Ya know, and I know I'll get flamed for this... but...

How much of NewZealanders' tax money was used to rehab one injured, runt bird. Which will probably die early or be eaten by predators, since he's a runt.

I mean, I've never actually seen a kiwi in motion before, and the story as a whole warmed my heart. But this is one, broken bird, which won't even likely reproduce.

Are these critters endangered?

The whole dynamic between the mom and son is weird. She's treating him like he's eight, and he's treating her with complete disrespect (obviously). She should start treating him like he's 19 and kick him out of the house. Having to take care of himself might do him some good.

"This is why you should not carry your phone in your pants pocket. Use a secure clip."

Malarkey. The last time I caught my dorky bat-belt cell phone holder on a door jam and the spring-loaded clip literally exploded sending the phone crashing to the ground, was when I started carrying my phone in my front pants pocket. Have never had any problems since.

When I've had to carry a larger PDA for work I either put in it my coat, shoulder bag, or briefcase. I can't stand to have a brick of a gadget sticking out from my belt, like I'm a dang cop wearing tools. I've even seen people with two or more phones on belt holders, at the same time!

Similar reason I wouldn't be caught dead wearing a bluetooth headset. I have a wired one, when I need it. If cell phone radiation causes brain cancer, why wouldn't yet another tiny transceiver, albeit of lower power, cause similar problems?

You might also notice, that the entire city council is as White as a slice of Wonder bread, but the grandmother they want to jail is likely Latino. Hmmm...

"tell us why garage conversions are a safety hazard? Seems very odd."

My hunch is for two reasons. One, the bureaucrats don't want houses to contain "too many" people, which an extra bedroom would facilitate, and two, the bureaucrats don't want "ugly vehicles" parked outside in view, by necessity.

It's all about limiting the ability of The People to arrange affordable housing, like (several people or a large family) sharing one house, and "keeping up appearances." Same reason many municipalities forbid people from drying their clothes on a line outside.

The bureaucrats who make and enforce these rules, don't ever have to worry about a roof over their head(s), or how to pay the electric bill.

"that so-called 'bedroom' doesn’t look all that old"

So, you're capable of judging the age of a room, by looking at a picture on a web site? You're sure that the flooring hasn't been replaced in 30 years? Or that the the lady doesn't just keep everything clean, tidy, and in good repair?

And Dermot, your post was spot-on! Agreed, 100%
