My Random facts

Most of the movie "Due Date" with robert downey JR was filmed in my city, everything from the highway police chase to the car falling off the bridge, they closed down that part of the highway for a few weeks and we saw it all from my friends house!

A lot of movies from star wars (hoth) and independence day, transformers, year one, were all filmed a few miles outside of my city as well, some of my friends have been extras in more recent movies like year one.

My random fact:

One time in 2008 John Mcain came to a neighboring town and I happened to be there. To keep up appearances the republican party workers were looking for a number of people of different races and cultures. I just happened to be in town that day and they tracked me down and asked me to sit up there. I agreed since it was 90 degrees in october and there was shade and a place to sit haha. It was funny the guy looking for people was telling his workers we need more mexicans hahahah sure enough I got to be up there

I'm the dark guy on the left

In his first year of college at age 17, Edgar Allen Poe gambled away all of his scholarship aid, and often showed up in class drunk-even during examinations. In spite of his slovenly behavior, Edgar had the highest
grades in his class.

Because whales must rise to the surface often to breathe, only one half of their brain sleeps at a time. This process allows their body to get adequate rest while still providing for the necessary function of breathing to survive.

Got a lot of geese on your course this time of year?
Molting is the term that is given to the 8-10 week flightless period when Canada geese shed their outer wing feathers and regrow new ones. Molting occurs between mid-June through August. Most birds are able to resume flight by mid-August.
During this molting period geese will gather on ponds or lakes since they provide a safe resting place and security from predators. During the molting period, Canada geese do major damage to landscape as they congregate on lawns near water.
Geese without young will sometimes travel hundreds of miles to the security of favored molting areas in the north. These “molt migrations” account for the disappearance of local goose flocks in early June.
