10 years ago a young #MountainLion crossed two freeways and began a life in Griffith Park, a semi-wild area in the hills of #LosAngeles. #P22 became a trail-cam celebrity, outlived life expectancy for wild pumas and inspired a #wildlife bridge across the 101.
Waning health prompted biologists to bring him in for a checkup, but he was hit by a car first. Injuries & chronic illness were too much for him to survive in a sanctuary, and he’s been euthanized.

In the process of disentangling connected accounts from the birdsite, stumbled on #IntenseDebate. I’m not sure I’ve seen a site using them for comments in years.

Unusual photos of Martian landscapes from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter
Nice small collection of unusual photos of Martian landscapes from Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter at Daily Overview. I don’t know what the blue triangle thing is.

I’d like to think we can all agree on this, at least.

Yesterday’s California power demand vs. forecast graph & how effective the 3pm Flex Alert was
Fascinating to look at yesterday’s California power demand vs. forecast graph & how effective the 3pm Flex Alert was at getting people to reduce power usage during peak hours. (That forecast demand peak was very close to the forecast supply peak.)
