It would be interesting to know if at the conclusion of the bus journey, was there a Happy Ending?

I'm glad I didn't sign up with YouTube TV. I saw online that the price is going up. It seems to increase every year.
The list of things that are not having frequent price increases is a very small list.

Someone asked why a victim was inside a semi trailer. Well, maybe (and this really happens) the truck was hauling illegal people crossing the border. Unfortunately, this happens all the time.
I was the one who asked the question, and YES, that is the scenario that started to emerge as most likely. Thanks for bringing it up.

Yesterday I happened to see a rescue scene on Chicago Fire
The fire fighters were rescuing someone from the inside of an over turned Semi trailer, using an abrasive blade to cut the aluminum side, okay so far, but why were there Sparks coming from the cut!!!.

I know that I am a little 'slow' at my age, but I am still wondering why someone was on the inside of a semi trailer when it overturned?

41. Lisbon, Portugal has an open-air escalator (why aren't there more of these???).
The elevated portions of the Long Island Rail Road has open-air escalators flanking the stairs. Sometimes multiple sets at a station.
Of course, the question arises: why would anyone in a store want to go outside into the weather to go from one floor to another? Or if these are municipal escalators, who's going to pay for the upkeep and maintenance of them?

If you are ever in Hong Kong, check out the open air escalator from Central up to the Mid-Levels. It is more than 800 meters in length and the elevation change is more than 135 meters from bottom to top.

It's ironic that the "Delivery Agent" in the first letter is named "Raymond Charles". Even the more famous Ray Charles could 'see' that is an obvious scam. And that entire second sentence after "Hello!" is a doozy. I can see my high school English teacher having a meltdown over that run-on sentence.
The second one will be delivered by "James Brown". Would have been more believable if it was Willie Brown partnering with the VP.
Maybe the upcoming third award will be delivered by Sammy Davis, Jr.?

Being a victim of Murphy is not as bad as winning a Darwin Award.

The neighbor tends to use my water faucet to water her lawn. What happened if I put a warning sign on the faucet saying something like "DANGER! Do not use. May cause serious injury or death!". Am I in any kind of trouble for doing so?
This post makes me nostalgic for the long forgotten days of the "Big Brown Truck", "What Lens Should I Take" and "Should I Change to Mirrorless" posts.

No. Cutting the hose is vandalism and destruction of personal property.
Not if it is an illegal encroachment onto my property and theft of my utilities.
Don't overthink it. The solution is simple.

And I simply cut your hose.
Some people tiptoe around a problem. I prefer to solve a problem.Cutting the hose is no more of a blatant act than the neighbor connecting the hose to his house in the first place.
Chop the hose, message sent, problem solved.

Take a utility knife and cut the female hose connection off about 2 feet from the end of the hose. More effective than any sign will be.
