My apologies man. When compared to the actual size of the forest and the houses it was encroaching on, it's crazy. Yesterday was low humidity and 10-30mph winds which was the perfect recipe to perpetuate the fire. Luckily today, they said they have it 75% contained.
I got angry at your post because there was also a post on facebook where a guy was saying it wasn't a big deal and yada yada so then I continued to lash out at you, unfairly.
So my roommate and I have been leaving a couple pairs of shoes outside our apartment door all school year. The apartment is kinda tucked out of the way from the door and it's not a dorm style. Just a regular off campus apartment with good neighbors.
Well last night someone stole all the shoes. The one pair I had out there were trashed so I don't really get why they took them. My roomie did have a couple decent pairs taken.
Worthless thieves. I just hope they needed the shoes more than I did.
this girl who i've known since kindergarten and is a handsome woman just recently broke up with her boyfriend, and now we're on the same party bus and going to the same party after. i'm stoked
JustGoWithItDIdn't anybody understand the concept of gravity when they built this?
There is a tiny natural lake (aptly named Lac d'Avoriaz) behind the chairlift from that shot, it has overflown by a tremendous amount, no one anticipated this because it never happened before.
CliffyByroHooooly shit
I now know why every French person I know was trying to contact me with the cool pictures they took.

My apartment/full size house was broken into twice this year. fucking scuzz
I love it when Jurassic Park is on TV. I know I can watch it on on demand... but there is something about flipping through channels and seeing a movie you love start right when you reach it--commercials and all.

Sooo true. I don't know what it is but I'd rather watch a show on tv with commercials and everything rather than Netflix too. It's strange and I wish I knew why that was but idk. Just one of those things I suppose!
Just got notice that I passed an exam that I flunked on a few times before due to me making first tracks in the pow during the exam or just being ill.
If I failed I would have been kicked out out of uni, did the exam on April the 1st (yes, really) normally you get your results in 5 days but this took until today. I've been extremely stressed the last few weeks.
But now relieve just washed over me in an awesome wave....
It was a guy burning brush in an outdoor chimney despite there being a burn ban until May 13th EVERY YEAR. My brother and I noticed a lot of people burning stuff all weekend all around the area and it was only a matter of time till there was a huge fire. There was something like 9+ forest fires in NY and 3 just in our area with the one that burned 2200 acres being the worst. Luckily, it was drizzling this morning but the next few days are unseasonably warm and dry. The national guard even deployed black hawks to help the state helicopters drop water. Times like this when I wish I was a volunteer firefighter but there is something intimidating about a bunch of rednecks hanging out a firehouse but that's just what people always picture when they think volunteer firefighters.
I'm halfway through book 3, love it so far. Super pumped to have a long fantasy series that the author finished to read while i sit around and wait for george rr martin to get his poop in a group

I mean Robert Jordan kind of died before the books were finished, but shit just gets wilder and wilder. The first book was by far the slowest, I'd say.
KatcherI hate how politics pitches people against one another.
Yeah, everything on my facebook has gone to shit recently.
British politics right now is the worst.
We have the labour party, traditionally left wing, advocating right-wing economics and trying to please business owners (hint: they aren't pleased); and we have the conservative party, still right wing, advocating right-wing economics and trying to tell the plebs that they have their interests at heart, while pledging to reduce inheritance tax (a tax that only effects the rich).
This election has shown how weakness of the pool of career politicians, and the peoples lack of faith in a corrupt and self-serving system. Change is necessary, but everyone is conservative (ideology, not party) and naturally averse to change, so it won't happen. Hell we even tried to vote out (the abysmal) first past the post, albeit for a relatively poor-yet-heaps-better alternative, and only 32% voted yes.
The only positive is we have laws that prevent campaigning after the election is over. No more adverts (TV ads are banned anyway), no more placards, no more spam mail. This time tomorrow, it'll all be over.

Try living in Scotland dude, the SNP supporters are the fucking worst
CliffyByroTry living in Scotland dude, the SNP supporters are the fucking worst
Right now I'm relatively pleased for the SNPs success. Nothing against Scotland (after all, I'm Scottish), but if they do even half as well as predicted they'll drastically erode Labour's power when it comes to national government forming. Such is the absurdity of our system that I would like a left-wing party to succeed to benefit a right-wing party. (Americans: SNP are Scotish nationalists, only contesting seats in Scotland.)
That said, for Scottish parliament elections, I really feel for you. At least the referendum has happened.

Calgary just broke a 44 year Conservative government by voting in an NDP majority. People are losing their shit right now freaking out over implications of raising corporate taxes and what will happen to the oil and gas industry. Yet the conservatives shit the bed over the last 5 years consistently. I just hate how close minded and rude people become as soon as it comes to politics.
