    5=1, you told us at the start!
  3. In case of emergency, break glass.
  4. There’s an N missing in the video title.
  5. Saltbush fed mutton is very tasty. Those animals are fairly lean.

  7. That must have been a fast horse and cart!
  8. Extent of winter sea ice in the Arctic has been stable for the last 20 years.
  9. My wife's new Corolla Cross Hybrid has automatic parking. You park beside the space then press a button. But she found out you first have to tell it whether you are doing parallel parking or nose- in, and whether to the left or the right.

  15. Speaking of old bikes, my club holds a really great swap meet.
  16. This is what four cue bits looks like.
  17. If we didn’t have power you could really talk about death and destruction!
  18. In the last week or two there has been a notable change in press reporting and public statements from authorities. We seem to have crossed the hump of climate craziness and now there is an acknowledgement that we will need oil and gas for decades to come. Australian governments are rushing to catch up. Larry Fink of Black Rock has changed his investment direction. There is hope!
