COLD DARK ROOM

That sounds like a great trip. I love seeing pictures of New England in the fall/autumn. It's one area I would like to visit.
I hope you have a wonderful time.
It's been cooler here today but it was 34C yesterday - unbearable ,
My cousin and I had planned to
go walking, but neither of us like heat so we postponed until it's cooler.
My car is back - it was the injector causing the problem. So that's been replaced and cost me £180 including labour and VAT. I just hope it passes its MOT next month so that I don't have to spend much more on it. 
About 90°f was it humid also?
Yes and it was still humid today.
After watching that video. I think I will go to the mom and pop pizza place. And ask them to take me on a tour of their kitchen.
I get hand towels and soak them in water. Put them in the freezer for awhile. Take them out before it is frozen solid. Then I put on the carapace of the tortoises. It gives them a break for awhile.
Excellent idea!
Where a I grew up there were huge Italian and Sicilian populations, so I was really spoiled about good, hand-made pizza and didn't know there could be any other kind. In the 1970s and '80s Pizza Hut had an impressive and affordable salad bar. During those years I drove all over the Country and made a point of eating my main meal in the afternoon at their salad bar just before the prices increased for the dinner trade. I would sometimes get a pizza, too, and noticed I would have indigestion for about 24 hours on those days. Eventually I found out that their "cheese" was expanded with some kind of oil, and my stomach just doesn't like to deal with oil. It looked ok, but really was a Frankenfood. So their pizza was one of the first I quit having.
There's a chain here called Black Jack's Pizza that is quite good. Or at least it used to be, I haven't had any of theirs in a long time because the nearest one is in the vicinity of fifty miles away from where I live (and there was that really good hand-made one my kid's buddy's family ran really close by.)

Took a bus to my hometown that has originally started from Warsaw. When in line for boarding the driver asked me where I was going. I quickly realized the question was pointless as he didn't know a word of Finnish, let alone regonize spoken city names compared to written. I answered anyway, but in the end I had to show my ticket.
It is my first time using this company, but the price can't be beaten and the seats are comfortable so I am absolutely going again.

Finnish language is absolutely cool! I have a good friend from Finland, and I always ask her to speak Finnish when she visits me.
That is some viciously good looking cake!
FT, I have experienced exactly what you are talking about but in reverse. I actually think if they explain it that i will understand. Over here we call those people: spouse
I told Kerry that we can go into DC at the Mall to see the Monuments without feeling like i have a target on my back!
No matter my attitude or likely false sense of ability, changes the fact that I look like an old man, one that would be easy. I can't put Kerry at risk so we generally stay out of those places other than 11AM. Might be neat. I stopped taking dates down there when i met Kerry.

Well, it's the "windmill" type of generators that are hard on birds, the several other designs that are not as harmful, there is the Vertical Turbine Egg Beater Type (Darrieus turbine can either be straight, curved, or helical in shape), and a similar to the Darrieus is the Savonius style VAWTs use the principle of drag to convert wind energy into mechanical rotational energy. the last two types are more bird friendly.They have a devastating affect on birds too because they don't see the blades.The UK is set to have hundreds of off shore windmills in the next few years. I hate them. Solar panels would be better. I don't know why they can't invent some sort of dynamo under road surfaces so that cars could help generate electricity.
Torture, YES. Last mammogram I had in 2024, the Technician for lack of a better term "Man Handled" me. SHE was NOT gentle, and had me do several views multiple times. I know it is a necessity but . . really!
And today I have a (PLFT) Pulmonary Lung Function Test. I hate this test, They are looking for the volume & efficiency of my lungs. I was diagnosed with emphysema last year. and I have never been a smoker. Blow, blow, keep blowing, keep bowing, your almost there, keep going, ok, your done! Ok, one more time.....
Sorry, I didn't have any more to blow after the first five seconds....
My ex GF is just now getting over shingles, She got the vaccine a year or so ago, as I have also, along with the pneumococcal vaccine. She said it started out feeling like a sunburn, even though she had not been in much sun, and then a rash developed. Apparently there is No treatment, all you can do is try to control the pain. It kinda ran it's course over a month.It's weird because even though I don't really get the flu shot every year I was considering the shingles vaccine the last few weeks. I was planning on getting it. Now I KNOW I'm getting it. And I will recommend it to everyone that has had chicken pox. This is awful

The Mall. I will never forget my experience with that. Last year I attended ASTRO (annual oncology meeting) and one day I was offered to go to see the Mall. I was excited. We were walking, enjoying monuments and I couldn't wait to go to the Mall
I had no idea that the Mall was not a shopping center Attachments
My brother in law has just been diagnosed with emphysema, and although he was once a smoker he doesn't have any symptoms they told him he has it because he has has the gene. This was complete news to all of us. None of us knew it was genetic.Torture, YES. Last mammogram I had in 2024, the Technician for lack of a better term "Man Handled" me.

I hope all goes/went well with the tests today. I have the lung function test because I have asthma.
