Nice timing, having had sushi for dinner tonight and all. Reminds me of the conveyor sushi place we ate at in London, it was the same sort of place. I wonder if there are any conveyor sushi places in Vancouver...

The Leaning Tower of Pisa needs to get with the program.


Apparently, there is a church steeple in Germany that is leaning at a stronger angle than the famed Tower.


Now I have to add Schiefer Turm von Suurhusen to my list of totally-cool-buildings-I'd-love-to-visit-sometime.

What a beautiful love story. And what a absolute tragedy that they had/will have to leave their homes to find peace and acceptance.


I do hope they can find a new home in Europe. And to the Israelis and Palestinians who couldn't accept the love that defies borders? Psha!

Construction of the World's Highest Bridge. Wow. Might have to add Millau to my list of places to see if and when I get myself over to Southern France....

Must go to bed. So tired. But..... we're so close to taking the Senate too. Just Montana's Tester & Virginia's Webb. So close. All these years we liberals have ended up on the bottom. But today, the Republicans lost control of the House. Today, Nanci Pelosi became the first female House Speaker. And today, Democrat incumbents held onto their seats... while so many Republican incumbents lost theirs. Given my news of yesterday, today has been a bit of good news.

So will I stay up or will I sleep? I don't know, really. But I will post another video. Because this one I think is equally important.
