what I know now, I might have tried to advocate for myself more, but unfortunately that doesn't always help.

It's weird, I had a-fib recently and the hospital didn't let me see a cardiologist. I asked several times in the 3 days I was there, and the answer was always no. Until they discharged me, and then it was "you should see a cardiologist ASAP."

slings another owl curse word I’ve never heard before at me under his breath!

That's amazing, both the way you put it and the fact that it happens :)

Huh, interesting. So many different ways of perceiving the world.

I was just reading about bridges so animals can move around the territories that got carved up by roads. The fish doorbell is fun too. It's nice to see things going more in that direction.

Yeah, for sure. Or something from Futurama.

Oh, that's great, thanks! Those feet look really strong.

Just from listening to the crows around here, I have to wonder if animals have more sthan we sometimes give them credit for. I used to think they just cawed, but they have a lot of nuanced sounds. Seems like more than a couple dozen, but it's hard to say.

Absolutely. The technique has to be there, but something like this comes from the soul.

That's a great picture. I love how you can see so many details in the feathers.

That sounds like it might be nice. Peaceful is the first word that comes to mind. I almost always have a lot of vivid sounds, pictures, shapes, textures, movements, even smells in my head. I can turn it off sometimes, but it's work. I don't think I'd give it up, but it can be a little overwhelming sometimes and often makes me feel like an odd duck.

Fascinating. If you hadn't said that's an eye, I might have guessed it was something from space.

Made me think of tigers, who apparently look green to the animals they hunt, since they can't see red/orange. I wonder how owls see colors. And who eats them...maybe just other birds of prey?

I was hoping to find a video of him shredding something, but no luck. It's a bit of a tease that they just show the coconut on the ground :) Must be a pretty powerful beak if he can tear that apart.

His chirps are very cute. Didn't know they could make those sounds.
