Wait! So – at the end of a rainbow – where you used to find a pot of gold – you now encounter a tornado? Things have really gone to seed under this government.
I don’t put bottled water in the fridge, or my Brita pitcher when I had one. I’ve occasionally asked for tap water in restaurants.
While I rarely drink soda, I do prefer it refrigerated, but if the only cooling option is putting ice cubes in it, I’ve been known to have a Coke straight out of the car.
You can call me crazy. I don’t care… you won’t be the first.
I had a summer of working in the field when every lunch was out of a hot trunk. Coke and Pepsi taste terrible warmed up. Seven-up and RC Cola aren’t too bad. Best is Dr. Pepper.
I don’t drink them actually hot, if I can avoid it.
I just meant normal car-ish temperature.
If it’s a hot day, and they’re actually hot, and there’s no cooler to put them in… I’d rather drink the warm bottled water than a soft drink… but whatever.
I don’t like most soft drinks anyway, so I’ll take a warm Coke or Dr. Pepper over some of the others cold.
Like root beer. I can’t imagine why people drink that.
Root beer doesn’t need help. It’s great as it is! 🙂
But it’s also great with ice cream, especially when there’s a lot of ice cream and you stir it in really well until it’s sort of melted!
I drink a Coke if I buy a hot dog at Costco, which isn’t often, but it comes with it.. or maybe on the rare occasion I’m somewhere where someone offers me a soft drink out of a cooler.
The last 12-pack I bought was on sale for $4, so you know it was long ago. I’d put 2 in the fridge, 2 more when they were gone. The last few got so old they leaked, and I threw them away
I would have painted it in less rattler-ish colors, but I think it’s clever.
If you drive from here out towards what we call the west county, you pass dairy farms, vineyards, small country properties, and bits of redwood forest, and a popular decoration for all this stuff is planters made of inside-out tires, usually with zig-zag edges.
When I was learning maths I was taught that this kind of presentation of a maths problem is lazy. Any parts that either need to be done before others, or are grouped, should be in brackets to denote this.
So I would jot this down, assuming I’m working through a problem as:
(5×5) – 5 + (5/5) = ?
Then rearrange to become:
(5×5) + (5/5) – 5 = ?
Every time we have these I say they’re impossible without parentheses… Especially because kids are taught differently now from when I learned.
It’s easy to get A or C, though to me C is most correct. I can’t get B or D right now… But some people might get 23 [25 minus 2], or 19 [25 minus 6] and none are right or wrong without the problem being correctly specified.
Arfside’s answer is correct. Just for fun, I used my calculator (TI36X Solar) and came up with the same answer. Interesting that it’s smart enough to do it according to PEDMAS when the “=” sign is pressed.
My goddaughter took this photo of a laughing gull in Texas. I got curious so I went to Wikipedia and found the video.

Hey, Mr. Leprechaun – your rainbow is leaking!
And speaking of leprechauns, is this a truck load of gold?

If they are really specific to Siberia, I can see why they might tend toward fluffiness.
I’ve had fluffy cats, I can confirm this is the case with respect to the body/fluff ratio.

I must be really healthy.
I hate ice in my drinks, including ice water.

Where do you buy a car full of Coke (and how do you carry it)?

Like root beer. I can’t imagine why people drink that.
And then you add a scoop of vanilla ice cream and a tablespoon of chocolate syrup……..Grand!
Maybe to a Dr. Pepper, though I’ve never tried it. Or cream soda.
Doesn’t go well with Coke.
Nothing could help a root beer.

But it’s also great with ice cream, especially when there’s a lot of ice cream and you stir it in really well until it’s sort of melted!
Thanks anyway….
Nope. I want my water cold, flavored, and carbonated.
Ice cold. Extra ice. (Although I’ve knocked off the sodas almost completely – too much sugar, usually too much caffeine, etc.)

Snowball Earth.
The mark of Zorro!
So who took the photo?
Zoltan…(of the planet Twylo)

Some very creative type setting if that was real.

Beautiful job on the bindings.
You may not judge those books by their covers, but you are able to tell their names instantly.

Buddy!

This wouldn’t be my first choice for a garden decoration!
Well sure, who wouldn’t have a use for a spare set of tires, or even snow tires?
I like it!

The snake would be a cool addition.

Nary a one. I’m sure somebody here watched all those sitcoms (or whatever), but it wasn’t me.
Sure. George, Margaret, Wesley, Pat, Fred, and Florence. There. Got anything else that needs naming?
Oddly enough, I can’t remember/recognize any of them.

In HEELS!

I’m sure they’re built level, not slanted upwards like the camera would have you think.
Scary looking, but better than what looks like the unsupported ones that slid down in the bottom set of pictures.
I wouldn’t like it… but I’d try to remind myself that I cross bridges in a car, which weighs s lot more than a few people.
The bottom set were from the 1976 movie “earthquake”
No way in hell.
“Get a house overlooking the valley” they said.

Exactly.

Oh good.
Or I should say “Phew!”
Got one actor and the movie right.
Got all but the actress.
Gawd, they were all young back then…!
Male Wood Duck.
Looking quite robust and well fed.
That’s a great job of carving!
Oh, wait. I thought you stated wooden duck.
Sorry.
I’ve seen ones that are that well carved!
Recipe please.

…
For some reason the photo I wanted to post won’t.
Seagulls – I loved the Disney version in “Finding Nemo” – Mine! Mine! Mine!
I remember eating outdoors at the beach, throwing French fries up in the air and watching seagulls crash into each other trying to grab them.
“a Republic picture”? I’d have thought it would have been “a Repuplic picture”.
