Anyone else notice the fast yellow at 2:15? I wonder if they have a red-light camera there. A half-second yellow is even faster than the short yellows that El Paso is known for.

Gift Wrapping
 
Quote:

Gift wrapping is fun and necessary for many occasions, but there are the environmental costs of resource extraction, manufacture and waste disposal to be considered. You can create attractive gift wrap yourself by reusing paper, fabric or even using the Sunday comics. If you prefer buying gift wrap, look for recycled content gift wrap paper whenever you can find it.

Here are some suggestions for gift wrapping with minimal environmental impact.
Some interesting ideas here.

Larry's Truck and Electric, a junkyard for trains. Little sad but very cool stuff.;)

I love old trains. Those are all engines. I would like to see some old passenger cars. I think a few put together would make a cool house.

This would have been probably the most important event in the "history" of the human race.

"History" is in quotes because it wasn't written down.

Fascinating.
