Who pays for the pillbox? The local council? Are they the ones collecting money for advertising, perhaps to defray their costs? Anything else would be outrageous. In fact, even THAT would be outrageous. Surely there are prohibitions against advertising signs being placed in residential zones?

Returning to “Image of the Day,” this was shot 3 miles down the beach from us. I have no idea of the story behind it, but love the photography.

What a nice upgrade for the neighborhood: a 3-D advertising board inhabited by the troll.

I had the same experience, daniel. Except that I gave in to it for closer to 24 hours. Not fun. But ‘WAY better than having covid.

I hope you meet that deadline. In the US, October is being bandied about. But who can actually predict?

Some of trump’s people showed their willingness to serve time rather than give him up, choosing instead to count on getting a pardon. In Cristina’s case, perhaps Baez and others would put up with prison time in exchange for a big cash payoff.

Evolution of language is a fascinating phenomenon. Not quite so positive when language is devolving and heading back into the Middle Ages.

Página 12 in Argentina is like FoxNews on CNN International. People who get their news from either source have a distorted view of actual facts - - or are unaware that those facts exist at all.
