When acorns or pine nuts are available, fox squirrels are very busy harvesting as many as they can find and storing them by burying them in the ground. Many acorns and nuts are infested with bugs and will not store well. These infested seeds are detected by the squirrel’s keen sense of smell and thrown away or eaten right away. The ones that are clear of bugs are selected for storage.

I still have Grandfather’s candlestick phone from 1913. I’ve seen a phone booth in Aberdeen WA, but I don’t know if it has a phone in it or not. I’ll have to stop and look one of these days. Gone are the payphones of old, but also gone is the Red Box. I remember when a phone call was a dime in New Jersey, then it went up to 20 cents, then a quarter. That was over 30 years ago. Man, now I feel old.

The decline of malls is not due to too much of a new thing, but rather too much of the same thing. According to Cowen and Company’s research analysts, the number of shopping malls in the United States grew more than twice as fast as the population between 1970 and 2015. In Central New York, after Shoppingtown in DeWitt became enclosed in 1975, two more large-scale malls — Great Northern and Carousel Center — opened fewer than 15 years later.

Flying fish was the subject of the PBS series “Trails to Tsukiji.” Our Swedish host traveled to Hachijojima, a volcanic island near Tokyo. I have been mesmerized by flying fish sailing through the air next to the ferry as we motored to Ocracoke Island North Carolina. In Japan, flying fish is a seasonal delicacy. The marine acrobats are fried, made into sushi, fishballs, soups, served with ramen noodles. Even the roe (eggs) is well-liked. Sixty-four species of flying fish live in the oceans; fish with one set of large fins and others with two sets (they fly further). The fish can remain airborne for nearly a minute rising 20 feet above the ocean traveling a distance over 1,000 feet at speeds over 40 mph. You have to admire this fish, not eat it.

The fact is that Encarnacion and Jay Bruce don’t fit what the Mariners are doing and could be dealt at any time along with other veterans. The Mariners hope that some of these rookies we’re watching in February and March are knocking on the big-league door in June and July.
