Friends just call me Ross

I collected The Bee Gees' music--in all forms, MP3's, albums, 45's, CDs, cassette tapes and even some 8-tracks. I say "collected", past tense, because there is nothing--within my budget--left to collect. 🤭 I must say, having all those various forms of an artists' music is not the fun part. The fun was in the hunt, the collecting.😁👍👍 Visiting used record shops, scouring the used record sales at the local malls, searching the listings on e-Bay...and then the thrill of actually finding a new item to add to your growing collection.💃💃💃💃💃😂 Yup. The thrill was in the hunting and finally finding. Not the actual having. So now... I'm hunting, er, collecting owls.🤭 When we retired from farming a few years ago, we kept a piece of river property. We purchased a 20 year old destination camper and placed it on the property...and now I'm filling it, inside and out, with... owls. And I'm having a fun time doing it.😁👍👍 When I was younger, I had an impressive rock collection, and a collection of model horses. It was virtually impossible to keep glass and ceramic horses cuz my cats kept knocking them off the shelves.😩🙈😂🤣😂🤣

A friend sent this video to me. It does a super job of explaining a Super El Nino. https://youtu.be/aErvUF2PHew?si=DsPhW0xfeIiG6mCK

The 7.3 quake in Mexico has already experienced some large aftershocks, such as this 6.0

A tsunami alert has been issued, following a 7.3 just off the coast of Chiapas, Mexico.

😮😵‍💫 https://spaceweather.com/ I've been on this planet for three quarters of a century and I didn't even know the Earth HAD a mini moon. 🤭

The BBC has an up-to-date article on this quake. So far, 3 confirmed deaths and 5 injured.😢 https://www.bbc.com/news/live/c20y4xp43ywt

You were right. Updated to a 7.8

Looking pretty official😁

Boy, were you right!🙈👍

The Philippines has just experienced a 6.0 earthquake and a violent volcanic eruption.🙈 😢

Japan was hit again, this time on land 50 miles beneath the surface.

A Mega Quake advisory has been issued for Japan.

There was a tsunami warning issued locally. Danger was that the possible 3 meter tsunami waves would hit at high tide.

🙉🙉🙉 Why do TV stations hire people, with terribly annoying voices, to present the News, Sports and Weather?😩😩😩🙉🙉🙉 Better yet, why do people with grating voices even go into broadcasting in the first place?🙈 It's like someone, who couldn't carry a tune in a basket, wanting to become a professional singer.🙉😩😩😩 Record companies would go out of business if they signed tone deaf singers. Just a random rant because it pains my ears to listen to the local news.🙉😩😂
