Rain Lover was a horse.

I enjoy Inspector Morse. Takes me back to 1990 when I was more capable of getting things done. No internet or smart phones.

Evaporative coolers don't waste water, they put it to a very good use. In low humidity they are much more electrically efficient than refrig types. Leaving the tap on while cleaning your teeth waters water.

I have seen villages in India and Burma where one entrepreneur puts up two panels and a battery. Then people pay to come and charge up their phones.

Oh my hat!

Saltbush fed mutton is very tasty. Those animals are fairly lean.

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. She pressed the button and instead of backing and turning, it shot across the street at right angles. I was in the passenger seat, the stain will come out eventually.

It’s a Swiss Army watch

I was looking for a mens loo but all they had was ambulatory, unisex and disabled.

How can twins celebrate their birthday with a day between the birthdays?

They probably just get drunk and wear party hats like the rest of us.
