Oh yeah I almost forgot, I have one in the back of the TJ with all kinds of junk in it.

The plastic ones don’t last here in Phoenix - the summers are so hot the plastic degrades after a few years. I have one that the bottom dropped out when I picked it up off the floor, and another one that I don’t dare lift as it is essentially just 4 sides keeping all the stuff contained.
Mine live in the garage, they fit under my welding table. Green Shamrock ones, over 30 years old. But I have seen them cave in when left outside. When I worked at the supermarket it was an automatic write up if you were caught standing on one.

Love using these! Have about 10 in the basement.
I get a chuckle out of the ones with 'Failure to Return to Vendor Will Be Prosecuted' knowing full well that I'm the second generation (or third gen for some of them) these crates have passed through and the company is likely no longer in existence.

Was walking the dogs and saw this bird poop on the sidewalk.

Gambel's Quail.
They lay eggs just about anywhere. I have found clutches of 15-20+ in my garden and in the cactus patch all the time. It's so warm in the summer the hen doesn't even sit on them, they just self-incubate, then when the young 'uns hatch, mom n pop gather them up and start teaching them how to find food.

First one looks a lot like a Cooper's Hawk.
Second one looks like a Great Blue Heron.
neither of those are allowed near my Koi pond. Last year I fed the fish walked away and heard a splash. Turned around and saw a hawk at the edge of the pond, when I walked towards it, bird took off with one of my koi in its talons.
Looks like the load came loose or slid at least but also looks like it wasn't loaded properly... Wonder how fast they were going? Reports are they were injured but will survive.
The truck flipping over may have saved their lives, I've heard of cases where those goosenecks jackknifed and cut the cab off at dash level along with the occupants.
