Best thing in the past few months. What began as a side project of sending books to sailors on deployment is turning into a much bigger project through collaboration with #ProjectPaperback and #USO.

#BooksFeedMinds
Some of the 150 books that we've sent to ships on deployment, including USS STOUT (DDG 55), USS WASP LHD 1, USS Dwight D. Eisenhower (CVN 69) and USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75).

Shoutout to the Chaplain on USS Stout who collected requests for books from the Sailors!

I'm so sorry! I hope you'll feel better soon!
I find @grok to be particularly useful, and unlike one that I won't mention be name, is much less prone to hallucinations and attitude. Yes, they can sometimes be what one can only call passive aggressive. Never yet with Grok!
Have not seen an egret do a soft shoe shuffle yet! Adding to bucket list of things I'd like to see!
Did you know that egrets have a clever hunting trick? They shuffle their feet in shallow water to stir up fish and insects, making them easier to catch.

Buffy the escape artist at Lords Park Zoo. She regularly jumps the fence, but is getting a little big to clear it cleanly.

A Broad-winged Hawk soaring over the Montrose Point Bird Sanctuary meadow in Chicago. This visitor has been here for a week and is the first ever recorded Broad-wing at the Sanctuary. Very exciting for the dedicated patch birders.

Final post of my #navyweek experience. I wish I could do more of this. I know there is a recruiting element, but there’s more to it. It’s about getting away from the coasts and letting folks see who we are. It’s about connecting as Americans. It’s about getting to know the people we serve.

She has that effect!
What is it about owls that they always seem to be judging one?
