We have a lot of sprawl here and the reasons are many. Just like Dallas and LA, we have a ton of road infrastructure and zoning laws that eat up a lot of land. We also don't have any natural barriers, like an ocean or a mountain range, to limit our expansion. Just to keep building and add another lane. Thanks for asking.

Marchetti intended the constant to be 1 hour round trip, so a half-hour commute one-way. It's an important distinction, since here in Atlanta the exurban commuter is clocking in at 1.5 hours or more into the city, well outside of what is considered tolerable. Multiply that by a million and you get some irritated people.

Weather Channel just reported a 6 foot peak in Hawaii. It was the 1st time in over a decade they sounded the tsunami sirens.

I have two theories. Section 31 was terrible at recruiting covert ops and we've seen their blundering over and over again on the small screen. Or, they were very good at covert ops and we've only seen the few times they misjudged the morality of their operatives.

I'm a carpenter. If I do my job well, you won't know I was there at all.

Wasn't the genome sequencing in 2010 to determine just how the hell he wasn't suffering from his epic substance abuse? So that we could get some of that Ozzy sauce and party til we drop, of course. Did Keith Richards ever do the same?

This is an astute answer. Bravo.

As I was reading the article, I had to keep checking the URL to make sure I wasn't on the Onion. Is the BBC doing satire now?

Will do, thanks.

I'm going to watch but I have to wait until it has been fully released. I can't carry a narrative on a corporate schedule. I hope that it still reads positively for Disney Plus analytics and rewards those involved.
