Flying Fish are back in Barbados
Flying fish are considered the national dish in Barbados - they had disappeared for nearly a decade. Suddenly they are back in abundance. One year of significantly less tourists with sun tan oil and the plethora of cruise ships and the fish are back.
I'd love to see global studies on our seas, oceans and coastal life since the pandemic.

I hate that about fish, too. That, and the fact it's fish.
nation shut down. We didn't see fan trails from jets - the skies were clear.
And rush hour was a thing of the past, with few cars on the roads.
Do you remember how clean the air became?
I have often wondered, during the course of this pandemic, how many people are thinking like this. Every day we do not commute is a reduction in the carbon emissions, and if many companies do the same, then the world will be a better place.
If more people stop flying, if we have fewer national and international conventions and start holding conferences virtually, we will emit less carbon. If business travel goes down significantly (according to the US Census Small Business Pulse Survey, 38.8% of all respondents do not anticipate engaging in any business travel during the next six months, as of last week), we will emit less carbon.
I've been patronizing local restaurants that offer curbside pickup, and I noticed a group of EV charging stations in the parking lot. Kaiser also has them. In fact, we are seeing them more and more. The EV infrastructure is being built out. In my state, more people are buying EVs, and the Denver Post suggests we might have reached a tipping point.
What an opportunity this virtual technology gives us to dramatically reduce carbon emissions!
On a less cheerful note, my wife listened to a Republican pilot for Delta Airlines who inadvertantly left his mike open on the descent to San Francisco. He hated liberals, he said, and laughed that all probably drive Hyundai cars, and said that guys who are rolling coal are the only ones with real balls. N. looked it up and found that to 'roll coal' you modify the diesel engine in your giant pick up truck so that more fuel goes to the engine. When you accelerate, thick black fumes come out of your exhaust. That is what 'rolling coal' is. Note that I once saw a big pickup with a pair of chrome testicles suspended from the back bumper. I promptly pulled over because I was laughing so hard....
