Both Eyes Working Together

 

I’m pretty sure we all know that both our eyes work together which is one of the reasons humans are so good at judging distance, catching things, and navigating the world smoothly.

Each eye is sending slightly different views to the brain, which then blends them into a single, rich picture of the world.

Because your eyes are spaced apart, each one has a unique angle on whatever you’re looking at.

The left eye sees a bit more of the left side

The right eye sees a bit more of the right side

These differences are tiny but incredibly important.

The brain combines the two images in the visual cortex, and compares the differences then merges them into one seamless picture. This process is called fusion it’s so automatic you don’t notice it happening.

Depth perception comes from the differences

The slight mismatch between the two images is called binocular disparity. Your brain uses this to calculate distance, which gives you 3D vision accurate depth judgment with the ability to catch a ball, pour water, or thread a needle.

This is why closing one eye makes the world look flatter.

Eye muscles keep both eyes aligned with six tiny muscles around each eye coordinate perfectly, so both eyes point at the same target. This allows smooth tracking of moving objects, quick jumps when reading and stable vision even when your head moves.

If the eyes don’t align properly, the brain may suppress one image to avoid double vision. The brain chooses the best information even though both eyes send data, but the brain can prioritise the clearer image. It can switch dominance depending on the task ignore conflicting information if needed.

This is why many people have a dominant eye, like having a dominant hand.

It’s an elegant partnership between biology and brainpower.

 

Largest Snakes

 

 

I have been thinking about todays post since last night unsure about what I was going to write and decided to do another post about snakes as in what is the largest snake in the world?

Since the word largest has two definitions there are two answers one is the reticulated python, which is the longest snake species on Earth.

They can be up to 7.2 metres or 23 feet in length with rare reports of some reaching over 30 feet in length. Generally, adults are between 3 and 6 metres in length.

Reticulated pythons are native to South and Southeast Asia, living mainly in tropical forests and nearby wet, warm environments. Think countries such as Bangladesh, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore, Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos and The Philippines.

Now if we are thinking about the heaviest snake, it would be the Green Anaconda which can exceed 200–250 kg in extreme cases. Its length is usually between 5 & 6 metres.

Green anacondas are native to tropical South America, especially in wet, swampy, slow‑moving freshwater environments.

Think areas such as the Amazon Basin (Brazil, Peru, Colombia) the Orinoco Basin (Venezuela, Colombia) The Guianas (Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana) and Trinidad.

They are semi‑aquatic and move far more easily in water than on land. Their eyes and nostrils sit on top of the head, letting them stay almost fully submerged while hunting.

Next week we will check out the smallest snakes.

 

Bathurst 1,000

 

Hello everyone, this Monday I am writing a bit about the Bathurst 1000, for those who don’t know it is a car race.

In fact, the Bathurst 1000 is Australia’s most iconic motorsport event, it’s a 1,000 km (621 miles) endurance race held every October at Mount Panorama Circuit in Bathurst, NSW.

It’s the crown jewel of the Supercars Championship and a cultural institution for racing fans.

The Mount Panorama Circuit is a public road for most of the year but transformed into a world‑class racetrack during events. The circuit has dramatic elevation changes of 174 metres, tight technical sections, and the blisteringly fast Conrod Straight, where cars can hit 300 km/h, (187 mph).

The race involves 161 laps which is a total distance of 1,000.29km’s, with teams consisting of two drivers sharing one car. It is known for unpredictable weather, safety cars, crashes, and strategy battles.

It was first run in 1960 as the Armstrong 500 at Phillip Island. It moved to Bathurst in 1963, the distance was increased to 1,000 km in 1973.

The winners receive the Peter Brock Trophy, named after the nine‑time Bathurst champion known as the “King of the Mountain.”

Last year the winners were Matt Payne & Garth Tander, it was Payne’s first Bathurst win and Tander’s sixth, placing him equal third all‑time. It was a chaotic, rain‑affected race with late‑race drama, including a penalty reshuffling the final order.

This year’s race is scheduled for 8–11 October it is promoted as another massive chapter in the Enduro Cup, with fan events, displays, and family‑friendly entertainment.

There’s also the Bathurst 12 Hour, a GT endurance race held earlier in the year. It features GT3 supercars and international drivers. Recent editions have included major crashes and dramatic red flags. I have not heard of this race.

 

Week 8 of 2026

 

Another early start up at 4.20am, it is 19c or 66f again this morning but like yesterday I expect it will heat up.

Tim and I went to the Reject shop, and I bought a number of things.

Tasha and Blain are still at it, Tasha said he blocked her on Facebook he said he didn’t, but he has a new account, and she hasn’t been added and he isn’t planning to do so. I feel this is somewhat childish.

Tasha sent me a long text about how she is feeling, which I am not sharing here but it hurt me how she is feeling so unloved and unappreciated and there is nothing I can do. It all started because Blain didn’t come to see his mum on her birthday.

Steps: 5,114 = 2.5k’s or 1.5 miles

Good morning and hello Monday, I slept through to 4.55am getting around 7hrs of sleep as it took me a while to settle last night but once settled, I slept well.

It is a wet morning but not cold temp at 5.30am was 19c or 66f, the rain has been heavy twice since I got up.

Got a text message from Hunter New England Oral heath about my appointment I had to ring them to arrange the appointment they have issued a voucher for me to see someone at Warners Bay Dental, rang them and made the appointment it is next Monday at 10am.

Around 6pm I started to feel unwell; I think I need to eat but can’t find anything. Rang Tasha she was out but on her way home so she swung by Macca’s and got me

Tim’s juror duty has been pushed back another day.

I have had a good start to the day it is only 17c or 62f I had a good 8hrs sleep.

I did a load of washing and hung it up to dry.

Tasha went to use her powerfit which I returned to her yesterday and wouldn’t you know it, its not working. I told her to come and get mine and try it out as it was half the price of the Powerfit brand at first, she said no but changed her mind and came down to get it.

Steps:5,470 = 2.7k’s or 1.6 miles

Had a good night slept of 9hrs it is currently 19c or 66f we are looking at a top of 37c yeah hope that’s wrong. My blood glucose level was 5.4

I went with Sue have her blood test done followed by the ultrasound, however, pathology was so crowded and there was only one woman working we had to leave before Sue’s number was called.

The ultrasound went well, the guy who did the scan said she has a fatty liver.

This afternoon while watching YouTube on the TV I dropped the remote and stood on it when I tried to pick it up deleting my account, I was annoyed but thought I would just have to re-add it. Yeah, not so easy keeps coming up that something went wrong try again after I don’t know how many tries, I gave up and turn the TV off for a while I will try again soon.

I decided to reboot my Foxtel box and after that it worked on the second try.

It is currently 4pm and 36c or 97f

Steps: 6,258 = 3k’s

Good morning world, it is going to be another hot day, I am up dressed and will soon get ready to go shopping with Sue.

It is currently 23c or 73f and my BGL was 5.4 and the time is 5.15am, I had 8hrs of sleep.

When I got back from shopping, I turned the air con on as it was 28c or 82f the time was 10.30am.

I am thankful that Sue helps me change my clothes.

I was able to turn the air con off at 5.30pm

It reached a top temp of 30c or 86f

Steps: 8,164 = 4k’s or 2.4 miles

 

Good morning, everyone, hope everyone are doing well, I slept well got around 8hrs of sleep. It is currently 23c or 73f only supposed to reach 26c, my BGL was 5.8 at 5am.

Sue came over and picked me up and we took Summer’s birthday present and lever in in the boot of Kathy’s car.

After that went over and saw Dave at work for a few minutes then back home again. That was good I like it when we go and see Dave even if it’s only for 10 minutes.

Steps: 6,515 = 3.3k’s 2 miles

Hello everyone, it’s the handsome tuxedo here, you know me I’m Luca, I have had a stressful week my human has been upset as she didn’t get to see my boy aka her son on her birthday. Thankfully the have patched things up and that makes me feel happier.

Friday afternoon

 

Hi everyone, hopefully everyone has had a good day or week, mine has been pretty good, tomorrow is my granddaughter Summer’s 13  birthday. 

So this morning me and Sue took Summer’s birthday present over and left it in the boot of her mum’s car. After that we went and saw our brother at his work, we called in for only 10 minutes.

The next few days will be hard for my sister Sue as two of her grandchildren have birthdays and in between them is the anniversary of her husband’s death.

Daemon was born on the 22, he will be 14, Mick died on the 23 ten years back and Thea was born on the 24 she will be 3. So, it is one hard day after another for her.
