The Cottonmouth Coincidence
The Cottonmouth gets its name from the distinctive features inside its mouth. If agitated, this aggressive reptile will open its mouth and display its fangs. A snake with fangs? What?? You might catch a glimpse of the flesh inside the viper's cheeks before wetting your pants. They're white and resemble little balls of fluffy cotton. Not for clinical use.

Monarch Butterflies
Monarch Butterflies: An Endangered Species How did monarch butterflies become endangered? Back in the 1990’s, hundreds of millions of monarch butterflies gathered in Mexico. Today, only a small portion of that number still m akes the incredible journey there. So, how did the monarch butterflies become endangered? There’s a few factors that play into this, the first being pesticides. Around one billion pounds of conventional pesticides are used each year in the USA alone. They’re used for insects, weeds and other pests, but they also affect the monarch caterpillars that eat the milkweed that gets sprayed. The monarch’s habitat is also slowly being lost, which, in turn, leads to the loss of more monarchs as well.

Living through Ian. Top Story - October 2022.
My home is on Fort Myers Beach but I rode out the storm at my daughter's place in north Fort Myers. I am devastated, grateful beyond words, distraught, happy, sickened, relieved and overwhelmed. We lost so much and we have so much left. Time stands still, and time rushes by. The rollercoaster of emotions rocks you into sleep and back out. We are out of homes and jobs, but we are ALIVE. Barring a couple of acquaintances, everyone has checked in safe and ALIVE. Hence, the happy part. Many cannot say the same. Thinking of those that were not as lucky is the crippling sadness part. So many lives forever changed. So many lost. Lifetimes of treasures and keepsakes gone forever. For tens of thousands of people, memories are all that remain. For thousands of people, anticipation of happy news and fear of bad news still dominates their every thought. There is a strange mixture of hope and rebirth constantly overshadowed by fear, grief and uncertainty. It makes me feel guilty to feel happy and grateful, knowing how many don't get to feel that way right now.

The origin of the invention of the atomic bomb
Why does the atomic bomb have such high energy? I believe this question can be answered by many friends, it is because the atomic bomb uses heavy nuclear fission, but a uranium-235 nucleus fission called barium-141 and the krypton-92 nucleus will lose a little mass, and this lost mass will be completely converted into energy by mass to energy conversion, and the formula is as follows.
