Remember despite anything politically we had/have a pandemic, ran out names for storms, murder hornets, and firenadoes among other things.

I don't want to know if things can get more weird
 
Food for children's book authors? The 75-foot Christmas tree destined for Rockefeller Center this year came from the Oneonta area not far from here. Trussed up like a turkey before being cut and lowered by a crane onto a flatbed for hauling to NYC, it had a stowaway saw-whet owl discovered at destination. They are one of the smallest species of owl in the USA - fully grown it's 2.5oz (70 grams).

It's been cared for up in Saugerties at a wildlife rehab center and will be released there Saturday since no need to take it back upstate, they are nomadic except when breeding. Totally cute little guy... they X-rayed it, no broken bones so just fed and watered it and will make a "soft release" of it to a platform with a few mice on it on Saturday, in case his first night out on his own doesn't prove good hunting.

Sure this scenario has unfolded during the coronavirus in other than avian species..

That was amazing! It also proved that through the years I have read and watched way too much science fiction, and only know the names of video games.
Watching it was also a reminder that these large ships are fictional - the sizes of some of them are quite hilarious.
 
Well, size is one thing, but the whole bit about scrith (the ringworld material) stops 40% of neutrinos was just off the charts.
