Hi Daryl!
DS> I can't fit inside the computer. I'm not like that AARP
DS> magazine cartoon, where this guy in a hazmat suit is in the
DS> patients room, with the doctor...who tells the patient "I thought
DS> you'd like to meet our colonoscopy specialist before we
DS> minaturize him". :P
BM> Why am I thinking the Kratt Brothers? (Show on PBS Kids about two
BM> adult brothers and their friends who explore Nature and save animals by
BM> using the animal's superpower. They also have a Miniaturizer to reduce
BM> them to a size matching the animal.)
DS> The main reason I watched PBS was for "A.M. Weather", "Nova",
DS> and "Mister Rogers Neighborhood" (can you say information
DS> overload, boys and girls??) <G>.
When is Autumn here we have the TV on one of the PBS Kids stations and
so watch or aware of the programmes. A lot of dinosaurs -- suppose a
combination of fantasy mixed with education.
DS> It's a small blue sign, noting something like "To Report
DS> Problem Or Malfunction, call [toll free phone number]"...and it
DS> notes "Milepost" and "DOT ID". That way, they know exactly where
DS> the problem is...be it a malfunctioning signal, broken gate,
DS> vehicle blocking the crossing, or a problem with the train
DS> itself.
BM> Now if they only had a phone! (I'm thinking more the old days before
BM> everyone had a cell phone.)
DS> I have mine with me when I'm out and about...in case of
DS> witnessing a wreck, a railroad crossing issue, etc.
I have mine with me "just in case". Also have a small box in the glove
compartment with a charger and charging cable. ...Seems like there's a
couple other emergency items in the box but not recalling what they are
right now. Box makes it easier to find.
DS> There's usually an optical illusion, as the train is closer
DS> than it appears to be.
BM> So one could be in a real jam if see a train in the side-view mirrors!
BM> (Usually those mirrors have the warming "objects may appear closer than
BM> they appear".)
DS> In that case, you likely were told by the GPS Girl to "turn
DS> here", and ended up on the tracks. :P
That's possible! There's a walking/biking trail right next to the
entry to the parking lot of a radio station complex. The trail is paved
and maybe 10' wide and so sometimes cars intending to go into the
parking lot end up on the trail. Not sure how they do it as need to do
a couple of back-to-back 90° turns to get to the trail but they do it!
DS> Now, if insomnia hits, I work at the computer to get fatigued
DS> enough to get back to sleep.
BM> I wonder if there's a "Boring Sites" hit by the search engine?!
BM> ...Well that didn't quite work: most hits were for things to look at
BM> when bored (so anti-boredom).
DS> It isn't for lack of material on the web. :P
Lots of potentially interesting things out there!
