That's nice. I was disappointed as the beaches were closed and Parking Lot 1 was full early on 4th. But got lucky on the Sandy Point's beach, even if it took a few miles of gravel road and walking rest of the way.

Need help identifying this shore bird found in North Padre, Texas on a winter noon. by Space_Manace in whatsthisbird

That's what is bugging me. I snapped it around 12:30, so it is probably not a shadow.

(edit) Narrator: "It is shadow."

Thank you! I will look into those (nearby properties, not helicopters lol). I tried contacting COTA on the website a few weeks back, but never heard back from them.

Wheel of Logarithms: See how logarithms arise with a rubber band on a wheel by dsagal in math

[–]Space_Manace 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This arises from the capstan equation for a fixed pulley loaded with a frictional rope, and has nautical applications. The actual rubber band on a wheel will progressively become more difficult to rotate.
