but we live in an area with bats, rats, raccoons, nutria (giant rat beavers that used to be hunted for their fur until PETA pushed anti fur campaigns. Now they eat our houses.), aligators, cats, birds, you name it
Welcome to spring in Texas. Cold season spanned 2? 3? months and its getting warm again. Be on the look out for giant river rats, rednecks, and rattlers.
Yesterday, while watching a streamer, I learned something cool about the Eiffel Tower. The 72 names engraved on the Eiffel Tower belong to French scientists, engineers, and mathematicians who supported the building process. These golden letters are located on the first level (the lowest platform) of the tower, just beneath the balcony that runs around the structure.
Other things I learned about it: The stairs only go up to the 2nd floor. After that you have to take an elevator. The original spiral staircase was sold for scrap.
