Have read about elephants having a keen sense of smell and that some bats navigate using polarized light. There was also an article about whether or not dogs were really jealous of other dogs. Now back to mammoths and mastodons. Just got back from the Mammoth region and did not see any of the creatures there. It seems that the two species had different eating habits.Mammoths were grazers eating more grass and mastodons ate branches and leaves. And it seems they didn’t roam around much. That made me feel a bit better. Also the San Diego Zoo announced the birth of a rare Black Rhino. I don’t think there has been a study of whether or not there was jealousy display among or between the mammoths and mastodons. And it’s good to know that all bats aren’t blind.

From the New York times comes an article that states that qcetaminophen is no better than a placebo for back pain. I was interested as for the first time in my 75+ years I tweaked my back a few weeks ago. The article did state that patients who thought it worked should keep taking it. Next week there may be a new study saying how great it is. Am not sure what “tweaked” means but it didn’t feel good. President Putin gave a 4 hour domestic speech or interview where he spoke of a Russia that included much of the Ukraine including Odessa. There is an Odessa in west Texas but I don’t think he meant that or the nearby Midland. Keep safe and have a great Wednesday evening or perhaps a great Thursday morning.
