Final two weeks of my degree... and I have discovered Milo Yiannopoulos. 8:20 - 11:30 is the relevant bit: [youtube]WdbAxDdtMZs[/youtube] And then of course the required 'remixes': [youtube]J0utavOx3DI[/youtube]
Don't have a parka. Anyway, we have arrived and are now living amongst boxes. Looking forward to our first moose sighting as they are known to wander the neighbourhoods.
As long as you don't sight Bullwinkle immediately before his 7 foot rack goes through your windshield, you'll be good. Congrats on safely arriving. Here's asking God's best for your and yours.
Trying to keep trees alive under strict water-rationing and persistent high temps. Simply let the lawn die - it's an attractive golden brown. Three large redwoods shedding branches. I place a 5-gal bucket with a tiny hole in the bottom of each and let it seep gradually - seems efficient - maybe 15 gals per redwood once a week. Everybody is under pressure to save the trees where possible. Drip lines and watering systems are in place but are inefficient and are causing other problems, so have been shut down. El Nino will likely trigger heavy rains in a couple months, when the problem will turn to flooding, water damage and weakened trees toppling in storms. My heart is in Montana while my tail is in the Sacramento Delta
ng h Oh! Well! On that note, it appears they put my Mom in a nursing home several days ago, without my knowledge - I talked with her not more than 4 or 5 days ago. Then I hear by way of roundabout grapevine that she suffered a series of heart attacks yesterday. It had evidently been posted on FB before my brother in South Carolina found out and called me. My family has my number. Now I'm disgusted, dejected and busy making plans. See ya's around.
Sometimes, it's a shame that you can pick your nose but that you can't pick your family. Blessings to you, oh Ecstatic one.
Thank You Much 8) I will likely go to Portland, Ore, pick up my Mom's sister, who recently lost her husband to heart failure, and drive to Montana with her. My Mom is not expected to last more than 7 days. Tentative plan at best
Thanks! She passed shortly after I posted. Was able to talk with her, briefly. Suffering was mercifully minimal - there was morphine in the end. She evidently raised quite a fuss near the end, but I deduce it was because she wanted a cigarette. End of an era.
Watched the pre-dawn last crescent of the moon, just a sliver of an arc slung way-low over the horizon through an opening in the trees. Also a couple remnants of the Perseid meteor shower. Have to admire the precision and impossible odds of having the planets in position to allow such a view, which certainly must be for man's benefit.
I agree with you here. There are 2 words in your statement that do not go together in my vocabulary "pre dawn." I DON'T DO MORNINGS. The only way I see a dawn is if I haven't gone to bed yet.
Just about to head into Uni to submit my dissertation. Crazy. (Currently experiencing stress related heart burn.)
I hereby prescribe (a) a nice milkshake or malted and (b) at least nine holes of a good walk, interrupted.
IMHO you can skip the interrupted part of the walk but he walk sounds like a good idea. (Also the malted)
I have yet to find a good milkshake in Scotland, and it... was raining I mean, lots of people on the Old Course but that's only because they've been waiting a year to be there.
