There's always another shop in the back in Hong Kong.

Where in Canada is Trinity River?

This was 1993.

Is he related to Daniel Day Lewis?

Alzheimers mostly leaves old memories in tact.

Nanga Parbat is one of the mountains you should absolutely only attempt if you're a serious mountain climber. It's so much more difficult than everest.

People often say Everest is for the tourists, K2 is for the climbers, but that could also be applied to Nanga Parbat and some of the other 8 thousanders.

They named it after a bulk carrier (one of the largest ships in the world at the time) that sank off the coast of Japan in a typhoon. It was carrying almost 100 thousand tons of iron ore from the mine I worked at for 10 years.

Or maybe just a place in England.

Don't mind me.

I would suggest to anyone who's interested to check out the Cape Shore on the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland, Canada.

Similar idea but it's changing now. When I went there for summer holidays in the 80s and 90s the dialect sounded so old fashioned Irish. They even have had historians out there who say how similar the accent is to the areas around Wexford and Waterford Ireland from long ago.

Jays are corvids so they are pretty damn intelligent. And watching them fly through the thick alders behind my house is like watching fighter jets from 200 years in the future, its insane how they can maneuver in and out of small spaces at such high speed.

I don't. But I played a little growing up in Canada. The thing is these sports are massive all over the world. Like mammoth massive. Our little North American niche sports are tiny in comparison. Like a soccer pitch next to Mars.

No problem friend. Was just making a joke with you anyway, so thanks for being a good sport.

Cricket and rugby are also generally played on what's called a pitch. All 3 are huge international sports even if less so in North America. Although rugby is pretty popular here.

Ah thanks, that's nice of you. No just had a life in the world and know about a few things, even those outside of my own interests.

I think most people who haven't been in a basement playing video games chained to a radiator their whole lives would know what a soccer pitch is.

They've been telling us in the north that suicide rates are higher when our days are really short in winter. I can see there being truth to what's being said in this post.

I didn't start to feel really normal until about a month without alcohol and two months before I felt like my endorphins and gaba receptors among all the other things in my brain were getting used to it.

You've got about 5-10 minutes max in the north Atlantic until you're too numb to move.

There wasn't going to be any swarming going on.

I've been to one in Halifax, Nova Scotia. A long time ago, but I guess its still there.

The Queen of the Skies.

One the neatest things about the 747 is how fast it is because it has it's wings swept back so much.

This guy's alright as well. The Dirt Ninja.

I find it wild that people don't know this.

My parents who were the age of most grandparents when I was growing up, grew up in small fishing towns in Newfoundland many many moons ago. They told me how you would heat up a brick (yes the fire safe kind) wrap it up and lay it in the end of the bed when you were sleeping. It would keep the bed warm during the night even if the fire in the stove happened to burn out during the night.

I've always heard it called tea, same idea I guess.

Dandelions are very high in chlorophyll if you eat them but they don't taste great.
