OT: Silly-ness

I love the solar things like toys you put together, flashlights and radios. I have some nifty toys I have on my window I got in kits. While at Walgreens I found the cutes Cardinal and chickadee (??? I think) that are solar powered. Motion detection but battery is refreshed via solar plate.

I just love the cheerie singing they do and ads to my solar play things. These toys were pretty common in earlier years but I don't find many reasonably priced kits anymore.

Hmm, the solar-powered flashlight never really caught on in my area, but what do I know?
