In years to come, the people who did this will be the ones who will go to jail.

The worst catastrophes of history are caused by men who are malevolent, ignorant, and have exceptional wills.

After nearly four weeks of burning, the fires in Los Angeles are  fully contained. But as the dust literally settles, people in LA are left with questions like: What is actually in the ash? What’s in the air? And how do I stay safe?

I looked up what a group of Blue Jays is called, which is a "party" or "band." So here is a party of Blue Jays. (They do seem to like partying it up and causing a ruckus. I could see "a ruckus of Blue Jays" as a group name working too.)

A white pigeon with black spots sitting in a loaf position in front of an approximately one foot tall mirror. The pigeon is sitting on a floral rug and appears to be very content.

A white pigeon with black spots in a gray pet transport kennel. The kennel is closed and sitting inside a larger wire pet crate, which is covered in plastic netting. There is a white towel on the floor of the kennel, and another white towel on the floor of the larger crate. The towels have many different small seeds of varying sizes scattered across them.

Glad to be able to transport this lovely pigeon to his new forever home!
