Shoot, I love this stuff. But unfortunately my office is awash with white noise from the HVAC system and computers.
People can stand in the doorway and talk to me and I can't hear them. They're working on the HVAC system and turned off the fans, and all of a sudden I felt alarmed and I couldn't figure out why for a couple of minutes. I could hear the hard drives of the computers. |

At work last night some very drunk man was yelling "I'M THE NUMBER ONE PETROLIUM GUY IN QUEBEC!" at his collegues repeatedly.

Very sad, but also a bit funny. My wife's grandmother is in hospital after a fall and is on lots of morphine. When my wife's mother visited yesterday she said "I'm so glad you've come to take me home. I know you paid a lot of money for this holiday for me but it's not what I expected. There aren't any coach trips and there's nothing to do all day".

This afternoon, 5th Avenue and 57th Street:
"When I was really young, I was sure there was a finite number of bricks in the world, and that we'd eventually run out." And, near Times Square yesterday evening: "Excuse me, officer- what can you tell me about the bomb threat?" |

Ah, Paris...
----------------------------- "It may be said with rough accuracy that there are three stages in the life of a strong people. First, it is a small power, and fights small powers. Then it is a great power, and fights great powers. Then it is a great power, and fights small powers, but pretends that they are great powers, in order to rekindle the ashes of its ancient emotion and vanity. After that, the next step is to become a small power itself." --GK Chesterton, "Heretics" |
