And with all of the ready made meals available in supermarket shelves, people refuse to buy fresh ingredients on a regular basis nowadays for food. Also, there is the habit of eating out regularly. Who knows what all preservatives those food companies and restaurants add into your meals.

I agree. Losing 50 lbs. was quite a feat for me, went from a 40 waist to a 36, but finding it difficult to go under 36.

With all the studying I have to do, I don't have any time to deliberately exercise. Most of my physical activity involves walking around campus and my job. So, I have to rely on diet for my weight loss. Some weeks I'm successful, other weeks I lose it, like today and yesterday My biggest weaknesses are soda, juice, and rice. Those 3 probably make up at least 50% of my daily carb intake

Btw Owen, you do understand that MD-88s do not not actually have the range to fly NI - Florida.

It would get us to Canada.

We're no stranger to mindless destruction either..

I mostly agree. A lot of low-rise wooden buildings don't belong in large cities and the change has been towards the better, but a couple of old rustic blocks with low-rises and narrow streets would look cool.

This is perhaps the most terrifying example of mindless destruction of Helsinki. This house:

in the most scenic location of Helsinki was replaced by this sugar cube:

Those pictures of Leeds just make me sick. All those ugly 60's "modernist" buildings should be shipped off to Perffffffffffffffffff.

Here's what remains of old low-rise in Boston's oldest neighborhood:

Only reason still there is because on its occupants was famous. The rest of the buildings date to the end of the 19th century, that wooden one 1680. The house Ben Franklin grew up didn't fare as well:

Lovely sunny afternoon really starting to notice the stretch in the evenings.

Once it gets to sunset at 8pm we will be able to go out most of the time and not be stuck in this stupid house. Which I am totally and utterly sick of!!

Summers seem quite nice there. Long daylight hours, mild temperatures, low sun angle. That must be great for outdoor activities. Here you're usually advised to limit the time you're outside in the middle of the day in summer due to heat and sun, and if you choose to suffer through it, constantly apply copious amounts of sunblock not to get burnt . Any little area I miss gets burnt when I'm on the beach.

The models are starting to firm up on a settled spell of weather with high pressure situated over the UK. I hope this comes to fruition.
