There was a tornado about 3 miles from here yesterday.
We had big black clouds, heavy rain and hail and big wind.
No big damage here so it was just fun to watch. I spent the day picking up leaves and branches.

Rubik's Cube,
There are some videos out there that show a pattern, when followed, solve the Rubik's cube. Are they valid?

Yes. It’s all algorithms. They even published some back in the 80s when it first came out.

Yea I was able to do the cube quite easily years ago. I’ve since forgotten all the moves.

I could reliably beat two minutes at age 12-13.
At the Rubik’s cube, that is.

This is the day that Sweden switched from driving on the left side to the right side.
The government commissioned a catchy song to help prepare people.

The largest eagle in the world is Steller's Sea Eagle (Haliaeetus pelagicus), which weighs 5-9 kg (11-20 lb) and has a wing-span of 2.2-2.45 m (7 ft 2 in-8 ft 0.3 in). Although it breeds mainly in Russia it has also been located in Korea and Japan. In Russia this eagle is a protected species and in Japan is considered a national symbol.
