Speed Bump by Dave Coverly for May 15, 2023

As the crow flies.

Social Media mapping or as the crow flies.

guess he’s taking his migration during the off season

Took my GPS on a commercial flight. It was fascinating to watch the icon moving over 300 mph, ignoring all of the roads.

Does the Owl use HOO-gle maps?

So all that stuff about detecting magnetic declination, skylight polarization and such is passe, like LORAN. But what will the migrating birds do when the WWW goes down in the next Carrington Event? Do they still practice compass, sextant and mapreading as backup? Are there avian preppers practicing survivalist skills in hidden glades? Do the Illuminati know about all this?

I bet he chooses the bike route.

I know, but the odds are better.

If they’re lucky, it shows the birdbaths and feeders on that route.

Just don’t bring carri-on luggage!

I assume it’s plotting a path where “droppings” will find targets.

I hope the High Risers and wind turbines are clearly marked.

Only crows use those last directions.

Bombing list…

Where’s the icon for trebuchet!?

Birds-eye view. :)

There’s actually an online app for calculating straight-line distances between two points on the map (or several straight lines joined together). I was actually disappointed that the website’s name has nothing to do with crows.

Is the cursor pointing to the bomb bay doors?
