I've been looking for a location around here without success. There have been a couple of times in recent years where certain solar activity has made the Aurora Borealis visible much farther south than usual but try finding a dark enough location to see it. Last time I was out looking I needed the cars navigation to get back to familiar ground.

Great point, heart disease is rampant in my family. This is occurring very sporadically and seems to be triggered by certain things. Caffeine is the main trigger, hot coffee and ice cold Coca-Cola.

Apparently I have reached the age where heartburn is a thing.?

Amazing story, heartbreaking end.

While vacationing in Orillia I just had to take a side trip to Edenvale. This 1:1 replica has bounced around over the years but seems to have found a permanent home here.

Perfect storm, two people that really wanted it. The guy that lost out was "out" three or four times by the time it was over. I think that same car sold a couple of years ago for considerable less, like under two million.

Anytime I don't have to build an engine is fine by me. Even on builds with engines I'll occasionally borrow one from a previous build instead of going through the process again. I don't display anything so previous builds are donors for future builds. There's only so many times I'm willing to build the same Nascar engine or 426 hemi.

We have cameras at 10 major intersections, soon to be 25 that sends you a $325 ticket if you run a red.

Reminds me of my early days as a pipeline draftsman back in the mid 70s. I was on a job site on railway property with our senior draftsman and he asked me if I had ever seen the Roundhouse. There wasn't much left of it by then but the turn table was still in place.

Need seat belts now.

Just prior to the accident I was reading that John has been looking into the nostalgia funny car class.

Tougher than whale bone. Amazing how little came off the car.

These big box stores perplex me. I watch a lot of true crime programs and it's amazing how many perpetrators are captured on video at one of these stores. Somebody has gone missing in the community and the perpetrators are buying a shovel, tarp, garbage bags, rope, gallons of bleach, bag of concrete/cinder blocks/ bar bell weights, jumbo sized cooler/storage bin, rubber gloves, hack saw and blades all at 2:30 am and nobody suspects a thing.

Oilers still have a pulse.

Things change, things die.

Next door neighbor brought home a new daily driver, it's a Porsche EV, looks to be the Macan. Looks good next to his Ferrari F8.

Ready for summer.

96 pages, mostly pictures for $10.

He was extended the courtesy of turning himself in at an agreed upon time. When he failed to appear he was considered to be a fugitive from justice and on the run.

Look out below.

Pretty sure that once you buy the kit it becomes yours to do with as you please. For me paint or polish comes down to how much the build means to me. If it's just 1 of the 1200 on the pile and I select it when the time of year makes painting outdoors impossible then polish is fine by me. If it's a kit that I purchased with a specific replica or memory to capture then I go all out and paint.

Agree 100%. We were just outside the zone to experience the total eclipse so I travelled the 20 miles to get inside. Where I was we had approx. a minute, twenty seconds of darkness. What really struck me was how light it was with 99% of the sun covered. You really have to get inside that zone of totality for the full experience of darkness.

Not glasses but you could make a shoebox viewer. https://atlantic.ctvnews.ca/video/c2898039-diy-solar-eclipse-viewer?playlistId=1.6834748 Several variations on YouTube. I was shut out until this morning. The local tv station was giving away 1000 glasses and I managed to get two.

Witnessed and recorded to my phone a police officer involved shooting this afternoon. Rubber bullets thankfully but it still initiates a Special Investigations Unit review.

Blood pressure on the rise the last few days. A little over two years ago there was a tragic accident where the driveway of the condo complex I live in meets the main road. A car at high speed jumped the curb and struck a small tree, a street light and finally a group of seven and eight year old Girl Guides and their leaders. One little girl was killed and others left with what are described as life altering injuries. The court case started last week and the details coming out indicate it was much more horrific than originally imagined. The driver says her brakes failed and since the car had been serviced earlier that day the dealership must have done something to make the car malfunction. The cars data recorder indicates the accelerator was 99% to the floor and the speed was 120 km/hr. slowing slightly to 100 km/hr. when the stability controls kicked in as she closed in on the street light. Seems like a case of confusing the pedals as she has said that while trying to slow down the car just sped up. When asked by police how the brake pedal felt she responded "like a gas pedal".
