Trivia
|
Tigers can run as fast as 35 mph, but only for
short distances. Most of their prey can outrun them, especially deer and antelope. A tiger
can eat nearly 1/5 of its body weight in one meal - about 88 pounds. In one
year, an adult male tiger can eat up to 8,000 pounds of meat. |
My Sometimes-Long-Winded Thoughts

Blue sky, just a breeze, and a nice fall day. Parents of
Michigan shooter also charged…involuntary manslaughter. A tragic incident. I’m
confused…President Trump tested positive for COVID before the debate, then he
took another test and tested negative. Was he or wasn’t he positive? Trump
took the negative as his condition and had the debate. To be honest, I’m
not sure what I would have done. I hope I would have quarantined myself to be
sure. Getting
nervous about my Christmas trip and my Tahiti trip in March. Will I need a
test 24 hours before returning? If so, where do I get one? Better start
checking soon. A Tucson police
officer in trouble for shooting a shoplifter in a wheelchair 9 times. The
officer said he couldn’t use his taser because of the wheelchair. He awaits
trial. |
