I don't see the #RedBelliedWoodpecker too often so was quite excited to see this one on my Maple tree in winter. They are a medium sized #Woodpecker with beautiful black and white barred plumage and brilliant red cap on the males and red nape for the females.This male was tapping the tree looking for the sap

I don't know how someone of you do it. Posting and replying 24x7 and managing jobs, families, and hobbies to boot. I'm 200+ posts behind and I may not catch up before I give up and jump to the top. *sigh*

"These extremists (referring to privacy advocates) are political opportunists who’ve made it their mission to cripple the advertising industry and eliminate it from the American economy and culture."

I didn't know the answer, so I asked my editor at Norton, Brendan Curry, for some help. He in turn asked some of his colleagues, and here's a summary of their replies: https://shadycharacters.co.uk/2023/01/miscellany-98-a-novelistic-conundrum/. There's a lively discussion going on in the comments, so please drop by to add your input!
