Tonight, I offer you a sampling of little facts I found today. But very true.  Coincidentally, I present to you…. some photos I shot today ….which happen to coincide.  In my little mind.

The longest Oil Pipeline in the United States is called the Rockies Express Pipeline.  It is 1,678 miles long and it stretches from Colorado to Ohio.

This is a photo of the shortest Oil Pipeline in the U.S. running from Miller Lane Carwash, Eaton, Ohio, to Miller Lane Carwash, Eaton, Ohio.

Cloud-to-ground lightning bolts are a common phenomenon—about 100 strike Earth’s surface every single second—yet their power is extraordinary. Each bolt can contain up to one billion volts of electricity.

That is a lot.

And these bolts, in the side of an old building…. are representative of up to one billion other bolts… in the sides of other buildings… WHERE electric is used … all over the world.  Amazing Coincidence.  Simply stinking remarkable.

Finally…
Studies show that apes experience dips in happiness in their middle age, much like people do.

And of course… this orange peel on the ground.
The correlation?  Well… Apes in midlife crisis quit loving bananas the way they used to.  They try other fruit.  Peely fruit.  Hence the orange on the ground.  I imagine an Ape in Midlife Crisis was by this place on Barron Street…. sometime during the morning … and threw down that orange peel.  Clowns all over the world are sorely dissappointed, as these are much harder to slip on than banana peels.

And me and the apes are stuck in mid-life crisis.   How bananas is THAT?
