Stick with me on this one. I've been spending more time watching birds, squirrels, and insects lately. Nature has always fascinated me, and the longer I observe, the more I notice. And one thing I've noticed in general is that birds, squirrels, and insects stop and start a lot. They're headed somewhere, but context plays an enormous role in how they get there. Watch a squirrel make its way to a tree. It rarely runs from point A (current location) to point B (the tree). It runs in stutters. Staccato. Starts and stops. Looks around. Runs some more. Stops. Looks around. Measuring the moment, taking in the surroundings, the situation, the context. Sometimes the path alters depending on what's now between its current location and its eventual destination. Sometimes it's more of the same. But there's always the start, the stop, the evaluation, and then what's next. It's from now, to now, to now, to now. It's not from now to later. I see the same behavior in all sorts of insects. Birds on the ground, too. Aside from migration, birds even do it in the air — stopping to rest, to observe, to decide what the next moment's all about, before taking off again to the next stop. To the next now. It all seems pretty natural to me. It makes sense. Point in a direction, have a general place you're headed, but regularly re-evaluate along the way. Let context blaze the path. There's a destination in mind, but very little planning on how to get there. They just get there by stringing together a series of independent moments. They go far by barely going anywhere, over and over. Like compound interest, but in movement. It's an honest way to arrive. This has always been how we've run our business at 37signals. And it's how I suggest others run theirs too. Head somewhere, figure it out as you go, reconsider often, adjust on the fly, and find your way through by stringing together independent moments. That's why we work in 6-week cycles. That's why we admit planning is guessing. That's why we decide based on what we think, not what we thought. Just like a squirrel. Watch.

Mangrove Forests: Nature’s Coastal Guardians Against Erosion Mangrove forests are often overlooked, yet they play a crucial role in protecting coastlines from erosion. These unique ecosystems act as natural barriers, absorbing the energy of waves and reducing the impact of storm surges. By dissipating wave energy, mangroves help shield coastal areas from severe damage, preserving both land and livelihoods. 🌱 How do they do it? Mangroves have complex root systems that not only anchor the trees but also trap sediment and build up land, making the shoreline more resilient to rising tides and storm impacts. Here’s a video that showcases their powerful wave-dampening abilities during a storm. Watching this, it's easy to understand why preserving and restoring mangrove forests is essential for sustainable coastal management and climate adaptation. 🌊 Did you know? Studies have shown that mangroves can reduce wave height by up to 66%, providing natural protection that engineered structures often struggle to match. If you’re involved in coastal engineering or environmental conservation, consider the role of mangroves in your projects. Let’s advocate for nature-based solutions that work hand-in-hand with technology. What’s your experience with mangrove restoration or coastal protection? Share your insights and let’s discuss the future of sustainable shoreline management. 📹 Pescadores del sur (YT) 🌎 Do you like it?

🚨 Real-Life Story: Osprey Nest Causes Power Pole Fire 🚨 This footage of a dramatic and concerning incident underscores the critical intersection between wildlife and infrastructure. Here's what happened: Nest Proximity: Ospreys built a large nest on top of the utility pole. Nesting materials like twigs and branches made contact with live wires. Electrical Sparks: The materials ignited from electrical sparks, quickly escalating into a fire. Power Outage: The fire caused a significant power outage, affecting homes and businesses in the area. Fortunately Power Line Sentry has a clear solution to this - we have Nest Diverters for single and double, wooden and FRP, cross arms, intellirupters, switches and more. From diverting nesting activity - even by eagles and osprey - to insulating energized components, we've got you covered!

Two Ocean Creek in Wyoming is a stream that splits into two branches, one flowing to the Atlantic Ocean and the other to the Pacific Ocean. Two Ocean Creek is located in the Teton Wilderness, part of Wyoming's Bridger-Teton National Forest. The creek splits at the Parting of the Waters, a National Natural Landmark. Pacific Creek This creek flows west from the Parting of the Waters and empties into the Snake River, then the Columbia River, and eventually the Pacific Ocean. Atlantic Creek This creek flows from the Parting of the Waters and empties into the Yellowstone River, then the Missouri River, and finally the Mississippi River, and eventually the Gulf of Mexico. Continental Divide Two Ocean Creek is located on the Continental Divide, a gravitational boundary that separates watersheds that flow to different oceans.
