  1. Wind ... or worse: was pilot error to blame for the Suez blockage? [Click] As I suspected, the Bernoullli (or venturi) effect comes into play for those big ships in a small canal. And satellite tracking shows the ship was getting out of control for 25 minutes before it ran aground.

  3. I really HATE having neighbors. Every place I've ever lived my whole life there has been at least one neighbor next door who was an absolute TERROR. That includes the one I have now. He's obsessive about his lawn, which is fine, but he extends that into being obsessive about MY lawn, which is not. Just this morning he dragooned a neighbor into knocking on my door and offering that he and the Terror would do some work in my back yard. I was nice to the go-between because he had no choice in dealing with a nutter. But I made plain that the nutter is NOT TO COME ON THIS PROPERTY FOR ANY REASON. He's been doing crap like this since 2014 and if he keeps it up I'm going to have to get a legal order of protection. Between the internet and the neighbors past and present I'm really starting to hate people!

    2. Have you considered having a junk car deposited on your front lawn and using it as a chicken coop? I might suggest a peacock coop, but they are prone to going their own way.

    3. My neighbor hating neighbor just sold out. His neighbors didn't defeat him, the road in winter did. Never so much as said HI to him, though he talked with Cooter from time to time. Sorry for the grief, Susan, that stinks, big time. ^hearts;
