Marvellous! Wonderful!, and the daughter has a nice smile.

The basic idea behind Hobbiton.

...And what evil genius came up with the dreaded TORX?!

Had a teacher in grade school who said: "Keep your eyebrows up - you can't be angry or sad when your eyebrows are up." Pulls your whole face up and a smile is the natural balance.

Untied States? What an amazingly appropriate typo!Oh yeah, Franklin's interesting, too.

Calling Robert Heinlein!

I was expected to help wash the dinner dishes, with my sister. I mowed the lawn in Summer, raked leaves in Autumn, shovelled the snow in Winter. And I got an allowance. Grew up hard-working and well-adjusted.

Mmmmm . . .Mosquitoville!

Freya, you're faster than I am. My first thought was 'they are way too polite with their little plaques'. Better would be "Stupid Ass On Bicycle", or "Ignorant Mother."

Watch out! Beavers kill trees - supposedly for making dams, but really just for something to do. And whenever they do make a dam, it creates unsightly flooding, over farmers' fields and people's backyards. Not fun.

Meanwhile, have a look at Heinlein's original book, same title. It's fascinating, and, when I was eleven, I found it amazing. Dragged me into Science Fiction by my eyeballs!

Is there a version that takes, oh, maybe twenty minutes to show 3000 years? This one made my eyes hurt. And the art isn't in any order that would teach anyone anything.

I would make an arrangement with the delivery guys to re-route to the nearest shelter, orphanage, senior-home, etc.
