Nature has some tricks up her sleeve, I’ll tell you.

There are all sorts of things that are pretty knock-your-socks-off-good.  Stunning and stupendous.

Like….. well….. the skin of an apple, fits that perky fruit just perfectly.  I think it is appealing.

The snow flake phenomena… that no two are exactly alike (I am not sure that anyone REALLY knows this for sure). When I was eight, I am pretty sure I saw one that looked JUST like another that I saw when I was eleven. No way to prove it now. They melted.

The moon controls the tides. It lets them get high and low… but most of the time… not too high and not too low.  Not too happy… and not too sad.

Human brains come in different sizes. The heaviest human brain ever recorded weighed 5 pounds and 1.1 ounces (2.3 kg.). Now, how do YOU figure that THEY figured THAT one….?

Sound travels about 4 times faster in water than in air. I tested this. With tin cans and strings.  (This was ONE tough experiment to conduct.  Especially, the underwater part….  but I am feeling much better now.)

I used to be a chemistry major. The only letter that isn’t on the periodic table is “j”…. I have loads of theories about this one.

North Dakota has never had an earthquake. Don’t hold any blame there….It is not its fault.

One thing in nature I am really glad for is the fact that the leg bones of a bat are so thin that no bat can walk. I can’t tell you how happy that makes me.

These fluffy things (in my photo) make a low-pitched humming noise at dusk. It freaks me out when I walk by a big bunch of them… like at the end of our driveway.

So, just a few things to ponder tonight…..

You don’t think that humming noise could be someone hiding in all that fluff…. like Munchkins, or something?  Or heaven forbid… walking bats?  (I mean… scientists were wrong about lobotomies…..  Hey… you think that is how they measured that brain?)

Oooohhhhhh.  Nature and her antics….
