[QUOTE=kladner;467215]One caveat about hot days and waiting for the bus. I am always sweaty at work. It is discouraging to arrive heated up and already soaked. :max:[/QUOTE]

I hear you loud and clear.

I recently had a client which needed my help, and paid me well. I chose to walk to work, which involved climbing over 30 metres vertically and 2 km laterally.

I showed up for work drenched in sweat. Fortunately I had a change of clothes and could quickly get to work.

Maybe I should keep at least a spare shirt at work. However, the seasons will solve that issue before too long. Still, there are cold days I shy away from walking. In particular, if the sidewalks are icy, I will wait for a bus, or take a cab if I have to.
("Shirt" above started out missing an "r". :smile:)

Maybe.

I found myself working in machine rooms. Bloody f'ing cold.

Hmmmm... or maybe ...WTF?

Man's Best Friend
 

Headed out at sunset last night to do an exercise loop around a nearby park and catch the full moon rising (gorgeous - huge and deep orange from all the haze in the air ... who said having 30 wildfires burning in the state currently is all negative?) On way back from the far end of the park, at top of a rise between a large, shallow, now-dry (due to drought-related water-saving measures) fountain pond on my left and a nighttime-lit softball field on the right, passed a tall bald fellow walking his 2 small mutts, and ended up doing a double-take: the black dog was a standard terrier-type deal, but something odd about the little white one - because it was a cat. :) Robust ~15lb kitty, mostly off-white with just hints of orange patches, off-leash but sporting a leash-clippable chest harness. I chuckled and said to the fellow, "not often you see someone walking their cat", he grinned and replied, in a heavy Russian accent, "he thinks he is dog". Then, nodding in the direction of the dog: "and he is half cat". At that moment the cat-who-thinks-he-is-dog went bounding down the slope, leapt into the waterless fake-lake basin and started strolling around, happy as can be. Hilarious.

[QUOTE=chalsall;467195]I have a lot of respect for you. But I fundamentally disagree with you on this point.[/QUOTE]
No harm done, as I said many times, our force stays in the fact that we are different :razz:
Unfortunately you didn't read my post deep enough, the "50 km" was not about electric cars (I even mentioned that nowadays one [U]can[/U] have a battery to last so long) but about methane cars. I [U]do[/U] refill my CNG car almost daily, and that is a big pain in the sitting down part ...

For the second part of your post, yeah, my boss says the same, nobody will drive own cars anymore. And he is quite serious about it. We almost believe it too... However he buys a BMW or other luxury car every year...

Had the same view early Wednesday morning (of the moon, not the dog and cat). The smoke from all the California fires gave the setting moon a nice tint- I haven't tweaked the colors or anything in the picture below, and it is very close to the shade I saw visually. Background was just a bit lighter, perhaps. Gorgeous.

A toddler peers over the border fence
 

"As the 'dreamers' face uncertainty, a young Mexican takes a look over the wall"
[QUOTE]JR, a self described “artivist,” was developing an idea that had come to him in a dream that took him to the Baja California cities of Tijuana and Tecate.

He was scouting locations close to the border fence in the latter city when he met a family and their year-old toddler David Enrique. When JR asked if he could photograph the child his family agreed, on condition that they could change Kikito, as the infant is called, into a fresh set of clothes.

As he was looking at the child through the lens of his camera JR’s dream took a definite shape. Kikito grasped the sides of his crib to peer out, and JR saw his project.

Wife of Trump’s ethics adviser caught doing nasty with inmate in her car

Ah! Those highly ethical GOPpers! Sort of makes me think of "The Producers" when [URL="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zero_Mostel"]Zero Mostel's [/URL]character is setting up naughty skits with elderly female donors.
Or maybe Zappa's 200 Motels:

The wife of a prominent Republican Party attorney who also serves as [B]Donald Trump’s[/B] ethics advisor was arrested and charged with “having sex with a 23-year-old inmate in the backseat of her car outside a Virginia prison.”
[B]
Teresa Jo Burchfield[/B], 53, is married to [B]Bobby Burchfield[/B], who serves as ethics advisor to Trump’s businesses. He also represented [B]George W. Bush[/B] during the 2000 lawsuit demanding a recount in Florida.
Burchfield was caught getting freaky with an inmate outside Virginia’s Fauquier County Adult Detention Center on Tuesday.

“The defendant was caught in the backseat of her vehicle with an inmate…,” Dept. [B]J. B. Thorpe[/B] wrote in Burchfield’s criminal complaint. “When the inmate exited the vehicle, he handed me a bag of brown pills [capsules] that he claims to be workout pills.”
According to the inmate, this wasn’t the first time the pair had gotten busy in her car. He told officers they had been having sex for about a month. In exchange for his services, the inmate was gifted with cigarettes, clothes and vitamin supplements.
