Going Green Full Throttle
With no good evidence to prove it, I’ve always believed locals are being paid off by Vestas to ease their way.
On the other hand all those jobs are welcome.

There are good reasons for doing this research.

I have some confidence in the integrity of Colorado State University (Go Aggies!) but can agree with the doubters. This needs careful ongoing monitoring IMO.
As to the butthurt “scientists” your silence and go along, get along means you no longer have the benefit of doubt with a large part of the population.
Banner – The Accidental Hero
We have a routine. In the elevator I take off his harness and when we arrive at our floor he gallops down the hall looking for treats neighbors often leave for him. He makes a lot of noise.
My 86 year old neighbor had fallen and lay on the floor for four hours. She had managed to crawl to her door. When she heard Banner running she managed to open her door and call out to me.
With the help of other neighbors we were able to get her up and the neighbor’s wife helped her with clean clothes.
My neighbor said she was so happy to hear Banner running down the hall.
Yes, we have talked to her about an alert button or a holster for her cell phone. The lady is a tad bit stubborn.
In other Banner news he has a new collar that not only provides contrast but is reflective. He doesn’t care but the ladies in the building are complimentary.

Lesson here is being a hick police force is no guarantee that the police force isn’t damn good at policing.
As always, YMMV

This is the first place I've lived where I notice the bats. They're out around sunset when it's starting get dark, and zoom all around like they're having a dogfight. Gathering insects, I presume.
Good Boy, Banner! He's sure getting grey compared to the first time I met him, but then so is Pebbles.

Too bad there isn't 'Just for Dogs'. He has gotten much grayer this past few months. He is ten going on eleven as far as I know.
I've seen bats all my life but not in huge numbers. I doubt most people are in no danger from diseases if they stay away from where the bats roost. Back to the old mountain men's advice, "Don't go bothering something that ain't bothering you".
When I lived in Condo Paradise, I picked up a cheap IR thermometer. One of the things I used it for was checking the temp of hallway doors during random fire alarms.

Not a bad idea given some of my neighbors. One woman microwaved her Ramen without adding water as an example.
Glad you and Banner got a 'save'! And yes, bats do eat a bunch of bugs! Sadly most people are scared of them because they are so quiet.

There has been an increase in "treats" scattered in the hall. Banner doesn't mind.
I'm all in on anything that eats mosquitoes.
The cheap IR handheld "point-n-shoot" devices are good for gross temperature detection and are quite affordable and accessible via Amazon. They're certainly better than nothing. For twenty or thirty bucks, shipped, they ain't bad, as long as you understand their limitations.
The limitations are from an accuracy standpoint. Most of the cheap units send out a cone-shaped signal that is only accurate at one specific distance, usually fairly short, 18" or so, and shooting anything farther or closer than that specific distance can be wildly inaccurate if you're looking for any kind of precision, like for how hot is that expensive big-arsed gearbox or bearing actually running. And assuming the object you're shooting is in the center of the cone.
W.w.w.
Good information. Some of the YouTube shows I watch have folks using them.
Good Banner!
BTW, family just rescued my Mother in Law from a facility where she was starving and on the point of dying. I'll spare you the detail but was heinous. She's safe now and can enjoy her last year or so with some kind of dignity, surrounded by people who love her. So.

I assume your MIL lives in Canada. Sickening how the cancer that radiates from Toronto/Montreal/Vancouver sickens a whole country of decent folks. I've always liked Canadians although I find many to be a bit full of themselves.
My neighbor was taken to the hospital and still hasn't returned. Banner continues to be applauded by our community. He graciously accepts the attention.
