I love how the eurotwits are always telling US what to do, but they can’t even efficiently deal with unusually high/low temperatures.
Remember all the elderly French who died during a heat wave because their “families” wouldn’t postpone or cancel their all important vacations?
How much does a koran cost?

My niece lived in London last year. She went in on a large flat with a bunch of other kids (20’s). I think it was 8 people in a 3-4 bedroom apartment. They all chipped in some money to buy a pre-paid credit card that plugs into the meter in the flat. (Or something like that). That pays for the electric and heat, etc.
I forget exactly, but I think they started off with over $400 on the card and they figured that would last them the month. It lasted less than a week! Unbelievable how expensive it is over there!
And so it begins.....
I used to wonder if the homeschooling movement would eventually be like the monks of a prior age; Knowledge kept by the few who value it.
Mark Twain late in his career served as a correspondent for a New York newspaper, answering questions from readers of the paper. One woman wrote and asked him if a book made the perfect gift.
He told her a thin book could shim the leg of a wobbly table, a leather bound one could serve as a razor strop, a heavy book was good to throw at a howling cat.
We find more and more uses for books every day, don’t we?
Well, that’s one thing that Amazon Kindle won’t do.
