Canadians have garbage cans. USians have trash cans. Just the way it is...

Well look at the size of her frickin lawn. She must have to mow 24x7. Eventually a hawk was bound to drop a snake on her. It was just a matter of time.

The question is which direction is it facing?

It's a silver beach. They are usually planted in front of grand estates and after 100 years, they have a huge crown and massive trunk. There's no way this is coming back.

Developer in our town is redeveloping a parcel that used to be a Catholic school. The developer wanted to remove the tree because it was in the way, but a lot of people in town protested . I guess now everyone is happy?

I agree with the sentiment of this post, but to be fair, you can also carry 3 or 4 passengers in the left vehicle, as opposed to only one in the right.

The main problem is the US fuel economy regulations actually encourage manufacturers to build bigger trucks and SUVs so they get classified into a category that has looser fuel economy requirements.

As the spouse of a singing teacher... Take lessons from a trained professional (someone that has a degree in vocal pedagogy and / or vocal performance) and practice regularly. Don't expect to be amazing overnight. It may take years of lessons and daily practicing to just get to a level where people don't cringe when you try to sing something.

My son suggests Arboretum. It's a strategy card game that is deceptively simple.

Yeah, this is a thread for old farts. I'll confess that I signed up for Columbia House back before CDs. Got 10 records for a penny and had to commit to buy 5 more over the next year. Each month, there was a "selection of the month" announced and if your didn't respond within the required amount of time, it would show up at your door and you were stuck with the bill and the record. This is why many of the records you find on the used market are "club editions" that lack many of the more expensive features like gatefold covers.

Definitely some Mr. Peanut Butter material right there!
