    @AndyD said: no doubt the street will eventually be levelled with the pavement, and filled with seats, shrubs & trees. That's what they did in the town where @kluurs lives; I grew up in a nearby town. Of course that happened back in the Stone Age when I was but a teenager. They closed off the street and re-landscaped to include trees, benches, etc., in an effort to make it welcoming. And to create barriers so people who had been accustomed to turning onto Lake Street from Harlem Avenue (super busy intersection) didn't do that once vehicle traffic was prohibited. Some years later, they took it all out and opened it back up to traffic. https://www.chicagotribune.com/1988/11/20/oak-park-ends-mall-days/

    Probably cheaper to go to Salvation Army and buy some there.

    Hope I do as well. My father had a big stroke three days after his big 90th birthday party. He died three days after that. Also not a bad way to go.

    Gun dog puppy owners fired cap pistols around newborn puppies to avoid raising dogs that feared gunfire years ago. I suppose they use something similar now.

    I can agree with all of it completely without the need to conjour empathy for a psychopath.

    I harvested all the basil because it was getting down into the 40s and it wasn’t going to last much longer. But the parsley is lush, still going great guns (how can I use it all?) Rosemary, sage and tarragon still fine.

    Ironically, the insurance companies haven’t figured out how to give you a safety discount for having such a high tech marvel that is auto breaking.

    @ShiroKuro Pull up the covers, SK. Sleep. It’s the best watch to get past this. It will all be over before you know it!

    A month ago, according to rumor "news" Toyota was bringing an EV with a battery that would charge quickly and be good for over 600 miles to market. A couple of days ago, the "news" was that Toyota will produce an AREV (advance range electric vehicle), battery powered, but with a small motor running a generator to charge the batteries. General Motors early EV was electric with a small motor generator, but they were poorly made and caught fire too often from what I read. Many locomotives are electrical with diesel powered generators and have been for years.

    @Axtremus said: (If you like what happened, you should pay me to travel again in 2028. ) Great photos! I won’t embarrass myself by trying to guess, although some of them I have an idea.
