A Child’s Apology Letter To Park For Breaking Twigs
In a moving letter a child wrote apologizing for breaking a rare Twig in Yosemite National Park.
As Adults we are too proud to admit our mistakes,in the process lose happiness..
Wish we remain Children.
”
This kid note submitted to Reddit by user and self-proclaimed Yosemite National Park Ranger bestmattever, shows the dismay of a young child named Evie, who wrote the letter with two sticks attached because the child knew they were “not supposed to take things from the park.”
The humanity! To the Yosemite National Park gulag with Evie! Those are irreplaceable one-of-a-kind twigs.
But Park Ranger Bestmattever is endeavoring to live up to his Reddit username, and there will be no gulag for little Evie.
“I sent her a nice letter and an extra Junior Ranger badge. I told her how impressed we all were, and how we hung up her letter in our office so we could show others how great our Junior Rangers like Evie are,” he said in a comment on the thread.( Huffington Post).

Last week, Google released an architectural rendering of its next headquarters: a 1.1 million square-foot corporate campus located across town from the existing “Googleplex” in Mountain View, California. You can zoom and explore the high-resolution rendering here. In the architect’s imagination, the forthcoming “Bay View” complex will provide ample ways to exercise, such as rooftop scooter-riding, jogging, biking, and yoga class. There will also be a perfect space for reflecting on the meaning of existence. And employees who never want to leave can pitch a tent and stay the night.

‘Watch-gator’ Alligator Guards Marijuana
We have heard of Watchdogs, guarding.
But Alligators?
Yes, Alligators were found to be watching and guarding a stash of marijuana in California and Police stumbled on it.
Criminals are always a se p ahead of not only the law but innovations as well.
Leaping Alligator Story:
Authorities in Northern California made a snappy discovery during a routine probation check: An alligator-like reptile named “Mr. Teeth,” who was apparently protecting a stash of marijuana.
When Alameda County Sheriff’s deputies entered the Castro Valley home on Tuesday, they not only found 34 pounds of marijuana valued at an estimated $100,000, but also the 5-foot-long caiman inside a Plexiglas tank guarding it in a bedroom.
Caimans are usually found in the wetland regions of Central and South America. They’re considered close relatives of alligators.
“We get guard dogs all the time when we search for grow houses and people stashing away all types of dope. But alligators? You just don’t see that every day,” Sgt. J.D. Nelson said Thursday.
Assif Mayar was arrested on suspicion of possessing marijuana for sale. He could also face citations from the California Fish and Game Commission, including possession of an exotic animal without a permit.
The 32-year-old told deputies he got the creature to commemorate rapper Tupac Shakur’s 1996 death.
“We have come across alligators before, but nobody can remember one this big and situated in such close proximity to act sort of as a sentry to the marijuana,” Nelson said.
Officials at the Oakland Zoo said Mr. Teeth died Wednesday, a day after it was seized by county animal control officers.

Racetrack Playa Moving Rocks No Convincing Explanation Video
The moving Rocks remain a mystery till date.
The explanations offer include
Landsat image of Racetrack Playa. It is the flat white area in the center of the image.(click for more detail) they are moved by the wind
“This is the favorite explanation. The prevailing winds that blow across Racetrack Playa travel from southwest to northeast. Most of the rock trails are parallel to this direction. This is strong evidence that wind is the prime mover or at least involved with the motion of the rocks.
Strong wind gusts are thought to nudge the rocks into motion. Once the rock begins to move a wind of much lower velocity can keep the rock in motion as it slides across the soft and very slippery mud. Curves in the rock trails are explained by shifts in wind direction or in how the wind interacts with an irregularly shaped rock.”
There are places in the world that have stronger winds and no such movement of Rocks are reported from there.
moved by Ice
“A few people have reported seeing Racetrack Playa covered by a thin layer of ice. One idea is that water freezes around the rocks and then wind, blowing across the top of the ice, drags the ice sheet with its embedded rocks across the surface of the playa.
Some researchers have found highly congruent trails on multiple rocks that strongly support this movement theory. However, the transport of a large ice sheet might be expected to mark the playa surface in other ways – these marks have not been found.
Other researchers experimented with stakes that would be disturbed by ice sheets. The rocks moved without disturbing the stakes. The evidence for ice-sheet transport is not consistent.”
This also does not wash as there are more places with the same condition and no report of Rock movements.
