Reminds me of a dirty trick we pulled on a college classmate. He had written a class paper on land use for a forestry class. We got a hold of it and the typewriter he wrote it on and typed up a page, inserting it in the end of his work. The page said something to the effect to "cut down all the trees and make it into a parking lot." His professor was not amused, neither was he, but he got over it.
Reminds me of the wedding ceremony for one of my nephews. It was held outdoors at a facility across the road from an apple orchard. Apple orchards have bee hives to help with pollination and since wedding ceremonies include flowers, you can figure out what soon happened. I think the presiding minister was actually stung. We all retreated indoors and the wedding continued safely away from marauding honeybees.
Reminds me of when I was a kid, a bar/restaurant down the street from me had a flat roof and two nasty, barking "Dobies" were on it. Good thing they were on the roof and to my knowledge, never jumped off to chase after me.
I remember my Army training for battlefield 1st aid. It included how to treat what was called a "sucking chest wound" when the lungs/chest were hit. The first aid bandage packs were lined with metal foil and we were taught how to turn them inside out and create a seal to the wound. Fortunately I never had to try that procedure.
Reminds me of my botany professor Fay Hyland at the University of Maine. You could show him a picture of something or the real thing and he's tell you what it was, it's Latin name, and where is grows.
^^^^^^ Probably not any more fun or challenging. The worst part is the forced obsolescence we get when advancing to the next operating system. Wish I could still play the older Wolfensteins on my Mac OSX.
I guess most of us have a stereotype idea that England is flat land. There is a lady from York at our church who sent me a card from there when she visited her former homeland. Nice hills and such. Something I miss here in SW FL.
Interesting. Never heard of that before. My maternal Grandfather was a combat surgeon in WW1. He told me about how the maggots (fly larvae) kept wounds cleaner than they could in the hospitals.
