Do bison take naps? Bison graze in the morning, rest, ruminate (chew cud) in the middle of the day, and then graze again in the evening. Same. They may doze lightly while standing, but they will sit down for a deeper sleep. Learn more Bison habits at

Climate change is real. It’s bringing unprecedented storms. Driving through flooded roads isn’t cute. Dogs are dying. It’s past time to support flood mitigation programs. Sincerely, a former comms officer for a flood mitigation program physically ill from this report.
Several pets drowned as a dog day care flooded again in Northeast D.C. during Monday afternoon’s severe storms. “It’s hard to watch; it’s unbearable,” D.C. Fire and EMS Chief John Donnelly said. https://t.co/tgbMUixGXG

This is a fascinating topic that I’ve seen pop up all over the place recently: Reducing minimum parking requirements can help alleviate storm water runoff. All you, @DrainALX!
washingtonpost.com
Fairfax County is considering a plan to revamp minimum parking requirements for the first time in 35 years in the hope of reshaping the county's landscape over homeowner groups' concerns.

IT’S BARBIE DAY!!! 💅🏽🎀💄👛💓
It’s @Barbie’s world, and we’re all just living in it! @Mattel's universe has long been protected intellectual property. The patent for the doll’s construction granted to inventor J.W. Ryan in 1961 also protects Midge and Ken. Barbie's trademark was registered in 1959.
