It may have been Karma. I was asked to introduce two people( new hires) to each other. I told them wrong names of each other and told them both the other was very hard of hearing. Then I had to work with them and it was a nightmare.

'Whole House Shook': Overhead Video Shows Aftermath of Train Crashing Into Garage
https://news.yahoo.com/news/whole-house-shook-overhead-video-101605138.html
It's an unusual location, but the garage and house sit at the end of a Y, a stub track that is used for turning locomotives. Obviously, the locomotive did not stop at the end of the track but ran off the end and continued into the garage.

I had the annual argument with the ladies in the office regarding opening the windows in summer. I like these women, they are (mostly) intelligent, educated, caring, funny, hard working professionals some of which juggle children/home life and work.
I respect that.
However, on this they become stubborn, irrational, idiotic monsters!
I took one of the tribal leaders to the pub (actually she drove but ...)
I said to her, I don't want conflict, I want peace and harmony with a little love thrown in.
She said.
"What if you are the only one who doesn't want the windows open?"
Right so, if enough of you think the earth is flat except me then we can alert the press? Sorry guys we had a meeting so you are going to have to change the text books.

I cannot recommend this. As for my experience: you will lose, and not only the argument.pinball1970 said:

It was just a lunch and a drink. She is intelligent but also a hot head who bears grudges.fresh_42 said:
She has a great work ethic and I respect her. A mixed bag but you have to trust people sometimes.
She said I am not a complete ***hole. Just when I am condescending.
I think that's just age, my son is only three years younger than her.
We are moving soon so all this will be moot.
At the moment I am just letting them open the windows, as wide as wide can be.
Peace and harmony, and a lot of heat.

I don't understand, normally women are always cold and want the windows closed.pinball1970 said:
But in your case, you are the one who wants the window closed? You refuse to add layers of clothing to be warm enough and prefer that the women take off pieces of clothing until ... Never mind, I got it now!

Seems like towns in western US and Canada need a more effective fire prevention/mitigation system. I've been wondering about a water storage system that could spray a curtain of water between a town and wildfire, or periodically spray a forest or brush to keep the foliage and ground moist. That of course would require millions of gallons of water.
One of my colleagues chase to stay at his house when a wildfire threatened the neighborhood. He stayed on the roof with a garden hose and sprayed the roof, fences and vegetation to prevent burning material from setting dry material on fire. He and neighbors saved several houses, as the fire burned along a gully alongside the neighborhood. Other neighborhoods weren't so fortunate.

If they would begin by building permanent firebreaks around the town, it would be a good start.Astronuc said:

My friend was getting weird looks from her WhatsApp contacts. It turns out her 6 year old daughter was accessing her account in her phone and writing weird, but credibly- adult posts like " I would like to poo at the supermarket"or, " Tell that to the cheese, you fat slob".
