You know you're on Youtube too much when everytime a tornado outbreak happens in Texas, and the town Ballinger appears on a radar map, you can't help but think of Youtube ukulele apologies.
 
Thanks, Willie, and rest well now.

 
Good Monday morning!

There might be more surreal and fun videos coming out of the national parks these days, but an underwater wild-bear shimmy interspersed with schools of Alaskan salmon swimming very purposefully past the camera for reasons that only they know will do, yes it will. :)



In case you haven't come across it yet, the Explore link in this video can take you to live cams of bears trying to catch leaping salmon on the Brooks River in Katmai National Park. There is a fan page with info about individual bears, too.
 
Just had an experience of why AI answers to search questions shouldn't be trusted overly much. I googled how to make a normal saline solution, and the AI responded: use 1 cup of water and 1 teaspoon of noniodized salt. (Spoiler: Do not do this.)

That seemed rather extreme (only a medical transcription background but this is pretty basic), plus I only follow authoritative sources when checking something out online. I clicked the link after that AI answer and got Michigan Medical's advice to use a ratio of 4 cups of water and 2 teaspoons noniodized salt -- plus vital advice on clean technique, how long the solution is good, a number to call with questions, etc.

AI does make searches easier, particularly when I'm researching a volcano for posts, but it is not foolproof!

How it got 1 cup/1 tsp out of 4 cups/2 tsp, I don't know.
