Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
We live on one of the busier roads in Vancouver. Cars pretty much non-stop most of the day. Winter was fine, but man now that it is hot during the day, its horrendous the noise.
Thankfully for ear plugs....lol
Would be nice if they would just build condos with a/c so one can stay comfy and sit in relative quiet.

I really like this song, well I like most of his songs, but this is one of my favorites.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
From this month’s National Geographic
If plastic had been invented when the Pilgrims sailed from Plymouth, England, to North America—and the Mayflower had been stocked with bottled water and plastic-wrapped snacks—their plastic trash would likely still be around, four centuries later.
If the Pilgrims had been like many people today and simply tossed their empty bottles and wrappers over the side, Atlantic waves and sunlight would have worn all that plastic into tiny bits. And those bits might still be floating around the world’s oceans today, sponging up toxins to add to the ones already in them, waiting to be eaten by some hapless fish or oyster, and ultimately perhaps by one of us

Finally getting air conditioning. The unit they’re fitting looks enormous, almost like hot tub. 
it’s going to sound like a jet engine isn’t it? My summer of cool nights is going to be ruined by a 747 revving up under my window

We have 2 a/c units that are about the size of a washing machine's footprint but about half its height. They are virtually silent when running so you may be surprised.

You can't make it up....
Mum changes son's name after mistake in new tattoo - BBC News
The little lad was lucky that the mistake actually spelt a name at all, What if he'd been called Eric and the artist had penned Erica, would she have gone the whole hog and castrated the poor lad to match the tattoo?
