... Check out Marconi the Math Dog at Wally World (Walmart). Due to Marconis Dad suffering a broken ankle, this was his first car trip and visit to Walmart in some four months. When I asked of him "let's go see the 🐠 fish, he immediately took off and headed towards the frozen fish aisle where he gets to look at whole frozen snapper. That is a big treat for him. Remembering exactly where the fish are located in Walmart after four months is a display of his incredible Eidetic Memory. Marconi says please switch the audio icon to the ON position.

...Here is a photo of a Great Blue Heron 💙 perched upon a rooftop peak of a neighborhood home 🏠while we were out and about walking Marconi the Math Dog. These magnificent birds can stand up to 4.5. feet tall and have a wingspan 🪽 over 6.5 feet. We watch them fishing along the shores and shallows of the local lakes and ponds. They display astonishing patience in their fish 🐠 hunting techniques and rarely miss when making an extremely fast and accurate strike at an unsuspecting and unfortunate fish. They always swallow their fish headfirst, and that process can be quite time consuming when dealing with a relatively large fish. However, there are pros and cons with everything, no matter how beautiful ❤️ or how magnificent, Great Blue Herons included. Obviously, Great Blue Herons are large birds, and large birds will undoubtedly leave behind very large deposits. That is something to consider when thinking about how wonderful 😊 it would be to have a magnificent creature spending time on your roof on a daily basis. Nature sure can be beautiful, and surely can provide some unexpected experiences. Marconi says please switch the audio icon to the ON position.

--- Marconi the Math Dog will be performing at the Gateway Club in Fort Myers, Florida on October 24, 2024. This will be Marconi's first professional show where he displays his communication talents and his amazing memory. Anyone in the audience will be able to ask individual questions of Marconi and he will be answering with remarkable accuracy in real time. Spelling names, doing individual birthdays, playing blackjack, recalling historical facts are all in Marconi's wheelhouse. He is carrying on the theme of Mellie the Math Dog by advancing the science of extreme canine cognition. This marks the beginning of a potentially great career in showcasing what is possible with a gifted canine. Marconi is posing with one of his display props which is for the human audience to follow when he is answering questions. Most humans need several seconds to decipher the letter to number code while Marconi knows this coding system instantaneously. Marconi says please switch the audio icon to the ON position.

Marconi the Math Dog with his 2009 NY Yankees World Series Championship jersey. This one happens to be a Derek Jeter #2 jersey. The Yankees won the American League Pennant in dramatic fashion on Saturday night with a Jaun Soto 3 run home run, defeating a very good Cleveland baseball team. Marconi is looking forward to the World Series where the Yankees will be playing the Los Angeles Dodgers or the New York Mets. If, in fact, it is the Dodgers, it will be a baseball historical record 12th time they square off against each other. The Yankees lead the classic rivalry with 6 wins. If the Mets get to the World Series, it will be a true Subway Series. Either way, Marconi says "Take Me Out to the Ballgame ", Go Yankees, and please switch the audio icon to the ON position.

--- Marconi the Math Dog 🐕, photo by candle light. We lost electric power 🔌 before 9pm. It's flashlights and candles for the duration. Morning light is 6 hours away where we can go outside and assess the damage from Hurricane Milton. Not sure of the wind speed, but it sure sounded like way more than anyone would want. So far, the rain has been somewhat minimal which is a major plus for our area considering that the lakes were at a very high level. Big rain will equal big troubles. Marconi will give another report in the morning, depending on the battery condition of this cellphone. We have no electric for a recharge. We think Marconi looks good by candle light - what do you think? We will send this photo to Marconis girl friend, Winnie, the adorable Golden Retriever who lives ❤️ around the block.

Had to check on some things in the neighborhood. Came across three large groups of white ibis, feeding on insects and grubs in the lawns. Not sure if this is the "...last meal before the hurricane arrives..." mentality, because, normally speaking, ibis groups are 2 - 7 . While we stopped to film these birds, some new members were flying in. After returning home, I asked Marconi how many Ibis did you see? He answered 103. I am not sure if that is a correct number, but a quick look and estimate by me while filming the birds would say Marconi's number is certainly in the ballpark. We were thinking it could be like a "RAIN MAN" moment where the Dustin Hoffman character instantly counted the toothpicks that fell on the floor. Maybe RAIN DOG is a good moniker for Marconi.
