"The girl from the bank called":hyper:
"I know - she called me"
"What did she want? ":hyper::hyper:
"She called you, didn't she?"
Yes - but what did she want?:hyper:
Doesn't matter - I've fixed it.
Fixed what?:hyper::hyper:
I said, I've fixed it.
How much did it cost?:hyper::hyper:
How much did what cost??
The drainage shaft in the front garden?:eek::eek:
It's paid for. I told you 3 weeks ago.
But how does it look? :eek::eek:
Who cares? Do you want me to call Versace and Gucci to see if it meets their standards of natural beauty?

yes. California is famous for passing 'propositions' to control / outlaw pretty much anything the spaced out weirdos can think up.
as a result, hydro-electric plants demolished - since the dam blocked river access to spawning fish , , , that no long go there....
nuclear power station shut down - well, just because....

bit it gets funnier than that . . .

once upon a week, California Governor railed/berated the whole state for not buying more electric vehicles.
one week later, California put out an urgent public notice demanding people stop charging their electric vehicles because the electric grid was collapsing under the load.

This country may well have issues due to more electric vehicles but no upgrade for the energy grid.

Agreed. I have survived two cancers thanks to early detection and I have third one at the moment. Luckily it is not aggressive since it is inoperable and untreatable. The oncologist thinks Something other than the cancer will do me in. So I ignore it. At my age I ignore a lot of things.

My grandfather was treated for prostate cancer at the age of 90. When he died 3 years later, he was in remission. It wasn't his cancer that killed him but his heart finally giving up.

In the majority of prostate cancer in older men, late 60s onward, something else gets them before the prostate cancer.

They treated my grandfather for whatever reason. (He was very active and fit,.) It was diagnosed the day before his 90th birthday. He had treatment and was in remission at the time of his passing.
