    Oh  LOLs   UK by any chance?

    We have had wind and rain here, threat of T-storms brewing in the mountains.  And Cardiff Half Marathon day,  The world half marathon as it was this year.

    Yep - hiding in soggy Yorkshire at the moment (deepest darkest Leeds).... I spent a couple of years in Cardiff allegedly at university, then escaped to just across the Severn for a while before migrating up north....

    I migrated from the Sunny South East of England to this Welsh mountain, when we retired. Picturesquely called "the foothills of the Brecon Beacons"   Love living here, but the weather does leave something to be desired on occasions.

    I know the feeling.  I retired from sunny Florida to extreme western New York State.  We get to see the stars about 10 days a year.  We're on the east side of the string of Great Lakes just a few miles from the east coast of Lake Erie.  Wind from the west gathers moisture as it passes over the lakes (they'd be seas in any other country), then the moisture laden air rises a bit over the hills and drops the moisture as rain in the summer and snow in the winter.  Although as places go, this isn't too bad geologically.  We don't have earthquakes, we don't have major tornadoes.  We don't have forest fires or tsunamis.  We don't have sinkholes, or droughts or major floods.  We don't have avalanches or mud slides.  We don't have nuclear power plants but get most of our power from Niagara Falls.  There is plenty of food growing all around us.  We have lakes and canyons and ski resorts.  I'm able to rent a comfortable apartment for $400/month which is only a little under the average around here.  We have a well known cultural arts facility (Chautauqua Institution http://ciweb.org/ ) with reasonably priced concerts & lectures for 9 weeks each summer (Symphonies, opera, plays, museums, world class lecturers).  So if you can't see well enough to see stars anymore anyway and don't like swiming or skiing, or mind getting wet in the summer, cold in the winter and bored out of your mind the other 43 weeks of the year and can stand living in a place where you're likely to see manure tracked into the local grocery store this isn't a bad place to retire to.

    It's been pretty unsunny in the depths of the south-east today, and the electricity keeps flickering so that my UPS gives a mightly clunk as it switches on and the fans start whirring (keeps scaring me half to death).

    Gotta say I do love living up here - I'm too used to the convenience of cities to uproot to the sticks at the moment, but Leeds is nice - I love that I can get miles away from civilisation really quickly and easily :)

    Nah!  That was the old Daleks.  Modern evolved Daleks can fly.

    Does half marathon mean people run half the distance of a marathon? It seems a bit strange :)

    ...if it wasn't for the fact I don't drive and cannot handle "real winter" anymore, sounds like a nice quiet unpretentious place (unlike how Portland is becoming).

    ....politicks been making me busy again.  Agh all the Primaries and caucuses.   Spent a good part of my day yesterday on my feet, every bone and joint from the hips on down were stiff and achy. 

    However there was a unique high point to the day that made it all worth it...

    ...nope, that is no photoshop job, It happened for real.  The little bugger flew in just over my head.

    ...well MM is almost over with me never spending so much as a dime this month. It's not that I didn't care for the offerings (loaded a tonne more stuff on the wishlist), just didn't have the spare funds, Missed all the month's freebies and special deals as well since my PC membership expired at the end of February.

    Hate being poor. Need that Megabucks to come through for me, stat!

    ...guess that's my complaint for the evening.

    it's a 'professional' flashligh  doesnt say what profession

    For professionally giving out bruises.  I have a couple like this only very big; they take 4 D-cells and they're made for swinging as much as for lighting the night.

    That's half the reason to carry a flashlight without a cutting-edge on the bezel.  The cutting edge however offers more options.

    Add a little more power and you'd have a lightsabre! enlightened

    I had another model that would deliver a big shock to an attacker.  I mean "fall on the floor and wiggle and twitch" shock.  All you had to do was get it in contact with skin or thin clothing.  The sparks and electronic crackle were a lot scarier than the sound of a lightsaber being deployed!
