Today we saw a white-eared opossum and that's how I learned that Argentinians call them "comadreja" - literally weasel.
The evolutionary biologist in me is extremely amused by that, their shared ancestry is that both opossum and weasels are mammals, but that's it. And they definitely look like their ancestry stops there. 😅

Good Morning #Canada
The Battle of Jumonville Glen, OTD in 1754, between French Canadian and American military forces, was notable because it was the opening battle of the French and Indian War, the 1st combat action for 21 year old George Washington, and ultimately led England and France into conflict in the global Seven Years’ War. The assassination of the French-Canadian commander would also darken Washington's reputation for life.

Somehow i ended up interested in May 1942. I dunno, it just seemed, well, oddly familiar. Wikipedia is a dangerous place to wander. Nonetheless, have we been slipped a recycled year?
