Hopefully this is the last one (fleeing that other place)...anyway! History, birds, travel, genealogy. Technically a lawyer.

Lol. Lmao even. I can barely afford ground beef, but sure, I'll buy backup plane tickets for my family of four
Frontier Airlines's CEO Barry Biffle offered advice to ensure passengers make it to their destinations in a LinkedIn post. “Given the risk of flights cancelling I would suggest passengers buy a backup ticket on another carrier that departs after the first ticket," he wrote. "That way if your flight cancels you have an immediate backup."

So we had this chair when I was growing up. Never knew anything about it except "it had to stay in the family". We sat on it whenever, didn’t think twice... #genchat (1/2)
Ornate dark wooden chair with a carved back like a Norse god

You might enjoy The Concierge at Hokkyoku Department Store (animated movie and I think a manga). It's about a fancy mall where extinct and endangered animals shop. I imagine a Carolina Parakeet may be one (although I don't think this bird from the trailer is it)
Movie poster for The Concierge showing various animals dressed up as customers in a fancy mall with the concierge in a blue outfit center front. Screenshot from movie The Concierge showing a bird dressed up (don't think it's a Carolina Parakeet but it does look like some type of parakeet)

Silhouette time! Quetzal in Costa Rica #birds
Silhouette of a quetzal on powerlines against a blue sky lightening up at dawn. Silhouettes of trees line the entire bottom of the photo. All colors in the photo are black and shades of blue.

I can't find my favorite one (was an old colonial one with a little poem about the guy once being alive and how the people reading it would one day be dead too like him), but this George De Long one is impressive and one I visited frequently.
Photo of Arctic Explorer George De Long's grave. It is a lifesized near white colored stone carving of him in his explorer's clothes looking lost (the stone behind his figure gives the impression of blowing snow and his arm is positioned across his forehead like he's looking for something he can't see).
