I love this post! Especially since the people who make the Action Trackchair (which is what this one is) are good friends. Sending them a link to the video!!
I doubt it's harder than I think. However, having looked at this and seeing the pic of Green Boots and reading the accompanying bit there, I'm now nearly physically ill. I like living too much to think about doing something like this! And I have a pretty decent, happy, eventful, interesting- keep picking nice adjectives, they'll work- life without Everest. I will keep smiling and loving my life ThankYouVeryMuch!!! ;) Interesting article, by the way!
Well we had a student parking lot (back in the 80's in Indiana) but no reserved spots. Lot was always full. And I have almost no other memories of that parking lot! I guess it was pretty straight forward and unremarkable!
And I'm just glad that, for once, the person posting the video didn't cover up all the sweet sounds with some soundtrack. I love that you can hear the cat sounds in the background!!
I mostly don't use it because text seems simpler and cleaner to me without it. I am, however, all in favor of going back and rereading what's been written!
ps- you need to do a post on our new word here- "Leninopad"- constructed like the word for waterfall (literally Leninfall). (youtube search for Ленінопад- videos of Lenin statues being taken down all over the country. This is one of my favorites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DdBTG7PBcDw ) :)
Not really- I live in Ternopil- a city SW of Kyiv. I was in Kyiv after it got violent but stayed out of the center of town. Our city government (and probably 95% of the pop here) is composed of people who are in one of the opposition parties (well- they're not the opposition now in the new coalition government) so there never was much danger here as there was no dissent, to speak of. All rallies here (while huge) were peaceful. Right up until last Wed night when the police headquarters, prosecutor's office were torched and generally destroyed. Lots of damage done then but I stayed inside. Roads are still controlled by the self defense league who protected the demonstrators for months- we came through a checkpoint last night in a bus. That was a bit unsettling (although the young man who got on our bus to look us over was very quiet and polite). They do this to help keep the traffic police in line and to try to snag any of the former government still in the country- there's a long list of 'wanteds'. Guess the comment got long!
Interesting article, by the way!
And this comment thread made me laugh!
Loved this!
Except for Neatorama (and my other favorite fun site) I don't read the comments. Anywhere. Ever. They truly will make you despair for humanity.
