Your excerpt made me read the article. For those who haven’t or just don’t want to read it, ducks aren’t the only “crazy” birds. Crows and Magpies have been using these spikes and other dangerous human liter as defense from predators. What type of dangerous liter you might ask?

In 1933, a South African museum reported a crow’s nest fashioned from hard-drawn copper, galvanised iron and barbed wire. Nails, screws and even drug users’ syringes have all found their way into birds’ nests.

Some have even ripped metal off nearby factories to build their nests. These birds are on another level.

If you are expressing your emotions through writing I’m sure that’s considered as journaling. Sounds like a very interesting et up though I’ve never been able to get into poetry writing, it’ difficult to get a rhyming scheme going for me. I hope you feel welcomed in this community as it grows and share some of your poetry!

Hi, thanks for your post! I really appreciate the kind words. I was honestly surprised there wasn’t a journaling type community already made when I first joined and it took a lot for me to decide I should just make one. Working on some stuff at the moment to try to get some engagement up soon so stay tuned!

Got really bad ADHD so short-term memory things like this are not something I can remember consistently. There are other factors like new drivers or how others have mentioned using multiple vehicles due to work or leasing.

Hi sorry about that! Thought I had it in the text body my bad. Just added it in.

I learned this recently. I would end up circling the gas pumps trying to remember if it was right or left. It wasn’t until the person who was on the pump beside me, who also saw me do this circle before getting it right, told me about this feature. I remember telling a friend of mine about it and they told me that they already knew, but no one ever told me about it. Glad to know I’m not the only one who would have to play the guessing game of “which side is the gas tank”.

It seems like the logical thing to do, but when I first started driving I had no idea how the side mirrors had to be adjusted. I eventually decided that I should at least have it angled to see the other lanes for when I wanted to merge. It wasn’t until much later that I learned that the side mirrors could and should be used to check the back of the car as well.
