Embarrassing discovery from VN history.​

​

Big Bend Fossils Belong to 'Gigantic' Possum​

Researchers at the University of Kansas have determined that fossils discovered decades ago in Big Bend National Park belong to a previously unknown species of marsupial-like mammals resembling “gigantic” possums.

Originally collected by the late Judith Schiebout of Louisiana State University, the molars and jaw fragments were recently analyzed by Kristen Miller, a doctoral student at Kansas, who reported her findings in a study published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology.

The new species, Swaindelphys solastella, was about the size of a hedgehog—much larger than others in its genus. "Since everything is bigger in Texas, this is perhaps not surprising,"said Chris Beard, the study’s co-author.

The reason that this is embarrassing is that the @TN-POSSUM ancestor was traveling with @InVOLuntary , @BaldBiker and myself on a road trip in the prehistoric USA when the little fellow got run over by a mammoth who didn’t stop for a pedestrian. Wasn’t a law back then…also, there were no laws or actual roads so the term roadtrip predated roads.
Anyway, we buried our traveling companion, said prayers and continued our road trip. I had almost forgotten that event.
I guess this should be titled “On this date in VN history “

No conspiracy here.
Just a story from days gone by…

By time he hits 2035 that 1 mill will feel like 100k used to when he first started getting paid.

On July 1, 1979, the first personal stereo cassette player, called the Sony Walkman, debuts for sale. It would spark a revolution in portable electronics.

• (approximately $150 at the time, or $650 in 2025 dollars after accounting for inflation).
  
  
• Key Features: The TPS-L2 was the first portable stereo cassette player that allowed users to listen to music through headphones while on the go. It included a dual headphone jack for shared listening and a "hotline" button for voiceovers.

Happy Choose Day

Thanks to all of you who help me on my journey in your own way. It's easy to ignore those small interactions, but even a laugh can lead us closer to God.

July 1, 2025: Take this time to give thanks to the Lord for His goodness and for those who have been sent to help you along the way. Remember that you are not alone; you are not on this journey by yourself even when it feels like nobody cares. God hears and answers your prayers.Psalm 124 2-5 If it had not been the Lord who was on our side, when men rose up against us, then they would have swallowed us alive, when their wrath was kindled against us; then the waters would have overwhelmed us, the stream would have gone over our soul; then the swollen waters would have gone over our soul.

Well said..........many on VN have given prayers when desperately needed. God is present in so many ways.
Thank you @DD4ME for reminding me.

If this is real, this is the first alternative we have had that is undeniably ugly.

How many days off do you get for the 4th of July?

Half day on 3rd and all day for the 4th

The Smokey Greys have run its course for me. I only like the dark modes, and I think that’s a cool uniform to wear on an October Saturday night once a season.

Wasn't the leak from last year incorrect?

He will be a middle of the pack Big 10 QB. He'll have moments where he looks like Tarzan and moments he looks like Jane.

Ratings for UCLA games in Knoxville will be very high.

That's a low hurdle that he will easily clear.
