Texas has the highest speed limit in the United States at 85 MPH on Texas State Highway 130 ... and if you're only going to go 85, please stay in the right lane so the rest of us can pass.

Is that the Valentine App or one of the other V1 apps? If so, which app? I've been using the V1 app. It's OK, but I'd make changes if I could. I've been wondering about the other couple of V1 capable apps out there.

Yes, it is a private party app called V1 Companion, and adds a bunch of features and enhancements to a Valentine 1. Highly recommended. And the developer is very active on the Radar Detector Forum and responds to questions and feature requests.

Thanks, I'd wondered. I've seen and posted about a few 3rd party apps in another thread about radar detectors. I have been using the V1 app for a month or so now, and it's OK, but not great. I've been wondering about the others, but don't want to make a purchase without hearing from someone with first hard experience.

I saw that the Companion app seems to be the most highly rated of the 3 that I saw for iPhones. And it seems to get a fair amount of love at https://www.rdforum.org/.

I may give it a try, thanks.

International Space Station slipping across the Moon's face as it flies by at 8 kilometers per second, gently kissing Tycho crater. That crater is 53 miles wide, so while the station almost looks like it's orbiting the moon, it's actually 1000x closer to us. What a shot!

I've noticed something that I think is really odd. We have ants that spend nights in between the posts and rails of our fence. The thing that I find so odd is that they come from one fence post, walk across our gate, over the chain, and then spend the night on the other fence post. In the morning, they travel back to the other side of the gate.

We usually have our gate closed with a chain around the end that opens. On the odd occasion that the gate is left open until it gets dark, if I go out to close the gate, the end of the gate is covered in ants. I'm not sure what they do if the gate gets left open all night (do they sit on the end of the gate all night?). But if I close the gate, they then proceed to their usual spot. It's also interesting to note that these ants are polymorphic. There are two different sizes with one that's fairly small, and the others are quite large (easily twice as long and probably 8x heavier).

In the first two shots, you can see the size difference

The ants come from the far side, walk across the gate, and then use the chain to get to the fence on the near side.

This farm in Jøssingfjord, Norway, was built under (really) a cliff. The houses do not have proper roofs, as they are covered by the rock shelter. This is why they have survived since the 1800s in such a condition, as they have been protected from rain, snow and wind.

Native Encampment
In the mid-1600's the Ojibwa east of Lake Superior began to move westward, and by the late 1770's, Ojibwa settlements circled Lake Superior. One of these settlements was located on the Kaministikwia River. Eye-witness accounts of Fort William in the early 1800's usually mention a Native encampment east of the palisade. A painting dated 1805 shows clusters of dome-shaped wigwams huddled at the south-east corner of the Fort; illustrations from the Hudson's Bay Company period (after 1821) depict conical tepees and wigwams.
These habitations reflect the culture of a people continually adapting to their environment as they had for thousands of years. Ojibwa family groups moved through these woodlands around Lake Superior in a seasonal round that included fishing, hunting, and gathering, and trade gatherings with other Native groups. With the coming of the Europeans, many Ojibwa incorporated the demands of the fur trade: trapping fur-bearing animals, and more prolonged contact with trading posts to supply pelts and other services.
The Ojibwa inhabiting the western Lake Superior region were also known as the Saulteaux, or Chippewa, while to the north were the Cree. Probably both tribes were represented at Fort William during the Rendezvous when Natives from surrounding areas came to trade their furs and exchange their labour and produce for commodities available at the Indian Shop. While most Natives departed for their hunting grounds as summer ended, some stayed behind to participate in winter activities of the fort.
During the NWC period, there were probably about 150 Ojibwa living in the Kaministikwia district. A number of Ojibwa names appear quite regularly in the Fort William transaction records, probably the members of the Ojibwa community adjacent to the fort. It is probable that they based their operations at Fort William, but continued to undertake seasonal journeys and encampments for the purpose of harvesting maple sugar, wild rice, snaring rabbits, fishing, and hunting game. One of these expeditions might last weeks or even months, so the Ojibwa population at Fort William was constantly in flux.
In addition to their own activities, the Ojibwa at Fort William supported the operation of the post. Women worked in the kitchen and canoe sheds, as well as the farm, and received payment in the form of trade goods. Men might be engaged in hunting or fishing for the NWC, and any other service in labour or expertise that the company might require.
As producers, the Ojibwa were integral to the needs of the NWC at Fort William. The transaction records show the quantity of provisions and materials supplied to the post and its personnel: bark, wattap and spruce for canoe-building, snowshoes, moccasins, skins, maple sugar, berries, wild rice, and fresh game.
