15 I had a Lab that would do the 'Dog entertains himself' trick in the irrigation ditch.
She'd run a tennis ball to the top of the property and drop it in the ditch. Then she would truck over to the bridge and wait for it to go by...then launch into the ditch after it.

Rinse and repeat. All day.

16 So, yesterday, in my travels back from the city, the Uber I was in had an unfortunate encounter with a Martz bus right on the Weehawken side of the tunnel, took about an hour for the PA Cops to do a report and let us all get on with our lives.

I discovered that upon an accident, an Uber drivers account is suspended until completion of an incident report and that the driver, regardless of who was at fault, will more than likely, not be allowed to drive for Uber again.

At least the drivers was driving a rented vehicle and not his personal vehicle.

He's got that going for him.

24 So I watched X-Men First Class last night for the first time. Its overall pretty entertaining and well done with huge flaws and plot holes and such. But the performances are quite good, especially for a funny book movie. Other than Jennifer Lawrence who cannot act.

But there's a scene where Wolverine wakes up from having his mind thrown back in time, and he's freaking shredded, i mean he's all veiny and pumped like he just did 9000 reps and has not drank water for a week.

Dude, he's just waking up. I get it, you want him to look buff and the girls can all go OOOOOH but seriously? Nobody looks like that when they are asleep. Its in the movies all the time, they get all pumped up before the shot so their muscles are all cut. Its okay to not look like you just stepped out of the gym

The overall problem I have had with the X-Men movies is that they are pretty brutally re-imagined and bastardized versions of the original comic books stories and Wolverine is not 6'4".

Don't get me wrong, I don't think a pint sized Wolverine would have worked on screen and Jackman was born to play the part but that, in a nutshell, is what has plagued X-Men throughout it's entire theartircal series.

“We know that during World War II, the rail network was heavily bombed, especially here north of Paris where there were also many factories,” he told reporters.

Sud-Rail union official Fabien Villedieu posted a picture of the ordnance covered in dirt.

It was not immediately clear when and by whom the bomb was dropped during World War II and if it dated to before or after the 1940 occupation of Paris by Nazi Germany.||

105 A true story that I have told here before. Mumble years ago when Mrs928 were first married, we lived on Lake Murray in SC. There was a guy that fed the wild geese and ducks. He fed them so often that they would come up in his yard for the tossed feed. Over the course of the year he would feed them from closer and closer to his house, eventually even into his garage. One day, after leading the large flock indoors, he shut the door. None of the creatures were ever seen again.

The horrors that must have happened in there are the stuff of avian nightmares, I am sure.

A neighbor’s cat actually divorced its owner. And oddly, she looks like the kitteh in the video.
She would make the rounds of the neighborhood houses, mine was one of them. I would have kept her except she wore a collar and looked well fed, so I figured she was one of those social butterfly cats.
Nooe. She was a kitteh ISO a new home, and she got one. I talked to the neighbor who adopted Chloe from the woman she detested. Although Chloe is happy in her new home, she still runs out to meet the guy next door, so maybe…

115 The pictures up top are Norias, water lifting devices, not actually water mills. They are based on Roman designs, but the ones in Syria are probably build during the Arab period, not the Roman period. It does seem that the Romans built water wheels in France to mill wheat into flour, but those were different in design.

I have a fun little book based on a lot of Vitruvius' works on mechanism, where they discuss the Roman water lifting devices. They used them a lot in Iberian mines to drain water, and a bit in other industries. As "pumps" they generally were man powered, by some poor sort trudging along at the top of it

I have a kitty named Chloe who ran away from the home she was adopted into. She was a shelter cat that got adopted into a home that had other cats who chased her out.
My wife found her in the garden and I tempted her into the house with food since she was skin and bones from living feral. My cats didn't really care much so she stayed. I think she is about 17 now.

128 I can see why someone would replace the house. It was a great lot with a floating pier but to call the house a cottage would have been very charitable. In short, the land was worth way more than the house.

I almost/could have bought a house on Shull Island for the then princely sum of $65K. If we had, I doubt that we would have ever left.

The kids will get to visit and she'll take really good care of them. Apparently she plans on making them indoor cats. I tried for 4 months. And even in a very cold Canadian winter, they still wanted outside.

With Mom gone, it was too much.

They still come by everyday, scratch at the window and meow. I do pet them and they do visit. As a dog person, they're the sweetest cats. I'll miss them but will be happy they'll be taken care of and safe.

Gradually showed up in the kitchen for morning coffee and now shares a lap with one of us. Most vocal cat I've ever heard, a real talker.

182 Canuk Geese love the golf courses here in NoVA. I hates them. I was down around Pinehurst, NC golfing a few years ago. Problem there too. At Mid-South GC, word got out a coyote caught a couple of Canuk goslings. There were cheers around the course.

To prevent bird strikes, Selfridge ANGB used to set off explosives and such to scare the geese away.

When the geese got used to it, they started shooting them.

Those are lives well-lived. But it is always too soon when we lose someone we love. You've done well by your family. God Bless.

184 It was warmer then and North Africa produced so much grain that Rome gave away bread.
Then man-made global climate change made it cooler and the fields stopped yielding as much grain.

Warmer weather increases the growing season, and also boosts the water cycle, turning deserts into cropland.

The killer question has always been: what is earth's *perfect" climate?

185 the Obama administration secretly worked behind the scenes to systematically protect Iranian agents and operations from federal investigators — for fear arrests and exposure would upset Tehran and so derail negotiations for Obama’s obscene Iran nuclear deal.

Yeah, you shouldn't overlook bad behavior from a counterpart in a serious negotiation about something important, but this was just about atomic weaponry. Wouldn't want to upset that little applecart over a few mixed up ps and qs.

189 Missed the last thread, but: one of the scandals Joe McCarthy uncovered was that Voice of America was staffed with communists who were filling taxpayer-funded “reading rooms” in Europe with actual communist, anti-American propaganda.

This led the Eisenhower admin to accuse him of “book burning”..

As do I - but that's the easy ones. The tough one for me is praying for our shithead enemies and foes.

196 It’s mind numbing how much graft there is in govt. I mean of course everyone knew there is some. But holy fuck. I don’t think even the most cynical among us thought it’s THIS bad.
