Alaska Airport Employees Robot Dog
When in Alaska, sometimes it’s necessary to send out a dog in the morning outside of your home or business to scare away local wildlife… that’s pretty normal, especially for more rural areas. Well, the Fairbanks Airport, Alaska’s 2nd largest airport, has now employed a robot dog to perform “wildlife hazard reduction.” The robot dog is the size of a Labrador Retriever, is named Aurora and will be able to handle all sorts of different terrain. Though it looks like a giant cricket… The Alaska Department of Transportation and Public Facilities say that Aurora will be camouflaged as a coyote or a fox in order to scare off birds and other wildlife from interrupting the airport operations. There were 10 incidents of airplanes hitting wildlife in Fairbanks last year, so they are hoping Aurora will help save some animals.

7 Positive Takeaways From The Phillies Otherwise Poor Start
The first 4 games of the Phillies season have not gone well. It is deja vu with a 3rd straight slow start. After spending all off-season talking about the importance of a fast start, they fell on their face out of the gate. The Braves embarrassed them in games 1 and 2. Then we saw Connor Brogdon blow up against the Reds, allowing an extra innings Grand Slam.
Obviously, it is frustrating. After all the hype, it sucks to see them start slow. It is only 4 games though. They started like this the past two years too, and they still made deep playoff runs. Things are going to be okay. You don’t hit the panic button in the first week, or even the first month. We went through this before, you think people would have learned a lesson from that?
That is not the case. Even after the first loss, there was a clear sense of panic on Phillies’ Twitter. People were worried about the bullpen, the bats, and Rob Thomson. I saw some people saying that the Phillies were going to be like the 2023 Eagles. AFTER ONE GAME!
So let’s all take a step back, and relax. The sky is not falling. This team is still very talented. They just tripped out of the gates. It happens. Breathe in, breathe out, and calm down. 4 games does not a season make. Like Andrew Salciunas wrote before the season, it is a marathon, not a sprint. Things will be okay.
Also, believe it or not, there are some good takeaways from the first 4 games. Amidst the embarrassing losses, there are silver linings that give us a reason to be excited going forward—individuals who stepped up or showed growth despite the team losing. It is not all bad in Phillies land.
Here are 7 Positive Takeaways From The Phillies Otherwise Poor Start:
