I've learned that it will probably be close to 1,000 years before we ever managed to not only travel to Mars, but be able to have sustainable colonies there

The stroke I instinctively do when I get in the pool is actually the breaststroke. I'd been calling it "the frog" because it looks like the way a frog swims :lol:

I’m starting training on the breath stroke for next summers meet.
I’ve learned you should lift your head only enough to take a quick breath in competitive breath stroke or frog swimming. 8)

The senator of Oregon visited the Community Hut camp today.
Apparently, he's interested in helping this agency for the homeless.

Quick question when you have turned from green back to normal skin colour...
When you feel like you are in hulk mode inside, could this be some sort of meltdown?

My mom and went to eat at a pizza place downtown that's now over 50 years old. She told me she and my dad first went there around 42 years ago. Mom said it was the first time she ate a donair (Nova Scotian gyros).

My mom knows about the Transformer character Bumblebee. But that's because she'd seen the recent movie. She had no real interest or knowledge in the original toys or the cartoons I watched as a kid.

I think it's probably poor anger management skills , I was a lot worse when I was younger , punching brick walls & smashing up my personal property so I had nothing. I get close to throwing my PC through the window but usually just kill a mouse or a keyboard. I seem to punish myself when in a rage.

I learned that I'm most likely one of, if not the only Israeli guy in my area who knows that the US states Oklahoma, Kansas and Nebraska exist. After asking a few local people, they had never even heard the names before. One of them even thought these are names of neighbourhoods/streets in Tel Aviv.
