Is it just me? I consider this to be Victoria Day weekend. It's that variable calendar does it to us.
Somehow I found the website named worldometmers.info. It comes up with the total coronavirus cases in the world. Clicking on world population, the number changes continuously when will we reach 8,000,000,000? Wikipedia says 2024, but the Worldometer says 2023. We're currently at 7.8 billion. All the population milestones are Here.
The Worldometer website is compelling with its real-time counters. Our world appears frenetic. Scrolling down the list, here are some of the things being tracked:
Society and Media: new book titles newspapers circulated today TV sets sold today
Food: undernourished people overweight people
The categories include: Government and Economics, Environment, Water, Energy, Health...
"Worldometer is run by an international team of developers, researchers, and volunteers with the goal of making world statistics available in a thought-provoking and time relevant format to a wide audience around the world. It is published by a small and independent digital media company based in the United States. We have no political, governmental, or corporate affiliation. Furthermore, we have no investors, donors, grants, or backers of any type. We are completely independent and self-financed through automated programmatic advertising sold in real time on multiple ad exchanges."
A few weeks ago I saw this flock of domestic geese in Jordan Valley at the one lane bridge. The dogs in the truck checked them out too.
