This war, long desired by Israel and achieved because Trump is Netanyahu’s b***h, is affecting the entire world, including our own farmers. Pure insanity.

Beautiful Amal, our Egyptian Arabian mare, was euthanized yesterday, surrounded by people who loved her. She was born almost 12 years ago, extremely premature, and UC Davis featured her on the cover of their veterinary magazine a year later, as she progressed into the fiery redhead beauty she was. Sadly, she experienced an onset of full seizures, and I had to make that agonizing decision. Seizures in horses are very different from seizures in humans or small animals. Blessings on you, Amal, run free in the Sky Kingdom with your herd.

Wow!

This is fascinating! The twin hurricanes in the Atlantic are moving away from the US, but the migrating birds are using the power of that wind to their advantage. The NEXRAD radar network (Doppler Radars In The US operated by the National Weather Service) showed about 492 million birds were in flight overnight and they were moving toward the southwest at about 30 mph just 1,200 feet above the ground. The low level winds are moving from the northeast to the southwest for most of the eastern part of the country. That is mostly due to the twin hurricanes in the Atlantic. Winds move counterclockwise around areas of low pressure. Since Hurricane Humberto is located northeast of Hurricane Imelda, those winds are out of the northeast and moving to the southwest in the migration zones. So once the birds take flight, they can glide in the right direction with lower effort than normal.
