I heard cicadas for the first time when I visited my best friend after she & her family moved to Missouri in 2015. Never saw any, but certainly heard them. They were so loud you could hear them with the doors and windows closed and the tv on. The cicadas haven't been near as loud on subsequent visits.

I literally just did a Google search about this last weekend. A friend was mentioning another friend who had this type of coffee while growing up in North Dakota. They would use the egg/shells to refresh a day old pot of coffee. I had never heard of egg coffee before, so I had to look it up.

That's a headline I never expected to read! ;^ }

Ultimate man cave, awesome build. And you are right John, the mechanical & visual effects of the TARDIS are very impressive! And, I was rather expecting someone to beam in the transporter as it looked just like one from the shows and movies. :^ }

"Shocked, Mary picked up a bottle of liquor on the way home so that she and Hilary could celebrate what she hoped had been his narrow escape." My favorite sentence of the whole article. I'm sure they needed it. This happened about a few years before I was born. I can't ever remember hearing about this incident.

According to Wiktionary , it is a Finnish word. hyppy: jump, leap, vault (gymnastics event), networking (hop) So, I guess technically, it could mean leaping or jumping into the new year.

I was thinking rabies also.

After looking at the Designboom article, I'm thinking "where's the toilet?". Found it pictured on Instagram. The partition wall between the bath & living areas obscures the toilet. It's to the left of the vanity and has a step up to access it. Definitely don't want to have balance issues while accessing the toilet. The interior design of the bus is beautiful.

Regarding calling the sport football vs soccer, definitely leaning toward soccer in this case as goldfish don't have feet ;^ }. Cool find sodiumnami!

I thoroughly enjoyed watching that video!

You need these in the NeatoShop!

Isn't the pic a coffee grinder from a previous post? Or is it doing triple duty? ;^ }

The cat owners will be cleaning cat hair off their scanners for weeks, if not longer. ;^ }

Looks like a Mylar balloon to me.
