Amazing Animal Sleep Schedules........

* Thrushes take hundreds of power naps a day, a few seconds at a time, in midflight.

* Otters sleep floating on their backs, sometimes holding paws with their friends so they don't drift apart.


* Giraffes sleep only 20 minutes a day, often curled up with their heads nestled on their own rumps.


* Brow bats, on the other hand, sleep 19 hours a day - upside down.

* But nobody beats the desert snail, which has been recorded sleeping for 4 years at a time.

Americans over the age of 40 are the only citizens with even the dimmest adult memories of the presidency of George H.W. Bush.....[So] close to 100 million eligible voters have no firsthand recollection of a time when things worked in Washington. That might be a starting point for understanding the crippling cynicism that hangs over contemporary politics.

All selfies are photos. Not all photos are selfies..........

I held a camera and took a photo of myself. That is a selfie.
I took a photo of myself and two friends. That is a selfie..also called a groupie.
I set the self-timer on a camera and stepped back 5 feet, and it took my photo. That's in the selfie family but isn't a pure selfie. Consider it a self-portrait.

I used a selfie stick to take a photo of myself. That is a selfie.
I used a 300-foot selfie stick to take a photo of myself but because of the distance, I am barely visible. Still a selfie.

I took a photo of my soul mate as she gazed into my eyes. We feel we are one. We are the same person, the same self. Great, not a selfie.
