What is this world coming to?????????????

An argument over shoveling led to a man attacking another man, threatening him with a gun, and barricading himself inside a Del. townhome, police said.

Although I spent my first 21 years in town, the last 55 spent where there are no sidewalks and a 100 yard driveway instead of on-street parking were more enjoyable. I sometimes wish we'd have bought more acreage farther away from town.

When I divorced and bought my place 40 miles from the nearest city, my ex sarcastically said, “Well,…you got what you Wanted! …. a Loong-Commute!”

But, …in retirement….. and Especially THESE Days….. it’s beginning to look like it wasn’t Far Enough!

Reporters don't know how to report news anymore. There is nothing about how the fight started. Just an argument over shoveling and a parking space? What was the beef? Worthless reporting. They may as well just said man arrested and charged with ....

I find all the news is like that these days. Sensationalize as much as possible. The sky is falling. How about getting back to reporting only the truth, and nothing but the truth ! They now forecast our weather precip in millimeters now, such a huge number, but when translated to inches, might be a grand total of 1/2 ".
And that is after a yellow weather watch warning. LOL

yeah, 'sillymeters' ,totally useless ! Whenever the cops want a bad guy, they say 'suspect is 6 foot 3 inches tall, 225 pounds'...never ever use the 'great' metric system. Kinda surprised women's measurements aren't report in Metric though !

We (NZ) have had the metic system since the 1970s and I'm happy not to go back to that stuff like 19/64ths and the different US vs imperial liquid measure and weights. Here most engineering materials are in metric, sometimes inch sizes stocked alongside too. BSP sizes are often still in imperial, but slowly soft-converting to metic (3/8" BSP = 10mm BSP... not hard since the old inch BSP sizes were nominal anyway). Not to mention a kg is a kg anywhere in the world :)

The one thing I can't ever see changing here is newborn babies weights... Grandmas would have to mentally compute x generations of baby weights in lb/ozs to grams. :unsure::unsure:
