Why are these emperor penguin chicks jumping from a 50-foot cliff?

The first-of-its-kind footage, taken in January 2024 via drone, captures a rare event that may become more common as sea ice declines and penguins are forced to adapt.

I heard tell of a Kona low too.

Grandmother always said you'll never get allergies and Grandfather always said as long as you eat meat.

Hi LB, Here's something interesting in June for you and I. You go to Dr in June to make appointment for another knee replacement. I go to Dr in June for x-ray Dr wants of my knee he wants to replace. I'm enjoying my walks and even mowed the lawn once this year so I'm not ready to schedule knee replacement yet. You and I are opposites there. I am really happy for you though having your left knee done and you're doing so good. That's awesome. I just don't want to give up 2 months plus of being active and going places and doing things. Maybe January when I'd be stuck inside most of the time.

What is a csr? Customer Service Rep? Whatever a csr position is most were laid off?? That doesn't sound good.
All you mention doesn't sound good but the fact you were given additional work I would think (hope) your position is secure.
True to wait to see what happens but in the meantime try not to worry too much. Yeah I know. Easier said than done.

We might go to the cabin tomorrow. I'm letting you know now in case we leave early and I don't post this weekend. The internet we have on the mountain is sketchy off and on.
