Taking the door as 40 inches wide, rough scaling makes the pit 40 inches by 80 inches by who knows how deep.
I wonder what that smoke is from.
I hope they got out okay.

OMG! This is recent! I never heard of this. It seems the main eruption was Sept,19th. Those poor people!

It’s still going on with rivers of lava.

No lava here at the moment:

“The most recent eruption in Spain turns two with no signs of an end. Scientists have warned that the eruption will not end in the short or medium term, and the most active stream continues to advance and destroy as it passes from plantations and crops to roads and essential infrastructure for that area of the island. “

For some reason I have not been able to play video links on this site the past couple days. I don’t want to reboot right now as I have a couple of working windows open, but I will probably be able to close them tomorrow.

If you’re running Windows, try right clicking off the play arrow in the video and left click on “Copy video URL.” Paste that into a new window.
I hope you get to see what you want to see.

CLEO’S REAL NAME WAS BERNADETTE
 
Again, if my memory is accurate, here’s one for MontanaLady. Saturday, February 28 to Friday, March 6, 1959.
He’d have been 41 when this picture was taken.

I don’t imagine she’s evil. I think she is trying to get the point across that: “Hey, if I don’t know you really well, and at least accept that you are part of the family, you had best stay away from my babies.”

Susan

By your own description you live in an older neighbourhood, but I do not believe it is so old that you do not have category 5 telephone wiring (as it may still be called).
 
Anecdotally:
As I said, my own DSL service came through 40 year–old copper telephone wires up until Monday of this week; the service was at least as fast as I am now getting from the supposedly superior fibre-optic line service.
 
If your wiring is category 5, the link below will provide the academic backing to why I believe your ISP is deliberately not giving you the speed they could (movie line: “Greed is good.”).

 
This is the third paragraph from the article at the link in full.
 
“DSL service works through ordinary copper telephone wiring. In fact, a single pair
of phone wires can carry voice and data transmissions simultaneously-you can
talk on the phone and surf the Web at the same time on the same line. DSL works
by splitting the phone line into two frequency ranges; frequencies below 4kHz are
reserved for voice, and those above that for data.”
 
The article is from 2000, everything has been improved since then.

On the good news side:
As of Tuesday I’m in the general group able to get my booster (third) shot. I kept catching the tag end of the news casts stating it and didn’t get it confirmed until today. I’m walking in to the pharmacy tomorrow at its 10:00 A.M. opening.

Cleo only used a fly swatter?!!! So where is her bazooka or AK-75?

If she were a frog, she could have used her tongue. But as a waiter, she had to accept the least lethal option. I hope they tip well!

Gooood boy.

I’m one of the rare exceptions who admit whenever they’re wrong – and sometimes shut up even when they’re right for peace’s sake.
Fortunately, the latter is not necessary with my husband.
