Hornet's Nest Starting

This is the Baldfaced Hornet -Dolichovespula maculata, which is actually a member of the yellow jacket group of social bees.  All yellow jackets are very aggressive in defending their territory and the stings are quite painful.  I probably will remove this nest as it is near the front entrance to our old house.  No pesticides - just a removal and hope that she will decide to rebuild elsewhere.

Pi

Pi is a transcendental number 

 

After memorizing Pi to the first 250 decimal places I searched the internet for the person who has memorized the greatest number of decimal places - and it is a whooping 100, 000 figures:

Akira Haraguchi of Japan, 60, needed more than 16 hours to recite the number to 100,000 decimal places, breaking his personal best of 83,431 digits set in 1995, his office said Wednesday.

 

There is an infinite number of non-repeating decimal places in pi - of which over a trillion have been computed - and after reading about Mr Haraguchi's amazing feat I  think I will quietly slip away and rest on my 250 decimal places memorized.

Last Photographs Before I Leave For Home

I ask the few people that like myself were watching their friends or loved ones take the Amtrak to Baltimore if I can take their photo, then walk out to my old F150 to head up the road to home
