As much as that is preferable, that's not the Federal holiday. As noted below, there is nothing listed for Oct 14.

 

I have the "HOLIDAYS" calendar loaded for the US in the Proton Calendar app but Oct 14, Columbus Day isn't included. I know it's a contentious "holiday" but it's still listed as a Federal Holiday and should be included.

They can last a while in there. I used my shop vac for spotted lantern flies. They didn't die.

 

Whoever stole the shop vac is in for a very big surprise.

It's not "finders keepers". In this case, the owner was identifiable. There are laws in most states that require you report found valuables or cash and make an effort to find the owner. It's at least a misdemeanor if you don't.

This was not a new photo, as noted. The photo was apparently with the Centre for Fortean Zoology and they determined it was NOT genuine.

We should remember that it's a mistake to judge other cultures by our 21st century Western standards. Education is the key to stopping it. Humans have terrible trouble attributing bad outcomes to chance; we need to blame someone. Witch accusations remain a social problem in several places worldwide.

The molecule has been found in space, but that doesn't mean it couldn't also have formed on earth pretty easily. This article has not been peer reviewed so, I don't think it boosts the idea of panspermia very much.

Ha. I thought the same thing. Dogs don’t like “spa day”.
