Great visual of the glacier's fluidity.

^^A2^^

A shanty town in New York's then barren Central Park.

I never knew it was ever completely devoid of flora.
^^A3^^

All hail the human brain!
^^A4^^

The Wailing Wall

You need to watch what happens to all those sacred prayers at this holy place.

This was found on the shore of Lake Michigan.

To some people, transportation is a huge problem. My plumber won a big contract to plumb a new apartment building. He borrowed money to buy all the fixtures then the developer went bankrupt which left my friend bankrupt. His van broke and he couldn't afford to fix it, so my wife and I gave him a van that we no longer needed.

Her name was Amara Renas. She was a Kurd.

She was murdered, mutilated, and abused by Turkish-backed forces in Rojava, Syria. She was a Kurdish fighter, one of the female militias that fought tirelessly against ISIL. She was repaid, like many other Kurds, with the US green-lighting their ally Turkey to come in and begin ethnically cleansing the Kurds from their own land.
These are the men in the film.

Wife watching porn: Oh my god I'm so wet!

Me eating popcorn: Have you tried putting it in rice?

DON'T DO STUPID

Wait for it...

Always use your safety equipment.

I never drove drunk - I would call my wife for a ride.

I once had a doctor tell me that most doctors consider it alcohol abuse if you drink one drink more than the doctor does
^^B2^^

Don't be a sucker.
^^B3^^

Don't show off for your friends.
^^B4^^

I am often dismayed at the stupidity of the average American.
They think reality TV is entertaining. The same people who don't believe science when it comes to vaccines and climate change will believe in astrology and that the universe was created in six days after which the creator got tired and needed a rest.

Microwave manufacturers: We made a special button just in case you want to make popcorn in your microwave.

Popcorn manufacturers: You touch that button and we will burn the whole goddamn house down.

PONDERABLES

Some words are selected to be offensive. There are no rules to this process it just evolves and nobody knows why. One day a word is okay to say in polite company and the next day lawmakers are convinced to pass laws regarding its use.
I wonder if those primitive tribes untouched by civilization have words that they are not allowed to utter. If that is the case, then why were they taught that word in the first place. And if everybody knows and uses the word then why is it taboo?

The internet is overwhelmingly convinced that someone killed the guy for the important people he could taint.
^^C3^^

I'm a flat guy.

HA!
Look what spell check wanted me to change!

^^C4^^

A guy did this while his wife was away. She didn't like it. I think it rather clever especially with those bomb-shaped vases on the floor.

^^C5^^

That would still make the motorists slow down which I thought was the whole point of the exercise.
^^C6^^

Nothing makes a father feel better than having a child tell you that the advice you gave them years prior was perfect and that she really appreciated it.
^^C7^^

RH: It's just so silly and sad at the same thing.
^^C8^^

I feel guilty of that but it is an okay segue.
^^C9^^

Whenever I make a list of chores I always add one or two tasks that I have already accomplished so that I can experience the immediate satisfaction of crossing them off.

CREATURES GREAT AND SMALL

Speaking of falling over - a foal sneezing.

^^D1^^

I think she's just trying to wear the little bastard out so it will sleep.
^^D2^^

What you call cute I call grotesque deformity.
^^D3^^

The fad of selfies and photographing your food faded rather quickly, but not posting millions of pictures of cats.
What's up with that? Seriously, does anyone think the internet needs yet another picture of a cat?
