they're known to carry the flea that has the bubonic plague, or black death. my cousins and I killed them by the hundreds in the horse and cattle pastures on my grandfather's ranch. they taught us all how to shoot like gunslingers with our .22's over 60 years ago. of course most parents now would be horrified about the idea of grade school kids running around loose with deadly weapons, which seemed perfectly normal to us.

Morning...yes I have heard that..

They are the equivalent to the rabbits here..we shoot them, developed mozzies to kill them etc etc..and are still in plague numbers all over the country...

We use to go ferreting didn't even put a dent in the numbers unfortunately...

I frequently mention an editing app called Picsart that I can’t recommend enough because it is so powerful.  I’ve been exploring the AI capabilities in the app and it takes that power to a whole new level.

I took this photo of some architectural stonework while on vacation.  The other two iterations are from AI.  It took about one second to generate each one, which I then enhanced with the other tools a bit.  Insane.

Check out this iteration of another meme I made a while ago (with Trump and Jesus).  This is what it came up with when the skeleton option was used.

Here's a link to the image creator – Bing Image Creator

Type something in the white box that says "Describe what you'd like to create", and see what it comes up with. It's kind of fun. 

Happy Halloween!

Thanks, Kavika.  It was a very beautiful moon this weekend.  I was in rural, central Virginia with no clouds or light pollution.  Wished I had thought to take a photograph.
