Retroactive Bucket List

I have a retroactive bucket list.  When I have an experience that I never imagined or thought I would have, it goes on the bucket list.

Recent additions to the bucket list include

Seeing the Great Circle Mount in Ohio - one of those creations of an ancient people that is not understood.
I expected it to be about the size of a baseball field.  It was much more impressive.  DER estimates that it was 1/4 mile or so across.

Seeing and hearing a mole fight back when captured by a cat.  The mole got away.  The cat didn't seem to know what to do with something that was fighting back.  I never thought I would hear a mole and actually never really imagined that those residents of underground tunnels would make sounds.  Clearly a lack of imagination on my part.

So the trend of my list is things that surpassed my limited imagination.  Maybe they will teach me to imagine more.
