As much as that is preferable, that's not the Federal holiday. As noted below, there is nothing listed for Oct 14.
I have the "HOLIDAYS" calendar loaded for the US in the Proton Calendar app but Oct 14, Columbus Day isn't included. I know it's a contentious "holiday" but it's still listed as a Federal Holiday and should be included.

They can last a while in there. I used my shop vac for spotted lantern flies. They didn't die.

No one else heard it so, doesn't tick the boxes.
The homeowner said the damage happened just after it felt like an earthquake shook the house.

It's not "finders keepers". In this case, the owner was identifiable. There are laws in most states that require you report found valuables or cash and make an effort to find the owner. It's at least a misdemeanor if you don't.

This was not a new photo, as noted. The photo was apparently with the Centre for Fortean Zoology and they determined it was NOT genuine.

We should remember that it's a mistake to judge other cultures by our 21st century Western standards. Education is the key to stopping it. Humans have terrible trouble attributing bad outcomes to chance; we need to blame someone. Witch accusations remain a social problem in several places worldwide.

The molecule has been found in space, but that doesn't mean it couldn't also have formed on earth pretty easily. This article has not been peer reviewed so, I don't think it boosts the idea of panspermia very much.

Ha. I thought the same thing. Dogs don’t like “spa day”.

This is a rural area, the houses are very far apart. He was aiming for it, but hit a drainage ditch and became airborne. If he hit the ground floor, it could have been tragic rather than just so bizarre.

The state wants to ban all mention of gender and sexuality in schools because they don’t think children need to learn about that (even though that’s real life). Sexual and gender issues are a necessary part of the AP psych curriculum, therefore, teachers cannot teach the complete course without facing legal ramifications. The state has failed to clarify this so nothing has been resolved.
It really is infantilizing kids of high school age to make them deliberately ignorant (and therefore reject) people who have different preferences. It’s horrific and is doomed to fail. The real world has a way of catching up.

I looked at the webpage for the event and it looks very much like a tourist draw. Nothing they are doing has any scientific merit. Honestly, believers need to give up trying to find a singular nonexistent monster. That loch has been searched thoroughly.

This looks new. Needs a lot of work. I looked at the earthquake lights and ball lightning pages and I would have to spend days updating it. That’s the trouble with unknown things, there is a lot that has been tried already that might be relevant towards an explanation but we’re not there yet.
