Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I wonder if Amazon just ships to this area once per week, every order I have placed since moving, always delivered on Thursday, if I ordered Wed or later then it comes the following Thursday.
Either its a coincidence or Amazon just does a weekly trip.

Vancouver Fire Dept Hazmat teams have been busy cleaning up mercury spills, several in the last 2 weeks. The latest one was not a small amount of mercury either, about 1 liter was spilled across the sidewalk.

I did it in about 1968 at Happy Valley near Calgary (now been swallowed by the city - I think you had to be 14 to go off the high tower). From the top, it looks like a long way down, and when you hit, you go right down to the bottom and it takes a while to come back up. I was terrified, but didn't want to climb back down, and I thought if I could do it once I wouldn't be afraid any more. Nope, I jumped 3 or 4 times, and it didn't really get any easier.

67 people were paid about $30 to jump, about 70% of those who made it to the top did eventually jump.
They noticed some jumped from social pressure of others below waiting their turn.

I think I would pass, too high for me.
Any idea what language the people are speaking?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Could be. People here in BC do the same, its very annoying and dangerous, especially on the 2 lane crummy highways we have.
When we were moving to Kelowna, on Hwy 1 just west of Hope, there was this car, she would speed up, then slow down, speed up and slow down, anytime I tried to pass she would speed up so I couldn't, then I would go back into the right lane and she would slow to 70 again, try to pass her and she would stay at my speed so I couldn't.
I finally got annoyed and just exited and waited 10 minutes so I didn't have to deal with her crazy driving.
I forgot to take my Zoloft last night, and if I miss a dose, I get crazy dreams, and last night was no exception, everything from battling sharks, to being friends with sharks, to being in random places selling jelly beans to people for some reason, so many crazy dreams, nothing scary, the shark battles were not as scary as they sound.
