Nov 9th, 2017: Monarch

Gilberto Ruiz Parra was hanging with some bros in San Luis de los Agustinos, Mexico, when they saw a herd
of Monarch Butterflies fly over headed for the safe zone in San Agustinos Sierra.
He said (in Mexican), c’mon guys, grab your cameras and let’s go photograph and document these Gringos.
Maybe be we can convince the government to offer to pay for the wall.
But they were stumped because all those Monarchs look alike, so proving they were Gringo Monarchs would
be darn near impossible. Then Gilberto, with the Lord’s guidance found one of the Monarchs who forgot to
take off it’s license plate. Proof at last, proof at last, thank God Almighty I've proof at Last.
Short lived happy dance because it was a Canadian plate.



Quote:
Ruiz reported the monarch’s label number, XAL289, to staff at the Institute of Ecology of Guanajuato State (IEE), who in turn notified the National Commission of Natural Protected Areas and the United States-based non-governmental organization Monarch Watch, to reveal the insect’s journey.
Quote:
The tale of Gilberto Ruiz Parra’s lucky strike starts on September 3, when Canadian Betty McCulloch tagged a female monarch butterfly at the Rosetta McClain Gardens in Toronto.
Sixty-one days and over 3,900 kilometres (over 2400 miles) later, the same butterfly was sighted in the natural protected area of the San Agustinos Sierra, in the Guanajuato municipality of Acámbaro.
That’s like 41 miles a day including stops for gas and junk food. Don’t forget during this time frame were
Irma, Cindy, Emily, Franklin, Katia, and Harvey, giving blow jobs along the route.

I wonder how much ground he covered in 6 minutes, those videos always make me feel like they're going 200 miles per hour.

Downhill mountain biking is fun to watch, funner to do.
Always makes me think thoughts of entropy.
I rode enduros for years (before helmet cams). Noisier, but easier on the uphills.
