  2. City water bill was strangely low for a few bills. After we looked closer, 0 consumption. I called the city to straighten it out. They thanked me for rectifying the issue and calling them. I wonder what failed in my meter. They said they were not going to back bill me, and to have a happy holiday. I wonder how long it could have went on, but honesty is best.

  3. There is a guy on twitter who has made some deliciously snarky comments about peloton ads (although his usual tweets are about dive bars). He had a funny tweet about this ad and the woman who chronicled her grueling yearlong journey from 116 pounds to 112.

  11. I've been doing a blog post before every Christmas ever since my blog was launched 9 yrs. ago. It is my digital "greeting card" to everyone. Each year is a different type of blog post greeting card. Sometimes I do my own Christmas haiku. So for 2019, my warm wishes to the world, with festive photos from certain corners of Canada where I've been/am: https://cyclewriteblog.wordpress.com/2019/12/01/christmas-snow-beauty-whimsy-and-deliciousness/ ?

  12. Two grocery stores in town sell deli fried chicken. Chicken from one is so salty, it is hard to eat, and chicken from the other is fine and tasty. I ask one of the folks in charge at the one store if they had complaints about the salty chicken. He indicated others had complained, and the store had passed to comments on to the supplier of the 'salty' batter. They did not get any relief, in other words they were ignored. I told him the chicken at the competitor was much nicer and not salty. His response was yes, but we have bigger chickens. I did not respond, but thought under my breath that big deal, how does size help when it is too salty to eat. Interesting how folk's minds work.

  13. Taggart to Signal is awesome. It's groomed a couple of times a week. I prefer Signal to Taggart. Fewer people at the Signal end and more trees to block the wind. There are other trails in the park, but I have never skied them. Some are groomed some are not. I have fatbiked a lot of the other trails in the county. Turpin is cool. Mike Harris is new and I mt biked it this summer. I might go over on Sat if the snow looks good. Teton Canyon is nice as well, but I have only mt biked and hiked there. Make sure you get a car with all-wheel drive. The chain law is likely to be in effect on Teton Pass. You need to have all-wheel drive or snow tires or chains.

  15. When first married we bought a small very old little mobile home already in a trailer park. We were fortunate that the park was pretty well run and we had good neighbors (luck of the draw). We lived in it our first 2 years 81-82 while we bought some land and I built our first house. It had been very well taken care and we sold it for the same amount we bought it for. So housing expenses those 2 years while saving a building was equal to utilities and lot rent. I could live just about anywhere in just about anything but WoKzoo has better standards.

  18. That is because you are a good man and the rest of us know we don't measure up. Yes, general dialogue forums are a nightmare to moderate for sure. Even reddit and YouTube have their hands full. Maybe 2020 will bring an end to the madness that permeates current culture.

  19. When my brother lived in Lomita, they had a townhouse with a 4 ft wide strip of grass across the front of the property. They were told they were responsible for their "lawn care" but not to worry about it. The guy at the end of the street was so excited to have his first yard, he went out and bought the biggest John Deere lawn tractor he could find and happily mowed the entire neighborhood!

  22. I really did not read your post, but answered based on the title. No, I would not want to live again in a mobile home park. Our current situation is different, as the home sits on the south end of 350acres. There are neighbors across the road, but there are trees and small rises, etc. between us and the neighbors. View from the front porch.

  26. Wrong kind of lever. We are going to be doing small weights on a piece of balsa wood. Calculate the forces to balance and lift. Told Graham depending how much we get done and if I can find the stuff, we might set one up for him to lift the side of my car and take a picture for his display.

  27. Time is a vector..........0 to 1 year is a year long. It does not magically spring forth as a whole year out of nothing.

  28. This. Start counting on your ten fingers beginning at zero. The tenth place is nine. Decades start at year zero and end at year nine.

  29. January 1st of 2020 will mark the first day of the 2020th year of our Lord, or of this common era, just as January 1st of 0000 marked the first day of the first year of our Lord, or of the common era. The first day belongs to the year just as much as the last day. So, to say that the year, and by extension the decade, does not exist until the last day has passed is to diminish the value of each day preceding.

  31. You may be right. It used to be that discussions in forums, debates and classrooms would lead to having ideas and opinions challenged. There was no offence taken by that. Unfortunately, online communications and anonymity lead to more radicalized statements and name calling. Discussion took the backseat.

  32. And I am trying to do my best to speak in general terms and not be a political debate. I get the no politics stance, any more, I try to avoid discussing politics because it's just to difficult to have a rational discussion to even try.

  36. I'm going to find out this morning. The weather went crazy in the northeast last night dropping unheard of amounts of snow compared to the predictions. I've been finding my snow boots and gloves this morning. The snow blower is ready to go and all I have to dig out of storage now is the 100 ft extension cord. I wish the hospital could have me wired for my stress test today instead of on the treadmill thursday.
