If you have spent any time at a beach around gulls this is so so true. Oh there goes the sandwich or bag of chips off the picnic blanket.

Extreme heat wave is predicted for the next few days in many areas. Many people will suffer. I apologize for finding this funny:

 

"With current temperatures hovering above 120 degrees, rangers in Death Valley National Park have some advice for would-be visitors: Drink plenty of water, avoid excessive outdoor activity and, please, stop trying to fry eggs on the pavement. It doesn’t work, it makes a mess and the staff has better things to do than clean up after you.

In fact, the proliferation of broken shells, discarded cartons and accumulated goo has reached such a point that the park recently took to its Facebook page to implore people to stop ---------------------."
