great catch

A dot on the beach races forward and dramatically saves the drone that is recording the scene from certain destruction where ocean crashes upon rocks. When you dash into ocean like that make sure your mouth is closed tight so you don't get any salt water en ya.

Hey, do you know what that little blue structure on a pole reminded me of? A birdhouse.

It's hexagonal. Like a flower the shape can be centered on a pop up card. Two sides attached and four sides unattached. Then the roof is a cone constructed similarly. It folds flatly.

Then that put on a branch that's like a mini card inside the regular card. A stack of branches, actually. So the branch's central fold not the card's central fold. And it works.

I sent it to my sister-in-law. The newest one. And she is such a sensitive gal. Every little thing makes her cry. And that's just encouraging when you get a reaction like that.

Well, I guess there might be thriving business in waterproofing drones.

That guy flew over the rocks like a goat. Then back down them, still rocks like that under the water.

You see the dot from above. He had the choice of going around the jetty but didn't. He calculated he had just enough time to go straight to it the HARD way and did it. I watched this thing three times and I'm amazed each time. Truly amazed.

I lost my mobility on such a jetty in Mexico. That's where I lost the goat-ability, right there on the rocks. Similar to these. I went out to the end like a goat, as he does, rock to rock sure-footedly, stretching and landing with confidence. Then once out there at the end of it and with weather moving in and ready to return all calculations were off. All ability to target a spot and set foot and weight on it was lost. Distressingly, I'd have to crawl back over the rocks like a crab, with help, not understanding what happened and then with help walk back to the chairs there to ponder my new situation. So this view really gets me pow right in the solar plexus seeing this guy do so easily what I used to do but now can't. It seems amazing to me. Beyond human ability, because it's beyond mine.
