1990. Wow... Such a millennial thing to do. Lop off 10 years of a generation. ?

He's a millennial. Can even go as early as 1977. But, I think that is too early. Xers are really a small splintered group defined by being closer to how Boomers behave or how Millennials behave. But, like I said... Those two are echoes of each other. I think you really do see thr shift with the kids being born in the 1970s... SO much radically changed during the years, namely the way children were educated at the elementary education level... 1980 is definitely millennial. So much changed that year. LoL... 1984 is a millennial!

I ain't. Then again... Another name for millennial is: "Echo Boomer" because they echo their boomer parents. Your post rings true I suppose. Doomed to repeat the mess.

You're in OK. Doesn't get down -25° F there. Is garage heated, insulated? 25 year old are still the good old ones. It's the ones in last 10 years that are crap.

It is nice... But kinda sterile and cookie cutter. But quaint in a Bougie way. Not that's bad.

No. Not that I know of. But there are "Guido Dust Collectors." Ie: Mineral oil rain lamp:

http://www.winstonchurchillcanada.ca/ac_TorontoCanada.php Not sure if it's in there... Didn't comb through it.

That's a Plimsoll Line. They are different load marks for various water temps, conditions, etc... It's so they don't overload and the insurance companies lose their shirts. The AB Mark is so it can be loaded evenly bow to stern. They keep that parallel/level to the waterline. ...It keeps my load even when I am navigating treacherous waters like the North Atlantic ie: @BringBackFergy ,Tropical Freshwater ie: @Gugny or Winter North Atantic ie: @Cripple Creek...YOU DOOO NOT want to deal with Winter North Atlantic and have a full load. CC is brutal. I am not sure. Will look it up. Remember reading it. I am thinking after war? This was before Automobiles: "International Churchill Society Canada. Winston Churchill had a deep affection for Canada, which he referred to as "the linchpin of the English-speaking peoples." The City of Toronto played a special role in this Canadian connection. Churchill first visited Canada in the winter of 1900/1901."

Hello, Mr.Ebola calling from the Congo on Line #1!

Thnx! Better than any of the canned bear cams @Cripple Creek is pedaling as RealNews®!

Did NOT read it yet... Was she just oblivious to the Bison. If so, I guess we can cut the young lady some slack... She should be a little more situationally aware though! Taking a horn to the thigh can be life threatening!

Used condoms on the beach? ... No thanks! Sorry... I got the theme stuck in my head. LoL... J/K Carry on!

Opium den? Go with the: Kill two birds with one stone! ??

I'd rent a car. One of Winston Churchill's favorite drives was on the Canadian side from Fort Erie (opposite BFLo) to Niagara Falls via the Niagara Parkway. You'll have your passports, so do the loop around. Go American Side, take in American Falls. Cross @ Rainbow Bridge in Falls and take in Horseshoe Falls on Canadian Side. Drive the Niagara Parkway back south to Fort Erie, cross the Peace Bridge @ BFLo... One of my favorite drives. Good luck... So many choices!!!

Not this much poo! 10 million people live in area. That's too much poo! You like to swim at a beach, don't you? Milwaukee sells theirs as "Milorganite." @BringBackFergy likes cholera epidemics! /smh

I am just doing my job... It's the biz. One of the controlling works (lock & dam) primary mission is poo/aid in flushing and pollution control. It is why they were built... They keep bacteria levels on Southern Lake Michigan's beaches low by flushing nasties south. Those beaches & the environment are the number one benefactor of the flushing. When we close or get "reverse" flow towards the Lake (Mutha Nature's intended route that Fergy & Gugny just love to tout ad nauseam)... They almost always close the beaches (after testing of course) on Southern Lake Michigan due to public health concerns. Ecoli is the big one I believe. That's poopy in layman's term I believe. I am part buzzkill and yet with the other hand making the situation BETTER for area beaches. Take the good with the bad. At least 4 out of 10 beaches in the US aren't poo infested. I am doing my part, contrary to what BS @Gugny & @BringBackFergy say. Those two would want to live in a poo infested world. Just pick beaches with good flow. And stay away from the storm sewer outfalls. The coasts are so overcrowded nowadays... People's doodoo has to go somewhere when storms make it back up. FWIW, I am sure the EPA does allow for emergency releases of untreated sewage during storm events. Where else is it gonna go? Back up the toilet? ESSAYONS!

Worst thing is to put a modern era refrigerator in a garage. Sure way to possibly kill it, get the freezer to not play nice: "Most refrigerators will have seasonal problems if used in an unheated garage. ... If the temperature outside is cooler than therefrigerator needs to be (generally under 35 F degrees), the freezer will no longer turn on to cool the system, so anything in the freezer may thaw."

Enjoy your fecal matter. 60% of US beaches have been found to be contaminated: https://weather.com/science/environment/video/fecal-bacteria-found-at-nearly-60-percent-of-us-beaches?pl=pl-the-latest Good thing Guys like @BringBackFergy @Cripple Creek and @Gugny got me reversing the flow and flushing the poo away from the beaches of Lake Michigan... They'd want more poo on the beaches with less flushing... /smh

Same here. Wonder what a trip like that costs?

It's 20 miles. What would Uber cost?

The Canadian Side boat is the: "Hornblower" "Cave of the Winds" on the American Side is another Falls activity.

"Familiarity breeds contempt." ~Mark, 6:1-6 Americans never did hold a monopoly... By a mile. Just easy to scapegoat the "Ugly American." Other cultures far worse.

The two elevations are basically the same. That just creates a calm Black Rock Channel and separates the upper rapids where the Lake rushes into head of river at mouth. The Asian carp wouldn't need to jump. Just stay right/starboard side when going downbound into river. It's like going down a funnel rapids to left, calm right The Black Rock Channel is controlled by the Black Rock Lock. Its so calm there that the rowing crews practice and race. The current is almost 0mph. Other side of that wall... The water is rushing North down the Niagara river at 5mph. So to make 1 mile per hour up river towards Lake, a boat will have to go 6mph to get out to the Lake from the Upper Niagara. To get out to Lake via Black Rock Lock & Channel, there is no compensation needed for current and depth. Why you see (or did at one time) the sunken scow under Peace Bridge... Because the Captain took the wrong turn from the Lake. Hung Left, not right! Also: PSA... Why one should NEVER stern (rear) anchor under Peace Bridge (River side)! The vessel will flip around in swift current, weigh down and water will rush in over the stern/transom. The boat will swamp and sink. ALWAYS bow anchor under the Peace Bridge/Upper Rapids!!!!

Take a Miss Buffalo Boat Cruise. Pick it up at Naval Park just outside Erie Basin Marina... Go thru the Black Rock Lock... See where it all sparked joy for me. LoL... The technology that created Buffalo. The birth of a city. LoL... Cross over this bridge (Ferry Street, bascule bridge I believe?) by foot or car and take a walk out into Lake Erie: Onto Bird Island Pier, walk under Peace Bridge... Hike out the head of the Niagara River, mouth of the Lake:

NOT sure why this is popping into my wet noodle, but it is:
