Off Topic Part Deux

[DeadPoolX 9]

Go but just hang out in the frozen food aisle.

We have to send our wii back to Nintendo to get it fixed. One month and the files are already corrupted. I can't even get into the settings to reformat it because it won't even let us get to that part.

boo-urns.

That sucks. Sometimes console units ####### out on you. Nintendo is probably going to ship you a refurbished model, instead of fixing yours. That's pretty much SOP for console companies.

Interestingly enough, I have a launch model PS2 from 2000. It still works perfectly. Go figure.

Yeah it will be this hot now until Sept/Oct. It's 91 degrees right now (33).

We are pondering moving to some place with a milder summer.

Like Canada maybe?

I dunno... I got a sunburn in Edmonton a few years ago at CapitalEX (although my wife keeps calling it "Klondike Days"), but I've never got a sunburn in Houston. Off-hand, I'd say Houston is hotter than Edmonton any day of the week, but I still burned in the latter.

Edmonton gets hot, but it's not a humid, sticky heat like down south. Alot of homes in Edmonton don't even have A/C, as they don't need it. If it's hot in the day, it cools down by night.

Last night was Mel's first experience with an earthquake. She had laid down to take a 1 hour nap at about 7:30 p.m., and at about 8:30, the earthquake hit. It wasn't a real big one, only 5.0. But I was sitting at our big desk and had to hold her monitor so it didn't fall. I ran into the other room and she looks up at me and asks "Was that an earthquake, or did a truck hit our apartment?". She wasn't too frazzled, but Stewie (our chihuahua) certainly was.

I head "the big one" is coming to LA someday.... it will happen sooner or later, sounds scary!

Yea my original NES still works. I sent them my console so that they could fix it and not send me another model, all of my hard work in mario cart is on that machine.

If I wanted another model I would have just brought it back to Best Buy because I had a two year warranty with them.

Yeah, Edmonton can get hot, usually in July for like 2 weeks. Then its back to tolerable. But like Jill says, there is no humidity.

It can be clouded over here and partially sunny and I will burn after an hour in the sun. I guess its because the sun is almost directly overhead. In Edmonton, I could tan for hours on a 90+ day and barely tan.

I had my first earthquake experience 2-3 weeks ago while at work. Everyone walked around like nothing had happened. My eyes were bugging out of my head.

ha ha.. there are drug deals going on literally a stones throw from our street

[The_Dude 1,142]

What is it supposed to show? My area says no activity.

Yea I was thinking of going to kick down a mail box and start something.

KIDDING.

My addy is boring too, the only thing is a pothole in our neighborhood. Cool site though!

It's a place to report suspicious activity, dumping, pot holes, etc etc.

I guess a grass roots place to voice concern & issues, apparently the police are taking notice

[Kathryn41 3,205]

Our addy is also boring - no activity - and the photo is so old it doesn't even show how everything looks now - lots of changes that aren't reflected over the last few years and the tree we cut down nearly 5 years ago is still up. Wish they would update their satellite photo - our house looks like a ghost as they have superimposed one really faint photo of all the houses over top of the a photo taken before the houses in our neighbourhood were built. I live in the Twilight Zone, doododoododoododooodo . . .

I looked up Irvington just because I knew something would be going on there. There is one issue that says "the sewer's aren't for poop!"

I guess someone keeps on dropping their dog poop in her/his local sewer haha

Incoming Newbie alert!!

Finally found some archived activity near where I live. Aparently, there was a pothole near there. I searched some notoriously bad neighborhoods to see what they would have listed. Do they just post items that are too menial to report to the police or local government?
