We’ve got coyotes here, too. Right on the coast of NC. They’re bigger than the western coyotes. These look like mangy, starving German Shepherds. I’ve read it’s becasue they cross bred with wolves.

Have also seen pics of the smaller ones here. Almost foxlike in appearance. Reddish colored, you have to look close to see the difference.

I just heard from DollyCali.

She managed to break her left wrist this afternoon. It is going to require surgery. That is will be continuing as I type now.

Prayers are requested.

She will fill in all details when she returns.

I broke my left baby toe 3 weeks ago.
Of course, I don’t need it for typing, but it still hurts a lot.

If I hear any more I’ll let you all know. I suspect it may be quite late or even tomorrow before she’s able to communicate with anyone.

"???HUH???? If you get it, please tell me." JA

Well, it's both simple, and complicated.

In 1811, Avogadro published an article in Journal de physique that clearly drew the distinction between the molecule and the atom. He pointed out that Dalton had confused the concepts of atoms and molecules. The "atoms" of nitrogen and oxygen are in reality "molecules" containing two atoms each. Thus two molecules of hydrogen can combine with one molecule of oxygen to produce two molecules of water.

Avogadro suggested that:
equal volumes of all gases at the same temperature and pressure contain the same number of molecules
which is now known as Avogadro's Principle.
It was this concept that allowed researchers to begin dealing with large numbers of atoms, (a necessity in any case), and yet have a clear understanding of how the individual atoms were reacting.

Initially, they weren't entirely sure whether they were dealing with atoms or molecules, but thanks to Avogadro, they knew how many were involved in a particular volume. It was for this reason that the term "mole" became popular. It is a term that denotes a particular number of things. It's more than a dozen, and it's more than a trillion, or even a decillion, but it sounds friendlier.

This led to a clearer understanding of Atomic Number, Atomic Weight, and eventually developed into a recognition that there were isotopes.

All of this was necessary as a precursor to understanding how the Sun got its energy. One can make a back-of-the-envelope calculation of how much energy the Sun sends out to this distance; the radius of Earth's orbit. Since the Sun sends this energy in all directions, the numbers grow enormous. What could possibly provide so much energy?

So, in essence, Avogadro and his "moles" did the spadework for another peculiar fellow named Albert Einstein.

LOL

You lost me at H2O. Okay .... atoms, molecules and isotopes; no wonder no one except you and Einstein understand this stuff. LOL

Just kidding .... thanks for the info, NnB.

Favorite coyote quote:

“It is my personal belief that when the last human has fallen, and the last skull lies on the irradiated earth, a coyote will come trotting out of some safe place. Don’t ask me where he’ll come from; but I believe that he will survive as he has always survived. The coyote will trot in his furtive, skulking manner, to the skull. He will approach it carefully with the caution borne of millenia of avoiding steel traps and snares and pitfall. He will cautiously sniff it. His educated nose will tell him that he no longer has anything to fear from the bleached remnant of a once great civilization. Taking a few short steps to get in the exact position, he will lift his leg.”
