I am home with about 70 pieces of mail and flyers and food in frig to throw away. I sleep to noon tomorrow.
I really enjoy a laptop I make to many mistakes trying to type on a cell phone! I notice late teens and twenty somethings type on their phones and I noticed that their fingers are much thinner then many older and elderly folks. Might have something to do with the evolutionary development of fingers and hands through consistent use of a new tool...a cell phone.
P.S.: We have two new Pandas in the USA located at the National Zoo on loan from China.
Two giant pandas from China have landed in Washington, marking the first time the US capital has welcomed a new set of furry diplomats from Beijing in 24 years. The FedEx cargo plane dubbed “Panda Express,” carrying Bao Li 宝力 (pronounced BOW-lee)
Male
Born Aug. 4, 2021 and Qing Bao 青宝 (pronounced ching-BOW)
Female
Born Sept. 12, 2021, both 3 years old, landed at Washington Dulles Airport at 9:53 a.m. Tuesday.2 days ago
In Mandarin Chinese, "Bao" means 'precious' and 'treasure'. "Li" refers to vitality and strength. Put together, "Bao Li" means an active and vital power.
Her name means 'green' and 'treasure' in Mandarin Chinese. 'Qing' evokes the lush and mountainous habitat of pandas. 'Bao,' which means 'precious' and 'treasure,' reflects how cherished and adored she is.
How much does the National Zoo pay China for the pandas?
$1 million
The two pandas are loaned to the Smithsonian's National Zoo for 10 years, with an annual fee of $1 million to support conservation efforts back in China. While born in Sichuan, Bao Li has deep familial roots in Washington.3 days ago
Large Pandas can eat 70 to 100 lbs of bamboo a day!!!!
