It’s a wonder how such big animals like hippos and elephants can be vegetarians and get so huge. You’re so knowledgeable about these animals. I just know to not get close to them if I’m ever anywhere near one.

Right now one of the main concerns we have in our province is invasive species. How little insects can do so much damage? At first it was one of those news I read about then we ended up having all the ash trees in our whole neighbourhood cut down about 5 years ago because of emerald ash borers. Our sidewalks were lined with ash trees so for a couple years the whole place looked barren except for trees people already had in their yard. It looked like we were in a new subdivision. When the city finally came to plant new trees, they were only about 5 feet tall. I’m not even sure what type of trees they are but hopefully there will be no more bugs.

Dutch elm disease attacked the elm trees in an old neighborhood of mine way back when. Once the trees were cut down, the neighborhood deteriorated, it didn't look the same, property values declined. Now, it was probably more than the loss of trees that led to decline but once a neighborhood no longer looks pretty, it can go to pot. Yours fortunately had foresight and the funds to replant.

Earlier this year out in Washington State area, the Pacific Northwest, the big invader was so-called "murder hornets." Haven't heard anything lately. I think the nests were vacuumed up but how the bag of hornets was disposed of I don't know. Apparently bees can beat their wings and heat the hive up making it uncomfortable for invading hornets. That was the big worry, losing honeybees in an agricultural area.

Do you see that many birds anymore? I think the bird population has declined a lot, reputedly due to bug spray and cats -- although I never see cats wandering around outside. Twenty years ago there were a good amount of birds in the neighborhood. I planted various flowers when I was a kid (different neighborhood) and was thrilled to see a hummingbird visit one of my flowers. I don't think I'd see that nowadays.

I used to go bird-watching a long time ago. Saw (and heard) mainly woodpeckers. And a snowy owl in the aftermath of a blizzard.

The speed of climate change has really amazed me. In little more than a century the world has changed so much due to the internal combustion engine. How could this happen so quickly? (Rhetorical question).

I was advised to put this in a thread, so editing to say the below will be posted separately, thank you and sorry!

Hi everyone - I'm hoping for some fast advice as I have to decide tomorrow on a lime Trim Duo 24.

The one I received has marks inside and I'd prefer one that doesn't. I'm not in a rush. Do you know if more will be available? Is lime "over"? I don't follow production to have any sense of my chances if I return this one. Tracking down an existing one at a boutique is unfortunately hard to impossible given my location. I really appreciate any thoughts, thank you.

Hi guys, can anyone tell me whether the below is a Garden Party with a proper Hermes strap, or is this DIY？Seeing this got me interested, makes the GP more wearable and convenient. Thank you!

I saw this on the US site a couple days ago (had to look for it on another country's site since the US site shows a blank entry now)

It's a slouchy garden party with a strap, and more vertical than horizontal
that lady's GP is probably a DIY

The murder hornets sound horrifying! About 5 years ago, I got stung by a bee and my whole forearm swelled right up. Now I’m really scared of bees, wasps, hornets, etc. I read that in the rural areas of our province, more people are putting bee hives and chicken coup in their backyard since the pandemic has started. Could be that they’re at home more now. I don’t know about bees. They’re good for our planet but they have built in weapon!

We have herons that would come visit us at our cottage every summer. I can’t tell if they’re the same ones every year.

Hmm…I don’t know how I feel about this bag. It’s not quite a tote like the original GP and not quite a shoulder bag.

I am eyeing the men's so black Clic HH bracelet - it is the 2021 S/S model
Today at the store the SA put my details down in the system and said there are 13 people waiting in front of me...
So is there any chance I would get this bracelet?
I don't mind to wait - I only worried that F/W is coming and seasonal items won't be in production anymore...

I am not a regular customers with Hermes. I know the waiting game for bags pretty well, I am just not sure how cheaper accessories waiting game is like compared to bags? For LV - as long as u place deposit it means u are secured to get the item you just have to wait...

Does anyone can shed me some light please? I really like this bracelet
