An intriguing shot of a caisson in service.

What happened here?

I went to the chemist today and asked the assistant "what kills the Corona Virus?" She replied to me "Ammonia Cleaner" I said "Oh, I am sorry, I thought you worked here"

I saw this on SlashDot. It seems appropriate for here: Autonomous drone attacked soldiers in Libya all on its own To quote Harrison Ford, I've got a bad feeling about this.

If you ever try "driving" in Ecuador, you'll never complain about American drivers again.

Unfortunately, I never could produce good diary. I'm envious.

Last night's NOVA was pretty good: "Great Electric Airplane Race". A number of those vehicles could pass for a flying car.

I guess I'll have to buy 'The White Album' again.

Soft coup in progress. We're making our elections "secure". Nothing to see here folks; move along now.

Greenland is emitting toxic levels of Mercury. Sounds like a fine place. Greenland’s ice sheet is releasing huge amounts of mercury into rivers

Fusion is only twenty years away... and it always will be.
