Poor Tree! First, it was fascinating to watch the tree coming down. Second, I'm surprised that the tree didn't uproot some time ago. That monster was doing some serious leaning. That would have really hurt if it fell on a passing vehicle. Third, I don't know why it reminded me of the decisions...

@jd415, Nice restoration of your front yard. Here are some other thoughts that came to mind: I like the stain color of the fence. It doesn't look too dark to me. Since your front yard is fenced in (i.e. blocked from street view), I'd be tempted to put outdoor furniture there. It looks cozy. Of...

Pretty Neat! I didn't realize how dusty my laptop screen was until I tried looking for the satellites. I had to clean my screen before I could see them.

I agree that a transformer probably blew. It was most likely caused by a small animal traveling along the pole wires. This happened often at my parent's house with squirrels. They would travel the pole wires and touch the transformer. Then boom! ... an explosion and power outage. The electrical...

Other physical things that don't change: Your height; Your inseam; Your arm length; Your torso; and Your head size. Those can be measured as compared to a known, fixed size object in an image.

I noticed the same jacket (w/stripes), pants, and shoes. When he walks away he has the same slack and wrinkles in the butt of his pants. So yes, I believe the delivery guy is also the thief.

Thanks @Ssayer and @dmcIPCAM. I Googled Cooper's Hawk and it seems like that is the predator bird. Although I can't see the front of the bird to verify its stripy orange chest, the rear matches the images I saw.

I was in my garage and heard two loud bangs against the door. After investigating, I saw that my driveway camera recorded the attached bird chase. The chased bird flies by at the :04 secs mark and the predator bird flies by at the :06 secs mark. Apparently, the bird being chased slammed into...

Hey @Sybertiger ... Been there, Done that! Best of all, swallowing those coke can tabs will really test your "internal" fortitude ...

Young and dumb ... They'll never forget that moment of "fun"! Confession Time: This reminds me of the stupid and dangerous things I did growing up. In some cases I'm lucking I didn't get seriously hurt or killed. I cringe whenever I reminisce about those events.

I'm with you on that one! Staring that long felt like I was taking an optical test. Based on what @Ri22o says, we only saw 25% of the meteors. In other words, we failed the eye test. :thumbdown:

I only saw 3 "shooting stars". Where there more?

There's always amazing stuff going on at your intersection. Keep posting, as I enjoy the entertainment :thumb:

Prey swallowed whole is always ingested head first. So, my guess is the mouse quickly suffocates, drowns, or is paralyzed on the way to the owl's stomach.

That was amazing. I would have never guessed there was a guardrail under all of that brush (although the black and yellow end caps should have been a clue). That was a lot to remove, and it was a pretty big guardrail. That reminds me of overgrown bushes and trees that block the line of site...

They look pretty old to be college students. That's not what I imaged from the company name.

Off Topic: (for @Ri22o) I noticed that the mailboxes are only on one side of the street. I've never seen this before. What gives? ... Is that a one way street?

Nice shots. It looks like a gray fox. We have red foxes in my area. I rarely see them. P.S. The fence looks like it's 8' tall, yet the fox had no trouble climbing straight up.

A similar thing almost happened to me. One day I was backing out of my two car garage. There was no other vehicle parked in the second half of the driveway when I started. Then, suddenly my peripheral vision saw a strange car sitting in the other half of my driveway. My reaction was WTF, where...

The DD driver obviously didn't give an F where he parked. However, from his perspective he might not have realized that the passenger side of his car was smashed in. In other words, he heard a sound, looked back, but didn't notice anything strange on the driver's side of his car. One other...

How about moth balls? I've heard that the smell keeps rodents away, but have no proof.

What the Heck!!! Are you kidding me? Did I just see the most unexplainable reason for that incident? I'm scratching my head in amazement.

As one YouTuber noted: This gives new meaning to the term "Backfire" :lmao:

This reminds me of the scene in Alfred Hitchcock's 1963 movie "The Birds". It was the scariest movie I'd ever seen at that time.

I vote coyote. Coyotes have short tails, and long legs vs foxes with long tails, and short legs. I'm not sure of the color of the foxes in your area, but red foxes have black legs (socks) and a white tip tail.

I'm with you @TonyR. What are reporters trying to prove by standing in extreme storms? Simultaneously, they're pleading with us not to be out in the storm because you'll be risking serious harm or your life. Contrary to their "sensational act", I was never impressed, and viewed the reporters...

Think of it this way ... It's close to Halloween, and the Trick-O-Treaters are trying out their costumes. And thus, the AI software wasn't fooled by their costumes. My favorite costumes are the person disguised as a kid's tricycle, and the deer disguised as a wheelbarrow

LOL ... That was too funny! The misidentified objects even have a higher probability rating.

That's probably the likely reason. What amazes me is that none of the motorist stopped to move the cooler out of the way. I've seen the same thing happening with garbage cans in the middle of the street. Motorist will either go around it, or run over it. P.S., If that was a cooler of beer...

I didn't state anything as a fact or opinion, just a couple of possibilities. It was just a thought that came to mind. All mechanical things can jam, and all electronics and software have bugs that can cause malfunctions. That's why we get recalls and updates. As I mentioned in an earlier...
