Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
It's an ostentatious house, disproportionate to the lot size, but I don't think it's truly a McMansion. There's a symmetry there indicating a clarity of vision. I don't like it but it does look as if someone designed it. The second link though, that's right on the money, intersperse those with small attractive houses on huge lots awaiting sale, lot division and tree removal, and you have Indian Road.

I imagine that the single family houses on the left and right won't be around for long. When I was @ U of Waterloo as a student the whole street single family homes, some rented out to students others were family homes.
I hope for the builders sake that there is a constant stream of students wanting to move in !!!

Good spot. I grew up about 10 km from where they filmed that show. The look of the towns is virtually identical from where I lived (Hadfield vs Hayfield, Derbyshire). Back when BBC Canada was actually worth watching I would watch that show and actually think the channel was worth subscribing to.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Laughably enough, a friend of mine (my wife) was also taken into hospital yesterday. She's a tall (fairly) slim lady of 64, a retired school teacher and until yesterday in good health. She had what we now know was a trip on a rut in the paving, resulting in an awkward fall onto concrete, now being called concussion and two fractured elbows by the brain surgeons and the fracture clinic doctors.
Marron, eh?

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Going to ask Santa for one of these. The front truck has a special articulation mechanism so the ride is more fluid. Should be good to bomb about on in the spring while getting some exercise.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
Those look great but a little spendy atm, especially when the technology is rather new and reliability might be an issue with what seem to be glorified prototypes.
