Twinkies cereal is a new one on me.   :)   Our sister-in-law celebrated her 99th birthday last November.   She eats Twinkies and drinks a half gallon of whole milk every day.    Her doctor says she is healthier than most of his patients and she will certainly celebrate 100.   She lives with her younger sister who is 96.    It sounds bizarre to me but it's working for her. 
Thanks for sharing the photo.

Doesn’t surprise me if the cereal has as many preservatives as Twinkies do, 😆

I know some featherless bipeds that could learn from her, and so could their offsprings.

Snorkeling with my daughter and a curious young whale shark.  Photo taken a few years ago in the bay outside the La Paz harbor.  The whale shark seemed to like running us over and pushing up against us.

They are sort of friendly and gentle, I have been on large sailboats where they come up to the boat and rub against it, maybe an attempt to knock of barnacles and other parasites. 
It's their huge size that is startling. Good thing they are not meat eaters.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my son sailed alone for 18 months (actually accompanied by his puppy) to the Sea of Cortez in a 40 year old, dilapidated 27 foot sailboat.  He recounts that one night while at anchor, he felt the boat swing around wildly.  He popped out of his bunk and went up to find a big whale shark pushing his boat around.

What does a 25 year old male do in that situation? He dove in, butt naked, and swam with it in the moonlight.

Whale shark skin is smooth and clean, and slightly soft to the touch.  It is smooth in one direction (head to tail), and rough like a cat's tongue in the other.  They are covered in tiny scales that are shaped like little teeth that are all pointed back toward the tail. They have tiny eyes and a gigantic mouth that the use to gulp down small fish, gelatinous zooplantkton, shrimp and krill, etc.  It is a little unnerving to have the shark run into you and look into its mouth and out the gills, but they have no interest in eating large prey.  They usually have remoras attached or swimming with them.

Bills post brought up memories for me.
I highly recommend anyone in the Phoenix/Flagstaff area stopping by Out of Africa in Camp Verde area (once travel is once again safe).  $25 gets you an Unimog tour and tons of info on the animals.  Including that hyenas are a matriarchal society and the hyena "laugh" is really a scolding when someone else in the pack is overstepping bounds.

A few from my old days as a young pup in the photog art field

Don't remember the camera or edit steps.  As you all know I don't care what the process is just the end product.

<smile> hope I'm not overstaying my welcome -----

This was a storm moving down the Columbia River.     In those days I would shot then edit thru Lightroom with assorted plugins.   <smile> I once payed about $500 for a set of plugins.   Google brought the company and then gave them away free.

Here’s a desert “shot” from the 60’s.
Think I’d rather have been elsewhere.

Kent, Yikes is that a mushroom cloud in the background?
Do you use that as an excuse for things - gee, sorry I forgot, but there was that mushroom cloud incident when I was a kid....  ;)

Years ago, one of my bosses, had been a marine during the early fifties. His brigade was taken to the Nevada desert to witness an atomic bomb blast,  a few miles away, sheltered only in their foxholes. Marines are tough.
He had some interesting stories and I still talk with him occasionally, must prove that radiation isn't bad....right?
