Hole Punch Cloud.
Per Wikipedia:
A fallstreak hole (also known as a cavum,[1] hole punch cloud, punch hole cloud, skypunch, cloud canal or cloud hole) is a large gap, usually circular or elliptical, that can appear in cirrocumulus or altocumulus clouds. Such holes are formed when the water temperature in the clouds is below freezing, but the water, in a supercooled state, has not frozen yet due to the lack of ice nucleation. When ice crystals do form, a domino effect is set off due to the Bergeron process, causing the water droplets around the crystals to evaporate: this leaves a large, often circular, hole in the cloud.[2]
A baby blue whale is born 7 meters long and weighing between 5 and 7 tons.
Its mothers milk is 50% fat and has the consistency of toothpaste. It drinks around 225 liters of it a day and gains weight at a rate of around 3.7 kilos per hour.

Dude! Imagine the caloric intake needs of a breastfeeding blue whale.
My new thing: the sloped area before a wave break / flood wall is called a revetment. It's not very effective unless it's boulders or has a recurved flood wall.
I learned that my neighbor behind my house is named Paul and does not like how tall my hedge is.
He learned several things:
- An 8' tall hedge is within the 12' city limit.
- He will now have to look at an 11' 10" tall hedge as I will not cut it but let it grow taller.
- Being passive aggressive with me does not work to his advantage
I learned that Fiat made a jeep/land rover competitor called the AR 76 Campagnola. Now I want one.
For the past week, I've been learning (more like trying to understand) G code. We got a new CNC machine at work, that replaced one that used a different language, so now I have to teach myself how to program it.
