  1. I was there 19 years ago and it was crazy. My brother hasn’t told me otherwise.
  2. India drives in the ‘wrong’ side of the road anyhow. Their British colony influence on driving was/is more pronounced than ours since we drive on the ‘correct’ (right) side of the road.
  3. In India, using your turn signal means the person behind you can pass. And horn honking is common for when it isn’t safe or for the mountain roads. Then their is the whistler. Motor coaches have a person who whistles sitting next to the driver. He helps the driver see that it is clear to pass and what not (great for that mountain road when you would like to enjoy the view of the Himalayas, not become part of it at a rate of 32 feet/second).
  4. Now for some kinda sorta better news than the US sending its smoke to the UK. I will be starting soon as a barista to the Minnesota chain (working it’s way across the US) Caribou. I do like the log cabin feel of their coffee shops. So it’ll be interesting to see how it goes.
  5. When he was a student in the mid-90s, it was a small section of the state that didn’t change while most of the rest did.
  6. He attended Rose.
  7. Some female who can sing and not come across as unintelligent. And maybe make it an up and coming star versus an established a-lister.
  8. Hire him a good vocal coach and make a movie version of this or an NTLive production. Movie is preferable as that can be sold on DVD. I’d likely buy it if it existed.
  9. When my brother was at Uni we had fun with daylight savings as he was in Terre Haute, IN where they didn’t do dst. So we would have to remember when he was an hour ahead and when he wasn’t.
  10. Not me. I’ve always thought I’d likely live to be in my 80s or so.
  11. I was looking up the pattern of a tropical cyclone for a story I’m writing and noticed a top news story stating that the smoke from the “lovely” California wildfires (and probably most of the rest of the wildfires from North America) will blow to the UK because of what was tropical cyclone Erneso. The link from Metro was from 12 hours ago and was expecting the system to arrive tonight (likely several hours ago now).
  12. You’ve got me beat. Sunset is about a quarter past 8 with sunrise about a quarter to 6. If I lived about 4 hours or so straight West, I would have sunset that late or later, but sunrise would also be later. (The benefits and/or drawbacks of living on the East side of the time zone line.)
  13. Summer when Duluth, MN has sun a few minutes longer than Minneapolis, MN because it is further North by enough to counteract its distance to the East until about this point in August when it has 1 minute less sunlight and I have 3 minutes longer because I’m just far enough West.
  14. Cargo wasn’t super scary. I watched it once and was good to not ever see it again. As for ghost stories, definitely won’t be watching that. I’m not into scary even though I do like a good suspense work (I find most suspense tends to err too much on the side of thriller for movies though so don’t watch them).
  15. You have to know the right people to learn the handshake and none of us on here are it, at least the last time we checked. We were too crazy or something like that. Maybe not high-functioning enough in our sociopathic tendencies or we saw but did not observe at the right moment.
  16. Agreed on it being far too close. In the US, flashing headlights is usually done by commercial sized vehicles when a like-sized vehicle wants to merge in front to let them know it’s safe to do so. It also used to be done to let someone know that either their headlights needed to be turned on or dimmed. However, that has been discouraged the last couple of decades or so because of gang initiations. Waving of the hand is optional but nice when someone lets you in or waits for you. As the driver letting someone in/across, I only wave to let them know they can have the right of way.
  17. If I can’t see a person’s headlights, I know they’re too close as a Toyota Prius has a spoiler between the 2 sections of the rear window.
  18. I considered myself a patient person until I started driving. For the most part I am except when behind the wheel. That’s when I’m likely to get frustrated easily.
  19. Maybe I should qualify it to say the shoe version of his feet. Of course laces in his insteps would be fun for a Sherlock AU, and when he unlaces his “feet” to take them off, what would be left would some mini version of actual feet or something of that sort.
  20. I do both depending on the situation and it might be more frustration than actual anger depending on how often that day I’ve been in a similar situation.
  21. Why do those feet shoes remind me of Benedict’s feet (the one or 2 times they are shown on Sherlock)?
  22. For people who appeared to not read the whole message sent, I’d likely respond with as politely as possible asking them if they read the whole message maybe by asking if they didn’t understand the directions or whatever they’re asking that I clearly wrote in the original message.
  23. The picture looks like a garden maze.
  24. The crack in the lens is brilliant. I think it goes along well with the fly in the ointment and our favorite somewhat crazy, high-functioning sociopath.
