Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I have been surprised how warm this apartment is vs our last one. We still have windows open overnight to keep the place comfortable, all closed up and its stuffy and warm. The previous 2 Octobers in the last place, heat was on by now.
Hovers around 13/14 during the day and 8/9 overnight, lows later this week to dip into the 6/7 range.
Next week we will be experiencing a wide range of temps, from highs of 21/22 in San Diego and highs of 29-31 in Palm Springs and Phoenix area's.... Not sure I am ready for 30 degrees...lol
I also feel old now that I have realized one of my nieces is graduating high school in June and a niece and nephew graduate in June 2018...
Where has time gone?

Bought travel insurance today, looking at the break down, my wife was $1.00 less to insurance, $12.95 for her portion and $13.95 for my portion, maybe being a year older then her is higher risk.

British Airways flight diverted to Vancouver after cabin crew becomes ill - British Columbia - CBC News
I always though the crew were supposed to be the last off the plane. Not to b*gg*r off and leave the passengers to their fate.

Statistically, being a male, you are most likely to be the one to get drunk, undress and injure yourself running naked thru Disney Land than your wife

This is a bad time of year for dogs. In the morning, except on Sunday, there are guns firing and one dog is, rightly, scared to go out. At night there are coyotes yipping and the other is, rightly, very cautious. It's eerie to hear the coyotes and to know that they're just at the end of our field.

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
I love the eerie sound of the coyotes. When walking our dogs, if they start to turn round to head home or are being overly cautious, we have learned to turn back.
We have a neighbourhood cougar (of the feline kind) and Moose as well as coyote. If the dogs are jumpy, then we should be too!

Re: Random stuff - the anything else thread
This simply suggests that an ultrasound is used and beneficial versus the stethoscope listening to the heart from what I can glean- We also listen to chests-bowel sounds etc. Considering at the moment it takes a year to get an echocardiogram/ultrasound image of the heart locally, we still need to rely on our clinical acumen/stethoscopes. I am not sure who they are suggesting should be paying for no doubt very expensive portable cardiac ultrasounds…
I just found the article interesting in the aspect of the 200th birthday......
