        I had one stolen out of a Honda Accord I had in Brooklyn years ago, but hadn't heard about it getting prevalent here in Austin. Shitty!

              I watched the documentary, George Carlin's American Dream twice and it was awesome to learn about his early/mid years as a showbiz guy. His latter years spelled out comedic genius that I don't think will be topped for a long time.

                  Carlin was more than a comedian, I think of him as a philosopher and almost a prophet in many ways (not including religion, more like someone who spoke essential truths to society like Bob Marley and others)

                  Our cities generally seem to be in decay, Mike. It's very sad, but then again we have had violent crime waves in the past from which we've recovered. This feels like it could be different, more along the lines of general societal collapse, what with other goings-on.

                  Think it, be it.

                    Yeah, I guess you are right. But these shootings are happening here EVERY SINGLE DAY and it is extremely disheartening to me. They closed the juvenile detention center years ago so it is pretty much lawlessness. The book these kids for violent crime and 24 hours later they're back on the street. It's really sad. These murders today were in retaliation for murders last week. All gang related.

                        Having spent a bit of time on the water with Giles, I’m seeing my home town in a new light. The Solent and Portsmouth harbour must be one of the busiest in the world and it was impressive to see the lesiure, military, commercial and transport crafts everywhere.

                        Bodø is also a working port town, and while it is on a much smaller scale all the same watercraft are in evidence.





                        The port is also home to this. One of the oldest standing buildings in town, one of a handful to survive the bombing during WWII.

                          @neph93 I just looked up some further information on the Customs House as the upper windows look to be in the style of Scottish art nouveau architect Rennie Mackintosh.
                          Cool to learn it is indeed art nouveau and designed by a chap called Søren Wiese Opsahl.
                          Lovely stuff!

                            Well done mate,  it has a plaque on it too. Another building that survived the bombing is about 2km down my street. Possibly even more interesting. Next time I walk past and it is light I’ll post it.
