Sorry. I just remembered that the GOAT beat Mahomes because of a tie close to a super bowl.

Re: GO CHIEFS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yet, all I heard on TV was that the rules following a tie MUST change.I didn't hear that when the same thing happened during the super bowl where the Patriots beat the Chiefs a while back.

Re: Powell Gardens 2009

Thank you for posting your beautiful flowers. I wound up in the hospital for two and a half months. I am now bedridden. Neuropathy renders my fingers and hands nearly useless. I will no longer be posting pictures.

Re: Powell Gardens 2009

Again, it is September, 2020. This flower seems prevalent. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51163972003_fe436dc881_c_d.jpg The lake here is nice. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51163728276_eaec90d408_c_d.jpg The flower he found must have been worthy. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51164...

Re: Powell Gardens 9/15/20

Let me start off by admitting that I’m an idiot. When I saw “2009” in my pictures folder, I assumed it referred to the year 2009. It didn’t. It meant the year 2020, Month 9 (September, 2020.) I finally noticed the dates on the pictures. They indeed referred to nearly a year and a half AFTER the 2019...

I was there in 2009. Maybe we saw each other there : )

It's a variety of hardy hibiscus. I have one like this in my yard, except the flowers are a dark red instead pink.
You should post a picture of your flower. I'd love to see it.

Re: KC Zoo 2020

I have always loved the Africa section. Spread out with lots to explore. Feels a little less like a Zoo or more like nature than Omaha or especially STL. I meant to comment earlier on your post. Yes, indeed. I was taken aback by all the gorgeous scenery at this zoo. For me, the animals were not the...

These are the last pictures from that day at the zoo, on 11/6/20.

You can go to this zoo and see beautiful scenery, even if you don’t see one animal. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51041634151_6ce7c0dc30_c_d.jpg The berries have it. https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51040903128_408fa68783_c_d.jpg Not the Ozarks.

Re: KC Zoo 2020

Have you taken a drive past the new Terminal at KCI? I was wondering what you think of progress so far and of the new terminal in general vs the existing one and downtown airport. Gosh, no. I pretty much stay in the house. I haven't even gone to the grocery store since last March. My son does that....

Re: KC Zoo 2020

I didn't even know about those plans, NormalThings. I just checked and observed that construction begins in 2021. The grand opening will be in 2023. I may not even be alive then! But if I am, I will make a point to visit the aquarium and take pictures, just for you. <smiley face>

Re: KC Zoo 2020

The video was taken next to a man-made lake behind my house in Kansas City, north of the river. I believe the lake is fed by streams. Perhaps Shoal Creek is involved. That same day, a bald eagle showed up, and we got a video of him, too. But it is rather long and requires editing.

Re: KC Zoo 2020

About that river otter. I did take a few pictures, via my cell phone through my son's telescope, but they weren't very good. Then he took a video with his cell phone, using the same setup, with greater success. It's still nothing ready for Hollywood, but it's better than nothing. The video was taken...

Re: KC Zoo 2020

Thank you, Major. I certainly displayed my ignorance with the otter/seal thing. I appreciate your kind and gentle correction. All I do on these trips is take pictures. Occasionally I'll catch a sign. I should have paid better attention to one of those signs that must have been there. Now that you me...
