HAPPY NEW WEEK and HAPPY NEW MONTH!
I hope everyone has a wonderful week and a great October!
We've had an interesting phenomenon here in the Great Lakes/Midwest, including Indiana. Flamingos have been showing up on Lake Michigan and the Ohio River. Their presence here is unprecedented. They are tropical birds native to Central/South America, although some do appear in Florida.
Some scientists have speculated that the birds were blown here by Hurricane Idalia. Personally, I think that sounds odd because the hurricane traveled up the east coast of the US. The winds didn't impact the Midwest. (But nobody asked my opinion lol.) I hope the birds leave soon, because they won't survive our winter.
Hugs to all.

Hi OG.
Ha!!! its that little bit of plastic on the right photo that fits around the neck of eyedrops bottles ( picture on left)
you then can hold over your eye and squeeze to insert the drop.
much less hassle than when you try to squeeze those tiny bottles, as the flaps are large and makes the squeeze so much more comfortable, especially with arthritic fingers.
and of course they are reusable , as you slip it off the bottle ready for the next insertion.
Hope that makes sense for you.
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
