    A hotel safety tip?

    I guess that depends on the area the hotel is located and who you are. I'm a 6'4 man so I'm probably a lot less vulnerable to being jumped than a 5'2 woman. That said if somewhere felt like the kind of area I'd need to stay indoors after dark I probably wouldn't want to stay there anyway. I've...

    Sale of 43 Catholic church properties to settle abuse victims claims

    If an adult man were caught with a prostitute because he was forbidden to marry that would be one thing. But to say that because you can't have a wife you're going to violate a child defies even the wildest semblance of reason. It's not like there aren't multiple other ways to deal with the...

    A hotel safety tip?

    Double lock the door whenever you're in the room. Unless you really want a patio area don't stay at ground level if you can help it, and if you must make sure you keep all exterior doors and windows locked.

    Driving tests

    It would be a disaster. The system can hardly cope with the number of people taking their test for the first time, let alone adding thousands of retests to the mix. It might make some sense to renew licenses every 10 years and require people who meet a certain criteria to retake the test. Maybe...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    I'm going for a longer walk this morning. My wife has a couple of things she wants to do so I'll walk further and faster.

    The most value for your money

    My electrical continuity tester cost me about $25 and has allowed me to trace just about every single circuit in my house. I also have an electrical multimeter that is suitable for use on live circuits that has come in handy as well. It was maybe $80 but that was a long time ago. The ceiling...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Got new internet installed last night. Now it's super fast, which is nice. Also got all the exterior wall studs shimmed to more or less an even surface in the room I'm fixing up. This morning I went for a run before it got hot. The latter part (before it got hot) failed miserably and I ended up...

    Lämmchen's Workout Thread

    It needs to be contained... what I had was in a pot. I think if you want to grow it in the ground you need to figure out how far you want it to spread and line a trench with concrete blocks, and only then introduce the bamboo. If you left any gaps between the blocks the chances are the bamboo...

    Bamboo is fun. I had some growing in a pot at my last house. I couldn't take it with us when we moved (long story) so left it there for the next residents. I wonder if they still have it.

    Lost Pets?

    I don't get people letting pets outside if there's no way to contain them. Especially when the pet is an aggressive dog. A couple of times I've drawn my knife on dogs when I've been out walking, usually as a precaution but one particular time I really thought I was going to end up having to use...

    Even on a cooler day like today the humidity makes running hard for me. I'm sticking with the 5-mile loop rather than the longer loops but doing it more often. Today I ran in the morning and then walked in the evening with my wife. Weather permitting I'll run again on Monday.

    Buy me that!

    A honking great pile of gold bars. Then I could sell them to fund a far more exuberant lifestyle than my current budget will support.

    Lost Pets?

    Our cat was one that a friend found. She took it in to keep it safe but couldn't keep it long term so now we have it.

    Hikers of CH,

    Nothing hugely scary or weird, I've come across a few rattlesnakes. Once I saw something cross the trail 100 yards or so in front of me and couldn't figure out what it was - it was like an oversized cat. It might have been a bobcat, I couldn't be sure. Another time something leaped from the...

    So... What are YOU doing? - Part 8

    Pressing on with fixing up the next room on the list. I've got power cables run around about half the room, most of the ceiing pulled down and insulation put into place, and most of the insulation panels cut and fitted to the wall spaces now. I've got one full strip I need to finish and a single...

    The summer humidity is really wrecking my running times. I'm 30-45 seconds per mile slower than my winter runs and really struggling to keep my pulse down in the heat. I'm usually OK for 2-3 miles and then need to slow the pace a little or take more walk breaks. Still, I keep plodding on running...

    Unborn child counted as a passenger?

    Yes, I think I made it quite clear there's no dispute over whether HOV regulations take a position on whether a fetus is a bunch of cells or a living human. Hence the question about exactly what definitions should be used. Many legal quirks arise from situations that either weren't considered...

    10-year-old girl travels to Indiana for abortion

    I added the word "arguably" because there are so many opinions on what is too strict and too loose where regulations are concerned. There are quite a few positions that many would regard as reasonable. I'm not even sure that it's as simple as saying "the pro-abortion crowd" as if people who...
