Kitties eat greens sometimes to help them throw up hairballs.

I wasn't sure where to post this but since it's cool. (For me anyway.

)

Fresh off the press:

"2023’s poll was conducted between Dec. 1-20, 2023, and asked Americans to rank 23 professions. The results placed nurses above medical doctors as the most trusted profession. 78% of Americans ranked nurses as trustworthy based on the Gallup poll scale of “very high, high, average, low or very low.”

Nurses secured the top spot, with a 13-point lead over veterinarians, who landed in second place with only a 65% approval rating. Medical doctors, previously in second place in 2022, dropped to fifth place, trailing nurses by a significant 22 points, with only 56% of Americans considering them the most trustworthy. Among the top 5 professions, all were in the medical field except for engineers."

Also telling, but not surprising, is the bottom of the list.

Seems right though perhaps those numbers are a little high…

That's skill. And tons of patience. And sometimes it's "staged." There are places you can go where a trained bird of prey is let loose to fly around while a dozen or so photogs take pics. Or in the case of "fishing" eagles, there is someone with a catapult (I kid you not) launching dead fish out into the water, so the eagles take advantage of the easy meals while a long line of photographers grab their shots.

NOTE: I'm not saying Steve Woods used any such service. But they do exist.

Went out for a boat ride in the St. Petes' area and grabbed these with my phone.
