Sunday greetings, everyone - and welcome to March!
You may already be tired of people going on about how much they love their air fryers (No, I am not talking about members of a mendicant order who serve as flight attendants fpr the Vatican airline!) Grandma Cybersalt is away for 2 nights, which for me usually means a peanut butter on white bread for supper. But not last night! I ate something hot that I cooked in the air fryer. It's as simple as putting something away in a desk drawer, except you take it out after 20 minutes and it's the temperature of the sun! I also have to wash the drawer - but it's still a great step up from my usual self-care!
Today's video share is of an anvil floating in Mercury. Did you know that many lighthouses used to have a bath of mercury to help keep the light steady? The mercury was used to dampen the vibrations of the lighthouse lantern, which helped to keep the light beam steady and focused. However, over time, the mercury would slowly evaporate, releasing toxic fumes into the air. These fumes could be inhaled by the lighthouse keepers.
It is now believed that mercury poisoning may have been a contributing factor to the mental health problems experienced by many lighthouse keepers in the past. These problems were often attributed to the isolation and loneliness of lighthouse life, but it is now thought that mercury poisoning may have played a role as well.
I'm not sure if buddy should have been playing with mercury in this video, but he did so it's interesting to see such a heavy thing float!

I experienced one of the best earthquakes we've had at Cybersalt World Headquarters since moving here almost 29 years ago. What makes a great earthquake? It lasts long enough for you to realize what is happening so you can still listen to it and feel the shaking, but not so long that your house falls down around and on you!
