A memory jogging poem

From time to time there are various little poems that help people remember things.

Our DIT today is a famous example.

Here it is:

        30 days hath September
        April June and November

        all the rest have 31

        except February alone which has 28

And since today is February 28, we thought this was an appropriate DIT.

No click through today -- just think about this little memory jogger.

Another thought about the Northernmost town in the world

Yesterday we viewed what is often called the Northernmost town in the world.

But there are some other candidates for the 'title'.

Today's short video will explain and add more details.

So, let's continue our vicarious travels around the world.

As a head's up, however, know that you can stop watching the video at about 5 minutes 11 seconds because the rest of the video is a commercial.  Up until then, you will see and hear some interesting facts.

So with that by way of introduction and 'warning' --

HERE'S THE LINK to Whats the Northernmost Town in the world?




 

The Northernmost town on earth

There are several cities and towns that are realllllly far north. 

Among these is Ny-Ålesund and the town we will be visiting in today's DIT.

In fact, according to some --The four northernmost towns are all located in Norway, the farthest of which is Ny-Ålesund in Svalbard, a Norwegian archipelago. ... which includes Longyearbyen and other small places.

Interestingly, some DITers have actually been to these places.

Hopefully they will check in to DIT today and have a trip down memory lane.

For the rest of the DIT visitors, you will find this place unusual and interesting.

Young Eagle Learns how to fly

It is apparently that time of the year when baby eagles are starting to bravely leave their nest and learn to fly.

I have been watching the SW Florida Eagle Cam for several weeks and have seen the two babies grow from hatching to a point where they look like the eaglet in today's click through.

This video is produced by BBC (and is not of the SW Florida eagles) but the 'star' of the video looks like the two I have watching and will soon leave their nest

and this is likely very similar to what they will experience.

The Seventh Day

Why?

Places on earth you are not allowed to visit

Today's click through is realllllly interesting.

Many DITers are world travellers

but since these places are off limits, this can be a vicarious experience.

The "you can't visit" location in Chili, however, might need to be reconsidered, however, as I know some DIT'ers who have been there and returned alive.

And I am sad that we can no longer view the cave drawings in France.  That was on my bucket list.  Sigh.

Anyway -- check out these places.
