It is quite interesting that USB switching varies for different phones. This answers the question of why a mobile phone charges from one charger but not from another, even though both are USB. This is how they recognize their “own” chargers.

Today on the radio I heard from a girl from Belgium: “… when the police officer came to confirm my registration..,”. And it looks quite good at first glance, doesn’t it? A) Each registration will be accompanied by a surname and a real district officer B) Locals will know their district officers by face

As the winter, so the sled. On wheels.

I just made some coffee, I’ll finish it and then I’m off to bed

What I saw reminded me of a bearded joke:

A guy goes into a tattoo parlor and says:

– Make me a tank tattoo across my whole back!

– Okay, lie down.

After ten minutes, the tattoo artist says:

– Done!

– How come it was so quick?

– Why fuss? It’s just four letters!..

I was gifted a cool album with black pages. The first pancake is a lump, but I figured out how and what to do with pastels and the challenges of drawing white on black

Landed. Half the plane was occupied by the Russian women’s youth hockey team, carrying bronze from the World Championship in the USA. Now they are singing the anthem in the airport hall.

almost 500 rubles in our money 😦

Returned the car. Drove 3800 miles or 6115 km across the USA in 16 days. That’s 332 km per day.

Before traveling to the States, I imagined myself in the national parks somewhat like this (see the Snow White picture).

Reality turned out to be harsher. The fauna here is indeed rich, but cautious. We didn’t encounter any foxes, wolves, deer, or bears.

Over five national parks, the West Coast, forests, mountains, and walks along not always touristic trails, we didn’t meet many wild animals:

1. A little squirrel in Sequoia National Park (photo). Another squirrel we saw at the San Diego zoo doesn’t count.

2. Ground squirrels on the 17-mile drive near Monterey (photo).

3. A cougar that crossed our path in Grand Canyon National Park. Unfortunately, the cougar was fast, and we got no photo.

4. Elephant seals on the coast (photo). I do not count the seals in San Francisco; they are there 24/7 and are very accessible.

5. Pelicans on the pier in Santa Barbara (photo)

In the sky, hawks and other unidentified birds were periodically flying.
