That thing is awesome. Where is that? Paris?
I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

Reminds me of Amsterdam, the roof lines of the buildings in the end of the clip look very Dutch. I was in Amsterdam 19 years ago, canals everywhere.

That's the Dutch flag, so it looks like you're right.

I was in Amsterdam about 40 years ago and I don't ever recall looking at rooflines. Sailors on liberty have different priorities!!! ;)   =|

Amsterdam is one of those "check it off your list" things for twentysomething guys.  :laugh:

I was through there for a day and a night while backpacking through Europe. I remember I met some Canadian guy on the train who was also traveling solo, so we teamed up. Went to the Space Cake place, and ate brownies that tasted like chocolate covered hay. Looked, but didn't partake, in very rough looking hookers in windows. The hostels were all full, but we found some old lady selling room in her attic. Up a ladder to a room with like a dozen beds and a 6' ceiling, across the street from a gay biker bar. I recall sleeping with my Buck 110 under my pillow.  :laugh:

I had much better luck with girls in Denmark, Sweden, and Spain. Comically, all American girls.

My first thought when I saw the pic was, "Gee, Ben you looked a lot like that guy from the IT guys when you were younger."

Two second later. "OH"

Boy, this has been a fast snow melt.  Six inches and 20-ish °F at bedtime last night, but as of about 3 PM, 50°F and almost all gone except in shady spots.  Melting ice in rain gutter downspouts constantly making noise as ice falls through them.

Surely, based on these temperature samples, it should be 195°F by next Wednesday.

I haven't had the TV on all day, but I wonder if there are any flash flood warnings.
