    The horns aren't the weird part -- the squishy enclosures are the weird part.

    Big horns can be very nice.
    There are some very fine ones nowadays.

    They sounded great. It is a somewhat lively acoustic space, though, yes.

    meanwhile, back in the USA...
    Now ain't that America, to you and me
    Ain't that America, somethin' to see, baby
    Ain't that America, home of the free
    Little pink houses for you and me
    For you and me

    (actually the house is that same cream-ish color of the sugarhouse -- and that charming moose and cross motif was there when they bought the place :p)

    Not the avians we were expecting at the bird feeder............

    Actually, we're wondering what to do about these chickens, They have wandered into our back yard over the past few days, They appear to be well fed and are beautiful birds, Must have escaped from somewhere. Trying to figure out who to call.

    The last time I was in Maui (March 2018), there were chickens all in the airport area.

    They look like they may be a little more gourmet than that.

    Can anyone identify this? Perhaps the ever resourceful @mhardy6647? It was found crawling up my arm on the patio earlier today.

    [emphasis added]

    so... 5.5 lbs = 2.5 kg (i.e., 2500g).

    By Einstein's equation:

    E = m * c^2 = (2.5 kg) (3 x 10^9 m/sec)^2 = 2.25 x 10^19 kg-m^2/sec^2 = 2.25 x 10^19 Joules

    2.25 x 10^19 J = 4588 megatons of TNT (4.588 gigatons)

    B)


    (of course, you would have to convert all of him into energy, which is somewhat impractical... but... yeah, a lot of energy!)

    (most likely) it's a Bolo spider, part of the orb Weaver group.
