    I saw that along with an extended series of other animal encounters. I suspect they are all AI generated. One of the series has a bear come up to the porch with a cat on it's back. Another had a mountain lion getting scared away. No way that is all happening.

    My wife thinks AI is getting out of hand. I showed her a video of a wife making a sandwich for her husband, and she told me to go make it myself. :D

    David Attenborough voiceover:
    Protective colouration is an evolutionary advantage. Like a herd of zebras at the watering hole, when a flock of these airplanes gather at an airport, they're protected from bites from parasitic flies by their bold stripes. Refreshed with fuel, passengers, and trays of tasteless snacks, the plucky 'planes are free to go on about their travels without taking ill from the effects of tsetse flies and other vermin.

    Saw this today @ hifihaven.

    I found it amusing for two very different reasons.
    1) the joke.
    2) the careful mutilation of the C word so that the (perhaps AI-powered) bots keeping an eye out for bad words on the internet cannot recognize it.
    B)
    Unfortunately, I think that AI is probably just playing games with us to lull us into a false sense of... umm... security. Kind of like the way a cat plays with a fresh-caught mouse. :#

    Saw this one @ ASR, too... for some reason, it's reminding me of somebody here... I just cannot think of whom...

    One of America's great bridges. This photo was taken 4 years ago during fall. What a great trip!

    I think you might have gotten it. Most of my exploration of the Blue Ridge Parkway has been on the stretch between 441/Cherokee and 276/Pisgah.
