Yup. Precisely. Sad!

Interesting that Lewes was originally Lewistown and Newark was New Ark. That explains why correct pronunciation of Newark Delaware is NEW-ark, which is different from the place in NJ said NEW-irk.

Hahaha that's a good shot.

You asked that like it's a weird thing.

Do these beings look human?



Correct spelling of what?

I got a big workout and got straight to work-work, so I am not experiencing much guilt; however, I do need a shower.

"Delaware"

Correct.

Yes

Pay attention.

Daughter #1 is driving a used 2010 Corolla we bought last year. She called us the other day, frantic, that she lost her key and do we have a spare. It only came with the one key, sad. She finally found the key, but the experience made us consider buying a spare key. The Toyota dealer wants $200 for the key part plus $130 to program it. NFW. Will investigate big box hardware store options. I see the part can be bought online for about $25 but the programming part is way out of my knowledge zone.

A key for the Saturn is only $5. No programming needed. Harrumph.

They look like humans dressed for extreme cold, not "below 65" like you said was the threshold for humanity. Here are some humans dressed for bicycling into the low 30s. I was there, it was fun.

Here I am on a ride in the 30s. Had to take a layer off for climbing.

I meant to share this a couple weeks ago when somebody mentioned crows.



Red-tails have a bad reputation and other birds won't tolerate them hanging around. There were 2 or 3 others in the chase that I couldn't get into the shot.

There are non-dealer sources for keys and programming. Programming a key usually involves using a scan tool but some older cars can be done with a simple procedure which you might be able to find on-line. That car I don't know but it might be the same as a Prizm.

If you lose the key and have to pay someone to make one on-site I imagine that could get pricey.

ls01

not the point. If I'm inside where it's 65 degrees or better am I not able to feel human? I'm outside quite a lot when it is less than 65degrees and I still feel human. Just a cold human.

ls01

You guys beat me too it, cuz I was outside. In the cold. Where I must admit, I still felt human. Cold...but human.

ls01

That's horrible John, I am so sorry. I must admit though you still look human. But I guess the special clothes hide the changes.

Velo Vol 

And there's the problem.

DougRNS

is that a murder of crows?

Velo Vol 

Me, with the space heater, trying to stay human.

The local Ace Hardware can do it for $170, and they also can do a key without the remote (still needs to be programmed for anti-theft) for $89. We are getting closer to something we can consider. It’s still not Saturn territory yet.

Velo Vol 

That's from a bygone era when "value" meant something.

I like living in the past. It is/was much cheaper.

I see crows ganging up on hawks regularly around here.

And various small birds ganging up on crows and blue jays.

In my 'hood, mocking birds fight relentlessly with the local crows.

Such a hostile place. Here the birds get along just fine, except for this:
