Hello, and welcome to
Oh, Fun Fact Friday.
We're a weekly podcast and we talked about different facts,
and fun news, stories and some cool stuff we find on the
internet or do in real life. So, check us out at Fun Fact.
friday.com you can send us corrections or your own fun
facts to male and FunFactFriday.com Wow, that was
like that was rehearsed or something. I'm getting pretty
good at that. So Lila, yeah. What is?
caves?
Caves? What is caves?
Caves?
Okay, caves. What do Okay, so before we start talking about
our topic, we like to start off the show and let everyone know
we do this show live on Thursday nights. We know. We know.
We know. Don't worry.
It's Fun Fact. Friday, but guess what? It's already Friday. In
Australia. It's already Friday. Yeah. So I don't want to we're
glad to hear it.
We are global. We
are Australia.
Now because it's a continent.
And we are no
okay are so yeah, we do this show Thursday night, seven
o'clock Eastern, Eastern America, America time. And
Eastern America time. You can listen directly on our website
FunFactFriday.com. Or you can use curio caster or pod verse to
listen because we use the lit tag, the live item tag and
podcasting 2.0 apps. If they support it, we're there.
Something we enjoy being a part of as the podcasting 2.0. And
that being said, oh, oh, yeah. And chit chatting. We
have. Oh,
we have what I was gonna say the donations. Oh, yeah. But we will
need to talk about the chat room. Oh, yeah. Because there's
some confusion. We have a chat room. You can get to it right
from the website. We have an embedded Kiwi client, right on
the website. But if you want to use your own IRC client, like
I'm trying to introduce Lila into hex chat. And what hex chat
is is a IRC client. IRC is Internet Relay Chat. So IRC is
like the protocol. It's like the whole the groundwork, right. And
hex chat is a program that can access IRC servers. Does that
make sense? And then zero node is the IRC server that we're on.
Zero node is the name of the server. So it's IRC dot zero
node dot
hex chat. Okay, so this is a pyramid. Going from the biggest
to the smallest. I got heck, okay. At the bottom, we got hex
chat. Nope.
Nope. IRC is at the bottom. That's the underlying thing.
Right? And it's the sort of Oh, yeah, the protocol. And then
next is hex chat. Nope, the next zero node because that's the
actual server that we're on.
Okay. And then we have we have hex chat
is just how we access it. At the very, right. It's like chrome or
brave like we use accesses HTML pages, right? Yeah. So hex chat
accesses IRC channels. It's a program used to access a
protocol that's being run on a server. Got it? Make sense?
Yeah. Yeah. You get it. So anyway, we have a chat room it
is IRC, we are looking into which I know how to do it. It's
just a matter of doing it. Linking it up with our Discord.
And maybe, I don't know we can link it up to about 10 different
protocols, but I got to look into the server power required
to do that. You can also get get us on the on mastodon. We have
an instance that social medias media.com We are fun pick at Fun
Fact Friday at social dot Mises media.com. Okay, so now we're
going to talk about some support.
Yay.
Yay. enthusiam we got a lot. Okay. So we do value for value.
I'm talking a lot tonight. But value for value is if you get
something out of our show. Give Something Back. And that can be
one of three things what are the
time, talent and treasure
and we got all three this week. All three all three. So we got
some monetary donations. I've got them listed here. We got a
Pay Pal A monthly sustaining donation which are awesome
because that that pays the server bills and pays for the
electricity to run the road caster and all that good stuff.
We got that from vents 555 That's $5,550 Every month no no
it's $5.50 bucks we appreciate that that's that's fantastic.
And then we got boosts boost boost we
take Bart Carlson back
yeah and I need to I need to get my levels are weird I'm a little
bassy tonight yeah, notice in that weird i don't know what's
going on there at the play with the the mixer. But yeah, we got
lots of booths this week. Which is fantastic. Starting at the
end of the last show we got 50 sets from Doom guard for the
scams episode. We got 10 sets. Both all these are from fountain
we got 10 sets from Doom guard for episode 119 hip lingo we got
a neither one of those had a message but thank you Doomguard
we got three Excuse me 333 sets from Baroness love and light and
Baroness Love and Light says possible topic. I just had a
lovely honeymoon in in nature areas near where I live. Well
congratulations. Congratulations on. Yeah, going on your
honeymoon. That's that's I'm assuming it's getting married.
Yes, typically you're gonna but I know if people who took a long
time to go on their honeymoon after they got married. So if
you got married congratulations. Either way. Congratulations on
the honeymoon. It was beautiful and made me think of flora and
fauna in your area as a topic. And that's that's a great topic
because we were actually just out I'm looking at digging a big
hole in the woods behind our house. Turning it into like a
like a dugout type.
Tell me about this.
This one about the pickaxe I'm gonna dig out an area and put a
put a roof over it down here that really flat area. So we can
have like a little camping area, but it's also covered. When
that'd be cool. Yeah, plus to get the swing of pickaxe around
true. I did the math, it's going to be about eight and a half
tons of dirt I have to move plus dig through the roots and, and
all that. So it's gonna be fun. It's a good workout. Yeah, so we
were out in the woods looking at the area. And we found all kinds
of cool plants and what do we find? What were those berries?
Beauty berries, beauty berries, and we looked them up and they
are a natural mosquito repellent. And they did
something else to do you remember cancer? Yeah, they were
they know. Hopefully they help fight cancer. Yeah, apparently
and some studies. So thank you for the 333 sets Baroness, love
and light. We got 10 sets to fountain from das more 20 sets
from McFly. No message on either of those. Those are both of his
games episode. And 50 SATs from Rasta Calavera and this is a
good long boost. Just discovered your show on fountain. I fell
for an email scam for the first time ever. It was super
convincing. And I realized what I had done quickly and damaged.
The damage was minimal. When I used to teach during October,
which is cybersecurity month, there's a fun pack for you. I
would use raspberry pi computers for hotspot attacks to teach the
kids not to trust open networks. No personal data was collected
but it really helped the kids understand and value their
privacy. We talked about that last night. We went to the fair
of Thank you rustical Calavera for the 50 SATs do fountain I
got a note on fountain airmen. But we were at the fair and
legal legal was going off with one of our friends to go ride
some rides. And I pulled up my phone and we were just checking
our batteries, make sure that her battery was good and all
that so she could go off and still get a hold of us. And
there's open Wi Fi network at the fair
I wasn't gonna join it. Wait, don't
get it. We both looked at each other like we're like no, man in
the middle attack. You don't want to you don't want to fall
for it. It was honestly it was probably just like an open Wi Fi
printer or something from one of the vendors. Yeah, but still you
know you don't don't want to trust it. I don't think the
Wayne County North Carolina Fair has a whole lot of actors. So,
quick note on fountain but Before we wrap up the boosts
section fountain, we were thanks to dred Scott's amazing big
baller huge row of ducks boost of 223,222 SATs last week. We
were the number four show and fountain and we had the we were
the number one spot for big baller boosts. Wow. So I think a
lot of people who found us on fountain was directly because of
that, that big baller boost. So thank you drab. Yeah, do too
much.
I was yawning. Sorry. So,
so yeah, and that's that wraps up the boost section. We got
some mail. Talk about that in a second. We've got some
electricity. Oh, no, it's that one bulb. Oh, that one bulb has
been janky since we put it in there. We gotta we gotta janky
nevermind.
So let's let me get the chat room pulled back.
I missed when we didn't have this desk here. And we were just
doing that on Twitch. I don't want to do it anymore on Twitch.
Yeah, the the Twitch thing it was if we had a studio, I could
still see doing it. Yeah, but it's the taking, taking
everything apart, putting everything back together every
week. That was I got a little old. Yeah, I got a little old.
But once we get our studio set up, maybe we'll start doing
videos again. Because I did enjoy that. That was fun. I just
didn't like the tearing down and putting it back up. So that was
the treasurer portion of our support section. We got some
mail. l got some mail from K. O which is what actually gave us
our idea for this episode. And we have a gift. I think it's for
the show. There was no note or anything. It was just a dress to
meet US media. It is a mug. And it's one of those mugs that
looks it looks all Halloweeny but and it's just black with
like red drips going down the sides, you know? Yeah. But then
when you get a hot liquid in it, a picture appears. And it's
like, like a spooky guy, you know? Yeah, but behind some
frosted glass real spooky.
Oh my goodness. And I don't know
who it's from
me and my friend. Yesterday, I'm at the fair, even a spooky ride
out.
And even the person that was getting us into our carts was
like working and was actually like in the mood. And I loved it
so much. And it was just like this old lady. That will be
super sweet.
But she was acting all spooky. Yeah, that's awesome. Awesome.
Season. I agree. But we don't know who the mugs from. Let us
know.
Send in an email. We'll believe you.
So first person
gullible Fun Fact Friday servo
says don't put it in the dishwasher. We know we've had a
TARDIS
loves it you servo
Oh, was it server? Was it sir? Now the color changing mugs
we've had quite a few and we just got a dishwasher like this
house is the first time I've ever had a dishwasher. My mom
put
my Dunkin Donuts mug in the coffee in the car. And it
bubbled I wish I still had
my TARDIS mug. It got dishwashers. Though it was not
servo but then pointy nose point do you know is that Pinocchio?
Like you're lying? Oh servo was the first one to say that.
Anyway, we need we need to note because is it for me or Lila?
Because you can't send something that we both want and then not
say who it's from. Or Or who it's for you know you don't ask
for extra when somebody sends you a star through? You just
gonna miss none. Or you can send us a letter saying we have to
have a duel for it or something. Yeah,
like a rock paper scissors duel on air or Rock Band. Rock Band
duel on air. You got the rock band out? I have been loving it.
Yeah rock bands fun.
I like the drums.
So we got this letter from K
O K letter.
Yes you can Yeah, because k is cool is normal way of doing
things wrote in cursive for me and then printed and printed him
back on the back and included an image I love it. The links in
this show this episode show notes. I look for case corner it
goes to a paste bin and then there's a whole group of links
inside the basement. So some good stuff. Yeah. So why don't
you start us off with case corners caves. Caves corner.
Caves quarter You get it?
Yeah. Do you think in the year 2002 Brothers Guan and Pedro
Sanchez, are drilling a tunnel in the mine in Chihuahua,
Mexico, Chihuahua, Mexico when they broke through the wall of a
cave, my 980 feet underground. They were the first humans to
see natural wonder for over a million years in the making.
What they discovered became known as the cave of crystals.
This horseshoe shaped cave contains a spectacular formation
of milky white gypsum crystals that are among the largest on
Earth, the largest crystal is over 37 feet long and three feet
thick. Hundreds of these large crystals dropped from a floor to
the ceiling in all directions. The brothers couldn't stay in
the cave for long, the air temperatures reached up to 136
degrees Fahrenheit and the humidity was nearly 100%.
Subsequently explorers could safely say in those conditions
for only 10 minutes at a time, teams of scientists only use
refrigerator suits to explore the cave. Breathing chilled air
even with the suits, they could not spend more than an hour
inside the cave. The brothers were only able to reach the cave
because of the mining company had pumped all of the water out
of the mine. Out of that level of the mind, and the pumps were
eventually turned off. And the cave re flooded with groundwater
in 2015. Maybe scientists will be able to go back someday in
the future. Then it's a cool picture.
Yeah, the crystal cave. Go to the links in the show notes
under case corner. The the crystals in this cave are like,
ginormous.
I love how much time he puts into these.
I think great. We got we got the best. We got the best listeners
the best
I agree. And all the T's like different codes, so it can't be
printed. Wait, Chihuahua.
Hold on a second. Let me see what Wait, is it? Wait, let me
see. Oh, no, that's real. It's written. Handwriting is just
that good. Very good. I've got terrible handwriting. I write
different with different types of pens. I don't know if that's
normal. But I write very different depending on like, the
ink flow. And
I have a thing that I didn't realize that people didn't do.
Okay, so I was doing what was eating lunch today. And my
friends were like, What are you doing with your food? So like, I
will not eat the last few bites of something. I will eat all but
one bite is something see I'm the opposite. So like if I have
a burger, I'm eating it until the last bite leaves the last
bite on my plate or eating a tatertot I only eat half of it
because it's a two way thing. And I didn't realize it was
something that people didn't do.
Leaving the last bite. Yeah, leaving the last bite. I don't
leave the last bite.
Yeah, no one does.
I eat other people's last bites.
Maybe that's why No, I don't think
you know this. Yeah, when we go to like, we go like Andy's
full. It's just like
when you're done, don't eat it. Done when you're still hungry.
Yeah, like, I'll eat all but one bite of a burger. And I'm like,
I'm still hungry. What should I eat? But there's still a bite of
burger left. And I can't eat the bite of the burger, because
that's gross. I don't want you the last bite of a burger. Maybe
it's that thing that you taught me to like not drink the last
sip of coke. Because it's got spit all in it.
You spit in your coke?
No. Weirdo. I know. I know. I know. But like, I had, like a
little portion of a fish fillet. It was like a bite size big. And
I had like half so tater tots over my plate today. And my
friends were like, Why did you do that? That was like,
did you say none of your business? That's why I mind you
to stay on my personal affairs? No, so you don't eat you know, I
mean, I've noticed, I've noticed that you don't eat the last
button. When I was a kid. I was kind of weird. I was quite a
sickly child with my fingers. And I was very, very
underweight. I have made up for it in my adult ears. But I was
very underweight. I was like skin and bones. So they like
made me sit there until I finished every bite of my food.
Because I just didn't want to eat. So that kind of stuck with
me. And it took a while but I've gotten to where I can, you know,
I can leave a little bit on the plate. It's tough for me though.
Like just mentally because for so many of my formative years, I
was you know you better eat everybody that because I was so
underweight. They needed me to get the nutrition. So you know,
now I'm a little overweight. I'm doing better. I'm down 25 pounds
this year. So that's good. Probably up three from last
night at the fair because I ate it are ridiculous amount of
food.
I ate that entire
next as part as the pillar Service says in the chat next
time tell him this part has the pill and that's our dog. We can
hide a pill and food and he will it doesn't matter how hard we
try to hide it, he will eat everything except the pill.
Yeah, the only thing that's worked for us it's the pill
pockets that have like the the meaty stuff on the outside. So
he'll just swallow those. Yeah, it's
like a peanut butter flavored meaty, little hot pocket. You
can stick pills in for dogs, and they were they were pretty good.
You really got to, ya gotta get him going. So more cave stuff.
Okay, I like caves. Me too. We used to live in Texas. And we
would go to Carlsbad Caverns, which is right on the border of
Texas and New Mexico. And we would go to the floor. I can't
remember how many times we went. But we got to know the place
pretty well. It is this massive cave system. And there's huge,
huge formations of stalactites and stalagmites and all the
different cave formations you can get. And there's a room
called the big room. And there's where there's links in the show
notes for the pictures, the nps.gov. There's some really
good pictures in there. That site, Carlsbad Caverns, I
believe is how we've got it listed in the show notes. And if
you're in the chat room right now, I am posting a link to what
I'm looking at.
I've had a test everyday this week in math.
Oh yeah. So that's, that's a non sequitur. What? It means you
jump topics. Like how did you get there from where we're
segue?
Yeah. All right. Well, I don't want to rant about anything else
before going to the caves. So
we can chit chat after the show about that. Or we can talk about
it after we're done. I'm done talking about the, the gallery.
So caves have these formations of what's called stalactites and
stalagmites, and they're formed difference. They're formed by
water, with minerals in it flowing. And then the minerals
grab onto each other and just turn into these really almost
like alien looking formations. So why don't you tell us the
difference between a stalactite stalagmite
Okay, so if you take a if you take a stalactite, the word and
you take the tea, it's like, it's like a like a ceiling
fixture? Like a T. Top is the ceiling. Yeah, chandelier
hanging down. So that's like the that's the hanging down part of
this to loctite. And then we get this to like might like an M, so
like a mountain, but smaller. So you get a mountain and your
floor is a little like mine are there.
I always just did Stalag tights, t tau t top No, no,
no,
you gotta you gotta you gotta do it your way
to make it my way. It's like, okay, the vertical and
horizontal. How I Learned that is you take a V, and it's going
like up. So that's how I learned up and down. It's vertical. And
then if take an H for horizontal, it's the middle of
the H goes like this.
Like what?
Like the horizontal, like,
left or right audio only there kiddo left to right.
So I learned that that was horizontal. But I also know that
everyone else was taught it like horizon. Like the horizon is
straight across left and right. And I'm like, what?
So in the chat I have my own way of I go I go by the M like a
mine a mine is in the ground or on the is in the ground. You go
all kinds of steps. I always just did the T thing. The
capital T looks like the ceiling was something hanging from it.
Yeah, that's what I do. Yeah. So that explain that weird, right?
Because I'm bad at explaining.
So we like I said we used to go a lot when I was a kid and I
love going down there the air in a cave. It just is completely
different than the air anywhere else. You've never been in a
cabin. That nope, nope. We've got a couple here in North
Carolina. Oh, but But back to Carlsbad. There are so many
rooms in Carlsbad Caverns. I'm trying to find the list of lost
it. But you can. One of the cool things about Carlsbad is it's
not just a guided tour, you can go a self guided tour. You can
just kind of wander around in there. And it's completely pitch
black if they didn't light up, which is also really cool.
There's one of the caves that we went to here in North Carolina a
long time ago. They would take you you were in this one room
that used to be a bar like this Somebody went down there and
made a bar. And oh, while we were hanging out in that room,
and they were talking about it, they were like, Okay, everybody,
you know, don't freak out, everybody just stand still for a
minute. We're going to turn the lights off. And they flip the
lights off, and oh my gosh. Like, the darkness is just so
overwhelming and instant. Like it freaked us out. But they had
the bar down there. And one of the interesting things that they
said was people would go down there and have a drink or two or
more. And the altitude that you're at, affects how much the
alcohol affects you. So as a whole bunch of people would
would be okay down down in the cave. But as they went up the
stairs, they would start getting drunker and drunker then fall
back down the stairs. So that was an interesting fact. I
thought that was that was a neat, neat little story. But
there's a place in Carlsbad called the Temple of the Sun.
It's just this really cool looking dark room. And they've,
it's like everything is gray. And it's got this huge spike
that you can walk past and look at. There's a totem pole, which
is just, it's a stalagmite that goes all almost all the way to
the ceiling, and it's just very tall and then like an old totem
pole. A lot of these are very visual. So if you're if you
listen to our show on a podcasting 2.0 app with
chapters, there should be Drib gets to the show. When he gets
to it, it takes sometimes it takes a little time sometimes to
get them right up. So we appreciate drub doing the
chapters. And there should be some Carlsbad cavern art. Going
through the chapter images there. So,
so this website that I found, it's called like found out.com.
It's like a visual understanding. So like they have
a picture here. And you can press on parts of the picture.
Oh me, and I'll tell you what's out so like still like tights.
water dripping through the caves, roof leaves minerals
behind the form hanging stalactites. And if you click on
it again, it will have select heights. Select eyes look like
icicles made of rock. They can grow onto each other and make
new shapes or down to meet stalactites and form or
stalagmites and form a column of stalagmites. Let me get back to
it.
Be sure to grab that link for the show notes.
Yeah, well, when water with minerals in it drips into the
cave floor, so I might grow upward. So like might still like
might come in many shapes. This is this thick rounded type is
called a Stalag Matic boss. And so like mites can grow up to me.
So I typed growing down, they can join the middle to form a
column. So this is really cool site.
So it's a dk find out. Neat. I like I like interactive stuff
where you can actually click something and it does have just
a static picture where yeah,
it helps. Yeah, with me because my learning
you're a hands on kind of person. Yeah, get in the car and
drive. That's how you learn to drive. Yeah. Sir Spencer's
philosophy there. So in North Carolina, there are there's
quite a few caves in the mountains, North Carolina or
caverns. So the caves and caverns they both there. Five of
the big ones that a lot of people go to are the Lynnville
caverns. It's located inside the humpback mountains. It's a 4245
foot peak. It's in the hygge National Forest. You can get up
and do it go out, go out there and do a guided tour. You'll
learn everything about the caverns and take all kinds of
good photos. There's Boone's cave and Lexington North
Carolina Lexington I don't know what I've said there that's out
in Boone Cave Park it's 110 acre area lots of picnic areas and
all kinds of cool stuff to do. And Asheville salt cave we
almost went to the Asheville salt cave Do you remember that
we ran out of time. Last time we were in Asheville we ran out of
time. But they have you can go in and there's like a spa in the
salt cave because you know salted air is like kind of
supposed to be good for you. Because of the vibrations and
whatnot and breathing in the salt and and all that breathed
the salty air and let it work its magic. It's supposed to heal
heal ailments, skin problems, arthritis, things like that.
Science is out on that I believe rumbling bald case, I want to go
to all these and I think we need to win to plan a trip next year,
do a do a week long caving trip. What do you think? Yeah, that's
long fun. Yeah, I think we may have to do that. We'll take lots
of pictures. Lila can put them on our blog. You're gonna make a
blog? Yes. Okay. Blogs are cool. All right, guys. All right. So
did you have any more facts about caves? I've got a few from
Glenwood caverns Adventure Park website.
Yeah, sure.
You want me to go for it? Yeah. While caves are formed by the
action of acidic water, on Carest, a landscape of
limestone, dolomite and gypsum. Some are formed by lava tubes
from volcanoes or meltwater in glaciers. Number two, most caves
are oops sorry, most in most caves. The dissolving Carest
takes more than 100,000 years to make enough space for one
person. Ancient people were painting and painting patterns
and figures on cave walls more than 40,000 years ago,
scientists believe that Neanderthals might have painted
on caves in the Iberian Iberian Peninsula up to 64,000 years
ago. And a figure of an animal on Borneo more than 40,000 years
ago. Mayans built temples over caves, because they believed
that the caves were the entrance to the underworld, which I mean.
I mean, they are right because the underworld right
under the world Yeah,
yeah. Caves arthropod. Ooh, excuse me. arthropods, fish,
amphibians, and insects that have evolved to live in caves
are called troglodytes. The first tribal bite identified in
the 1700s was an eyeless white amphibian called an old Oh LM.
Some such as the Some, such as the subsearch. Some searches the
blonde Wolf, spider in Hawaii, the Devil's Hole, pup fish and
Death Valley and the Texas blind salamander are only found in one
location. I like salamanders. We had one in the garage the other
night. I almost ran over it. How dare you? Well, I just drove the
car into the into the or your mom's Jeep into the garage. And
when I got out, I looked back. And there was a salamander. I
was like, right behind the tire. I was like, oh, no, I ran over
his elevator. But then I went over to it. And it was like,
hey, and then ran off. And they wiggle they like they kind of
like flop when they're when they're moving. So there was a
the one that you were talking about. That was filled up with
water. From case letter.
That's actually the one right here. You're talking about?
What? The Cave of swords.
Oh, okay. Where am I? Yeah, go ahead. Where was I? I don't
know. arthropod salamander sulfur. Sulfur is the basis of
nearly all life forms and the quitter vote de Vela lose and
Mexico. Single celled organisms called snot ease they're called
snotty he's Lila. It's not as oxidized the solver from the
undergrad spring. Oh boy. Who humans have used caves for
shelter food storage, mushroom farming hideouts from the law
and many other activities. The Reed Flute Cave and China was an
air raid shelter during World War Two. We have an air raid
shelter. And up in Wilson. We do. Yeah, they've got some
nuclear fallout shelters out there too. Which is probably a
good idea since that nuclear bomb is buried in Wayne County.
Yeah, you know that story, right? The atom bomb. Yeah.
Yeah. I know.
We have to do a whole whole episode that maybe we'll go dig
it up. Yeah, we
dig it up. Take some pictures up, take
some pictures for your blog. Tick, tick boom. There's a live
active nuclear bomb underground and the county we live in. Like
it fell out of a plane. And like landed in the mud and sunk. And
they decided that it was best not to dig it up just to leave
it and build a fence around the area. Yeah, cuz that'll help.
That's that's the solution to that problem. of danger. Don't
go here. Don't worry, the world Don't worry about it. Nothing
good. Nothing good beyond here. Yeah anywho there's a there I
thought that there was, oh yeah, here it is. The caves in
paradise. Excuse me, Paradise glacier and Mount Rainier in
Washington are world famous, or world famous for most of the
20th century, I guess century. Doesn't say century. It just
says most of the 20th the caves disappeared as the glaciers
melted. And then some of the largest natural crystals ever
were found. This is the one from case letter found reformed and
wearable. Delos Christopoulos under 1000 feet under the Nikah
mountain and Mexico translucent gypsum beams, up to 2626 feet
long weighing 55 tons. Temperatures in the cave reach
138 degrees Fahrenheit. It's been reflooded since
exploration. That's what they're talking about. I think the water
from Mount Rainier glaciers went down and filled up. The Crystal
one that's what I think. I think the water just migrated. Right?
Yeah.
All right. And then last one on this site. 3 million wrinkle
lipped freetail bats live in Deer Cave in the mu National
Park, the island of Borneo, one of the world's largest known
cave passages. Carlsbad cavern, the one that I used to go to
want to say it has seven different species of bat living
in it. And it has typically around 700 700,000 bats in it.
Oh, wow, just love that. Yeah, that's not one in 700,000 of
them. It's like the Stranger Things like well, it's like that
song where they talk about 10 10 million fireflies
getting would not believe your eyes. Right. 10 million
fireflies lit up the world's we fell asleep. Right on by our
city called fireflies.
Yeah, it was everywhere for a little while. to it. My voice is
shot I have been to I have been talking on the phone. We've had
a lot of tech support calls. Last couple of days. I've been
on the phone like eight hours a day. Nine hours a day. And then
we went to the fair cool. And I was breathing and all that fair
dust and and other stuff. Whatever you breathe in a fair.
I forgot that people can scream. What do you mean? Like yesterday
there was so much screaming going on because it was the
fair. And I was like Good grief. Why? What are they doing? Yeah,
and I'm like, I never scream. But we're we're very once
yesterday.
Chill household. Me or mama don't have
any siblings. So I guess I don't really have a need to scream
right. You scream at chewy I scream at chewy like shut up.
What a dog doing? Yeah, he gets he gets annoying when he when he
wants to. Once a treat or something. He just sits there.
Mm
hmm. But yeah, so spend a day in chewy shoes. And chewy shoes.
Yeah,
well, you know,
it'd be super easy.
It would like lay around, eat something.
Wait for me to get home. Go out.
Pee go use the bathroom. Well, I guess not the bathroom, go use
the yard. Come back in lay around. But you know, he's like
