We’re still having colder than usual weather, including a rather weird graupel storm last Sunday that I got stuck in traffic in for a long time. I seemed to then come down with a cold for a couple of days in the middle of the week. And things continue to be super busy at work.
Once again I bring you the Friday Five: The top five (IMHO) stories of the week and videos (plus notable obituaries and a recap of my blog posts).
Stories of the Week:
Georgia Can’t Afford Another Anti-LGBT Bill.
Humans Behave Surprisingly Bat-Like in Echolocation Study.
Mars Curiosity rover can now drill again, and more like a human.
Report: Media Largely Ignored Unprecedented Anti-LGBTQ Violence of 2017.
In Memoriam:
Emma Chambers, The Vicar of Dibley actor, dies aged 53.
Nanette Fabray, star of stage, screen and TV’s ‘One Day at a Time,’ dies at 97.
