    Actually I may be mixing up two different species.

    Comments above referred to these, which were smaller and not quite the same configuration?

  3. Found these near a beaver pond. Haven't had a chance to key them out yet...

    Also a good example of using yourself as a sun shade to help bring out the colors!

  5. Terrible Invasive Story 🙁

    I had a real treat the other day when a Green Tree Frog visited me in the hot tub. I used to see these almost every day, but no more. Spring used to bring a cacophony of frogs chirping, but no more.

    The reason is "The Beast" aka the #Invasive #CubanTreeFrog which EATS OTHER TREE FROGS! They are huge and toad-like. I kill them when I find them, but the battle is already lost where I live in north #Florida.

    As you can see from the #Map, these invaders are moving north and are now #Endemic in my area (red circle). 👎

    True story…

    I had a 50ish patient with new acute #backpain superimposed on, but different from, long-standing chronic back pain. On #history and #exam they had NEW lower extremity neurologic findings. I ordered an #MRI, which was the appropriate next step at the time.

    I was forced to spend two evenings on hold for something like 20-30min for "pre-authorization"… two because they hung up on me the first time. I had to re-type a 20 digit code three times as they redirected me internally… finally spoke to the "physician in authority" and… HE READ MY OWN CHART BACK TO ME!! … then blithely approved the study. <insert swear words here!>

    This is my Exhibit A for #HealthInsurance #malfeasance. (A complete waste of my time and that was the point! Unethical, and should be illegal.) Ironically I had a very conservative approach to imaging. That was probably the first new study I had ordered for back pain in months.

    2/2 #HandHygiene #HandWashing

    It is important to note… "Use of #antibacterial soap showed little added benefit compared with use of nonantibacterial #soap."

    Take home: There is NO need to add antibacterial agents to soap for basic #InfectionControl at home or in public places. More important that that you "just DO it" [wash your hands] than choosing a brand/formula of soap.

    …and...

    "Hand hygiene is clearly effective against #gastrointestinal and, to a lesser extent, #respiratory infections."

    Take home: This makes sense! #GI #infections are typically "fecal/oral" (I don't have to go into what that means!). The hands are the most likely route of infection. Wash them!

    #Influenza can be transmitted by touching surfaces. #COVID19 less so. So again the above makes sense.

    Hope this Helps!

  12. For anyone interested in #ecology, specifically #FireEcology, here is a little #simulation I created several years ago...

    It is also a good example of using a #hexagonal grid on a #web page.

  13. The Legend of Hell House is a 1973 British horror flick written by Richard Matheson, based on his fine novel Hell House.

    The film concerns a scientific investigation of a haunting.

    One of the very best haunted house movies ever made. A superb example of subtle intelligent horror.
