The Look Up: The Sounds of Nature

4/16/2021

Several times a week I think, "Oh! I should look that up later!" and then I never do. Then I get frustrated that I can't remember what I wanted to find. Then I forget all about it and it happens all over again. Please tell me I'm not the only one who does this.

Anyway, here is what I did remember to look up this week.

  • Kratom - We were watching To Catch a Smuggler and the package inspectors uncovered boxes of it. I wanted to know more about this drug than what the show told me. Before it's processed, it looks any old plant. I thought that was surprising.
  • Average library user age - I never was able to find an answer to this. I could find information about what percentage of an age cohort uses the library but not the average age. I guess there are a lot of variables involved here - type of library, geographic location, hours, etc.
  • 50 Decibels - I wanted to know just how loud this was as, apparently, I should not set my kid's white noise machine about this. 
  • Brood X Temperature - It's getting warm and I need a reminder of when all the cicadas are going to pop out of the ground. The answer was 64 degrees.
  • Moss Ball Aquarium -  I read an article that these are now being banned because they are letting in an invasive species. I wanted to know what they looked like.
