Day 6: 'A flock of sheep incongruous among the traffic on the Strand. This flock is coming from some station on the north for transport to some southern county.'

Day 5: 'That the pavement artist can gain a living is a testimony to the number of rainless days that London enjoys. Many spectators, alas, regard the entertainment as free.'

Happy 40th Anniversary to Calvin & Hobbes!

I watched that lying MF smugly assure a room full of ~50 neighbors that, despite protests, the City has a warehouse full of logged items confiscated during homeless sweeps, but nobody ever comes to claim them.

Marion Nestle has been saying this for a *very* long time. The book is an updated version of her 2006 original. If what she says sounds obvious, that's because she's trying to make nutrition really simple and approachable. I think you'd like her approach to lots of issues, esp. the food industry.

"You" are a bot. The photos are not from California. "You" are not in California.

Thanks for those details. That sounds great. We have an adequate tankless gas heater, but also surplus solar generation, so it would be nice to switch to a heat pump tank.

What a lovely little work! I liked this unashamed admission in the chapter on Commercial Value of the Art: "Applying these tests to the art we have illustrated, it would seem evident that it is wholly deficient in
commercial value."

So... do you use daytime solar generation to heat the tank and then use the hot water during evening and early morning? Also, how loud is the compressor when running?
