The days, and particularly the nights, have cooled here; it is time to begin to enjoy the gas fireplaces in the living room and bedroom.
I hate having to walk across the room to use the wall switch when I turn them off and on, though; I wish my TV remotes could be adapted to also control the fireplaces.

If one takes an iPad on a vacation to Europe, will it be possible to re-charge it on their power grid, or would an AC/DC adapter be needed?
Not that a vacation over there is without complications; most of the restaurants, particularly in Italy, have no restrictions on smoking, so you may be seated next to a table of 5 or 6 smokers; then how do you see your steak or read your laptop or iPad through the smoky haze anyhow?

"A Modern Girl's Guide to Networking" writes about topics from the boardroom to the bedroom, which are pursuits for women not girls.
Now, if they had a book with a title like "The Trailer Trash Guide to Messin' Around" I bet that would sell!

The disadvantage of living on the east coast is that the sunset is on the wrong side; I was always used to it being over the sea, but here it's over the trees, which just isn't quite right.

Did you know one of the Adent, the electronic version not the Christian hip hop version, started out as an engineer? Not a "build bridges" engineer, but the music kind. Their music is like House on speed. House did Vicodin I think. Speed was an awful movie can't believe Dennis Hopper agreed to do it. Probably a result of all the drugs he did in the 60's. Which sound like a fantastic time, free love and all, but one had to deal with stinky hippies, right? What kind of freedom were they looking for, freedom from soap?

Madras, also known as Chennai is called India's Detroit, though it might well be more safe than the original Detroit these days as it is one of the safer large cites in India. Safety is important in a city, because with out it, one is not safe.

I was watching an episode of "Bait Car" the other day, set in Chicago. It was the one episode that had me worrying for the safety of the cops. Crowds of kids were running around and someone sent a brick into a car window (not the bait car). It wasn't a real riot, just another night in the 'hood. ![[Eek!]](eek.gif)

Curiously enough a lot of Roman cooking was like curry, as they went in for using quite a lot of spices. Rice, however, was ruinously expensive as it had to be imported specially from India, so you wouldn't have had much of a chance to pop out for a baltius in Londinium.

Rice pudding was the favourite dessert of Lloyd George - left overnight to cook in a warm oven (after the bread had been baked). It was normally so thick that it would be eaten cold and cut into slabs like cake. Did I mention that Lloyd George knew my father?
