@Anke @ShaulaEvans Yup.

@ShaulaEvans And another one: an impressive example of moth long-distance navigation capability, and a lovely piece of research to track and analyze their flight strategy.

Happy and free, this is no concern of mine, and I will just enjoy the afternoon sun. Microsoft is history.
