Oh, how cute.

Great that you got that shot.

I love the pictures!

Moar!!!

Yes, please.

How do they get those construction trailers up there?

They were renovating a building that looked like it may have been from the 40s or 50s, and they went through great effort to save the facade only. I think that's awesome. It's decent brickwork, and would be cost prohibitive today to replicate. The inside structure is completely gone and the facade is supported by all that steel.

I was walking over this way to take a gander at the line that divides the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. (at least according to 1800s USA)

This was all over by the George Washington University. And this is the time of year that the students are counting down the days until summer. And looking to make some extra cash by selling back books. When I was a student, you had to go to the bookstore to sell back your book, and they gave you around 10% of what you paid for it. Now there are numerous third parties that will buy them from you. Including a slew of hot dog vendors. "You want ketchup on that hot dog? Really, not mustard? Got a chemistry textbook to sell?" Ok. *Looks book up on laptop.* "I owe you $26 in change."

A ladder truck backing up is a jaywalker's dream.

Sorry for the shaky video quality.

I always wondered how they decided what borders to lay down between those western states. Always figured they were arbitrary and done from afar. now I know.

Agreed, very interesting. So that American meridian is about 75 degrees 3 minutes from the prime. Talk about obscure trivia. :haha:

They lift those trailers with a crane, probably they same on that lifted all that steel.. They’re not heavy but a crane is safer than a giant forklift.

We rented some our our kids' books.
There's more to it than that. On H2:

That is why, this is about how.;)

This gentleman was mowing his front yard today. With a knife, I think.

I'd just buy a weedwhacker.

The electric ones are not even that pricey, and you wouldn't need a long cord.
