The three black lines on school buses serve a purpose. The bottom line is the floor of the bus. The middle line is the seat line. The top black line is the top of the seats. These lines of the bus are reinforced, but they also let firefighters know where to cut in case of an accident.
I sure never knew that!
Smart kid!
This little guy blew into my front door on the 16th of March during our recent wind storms.
The city department had placed them on the curb as a warning.
Brought him in, then called the city asking what I should do with it.
The woman I spoke to said, we'll be replacing them.

Before Roald Dahl wrote "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" (published in 1964), he had joined the Royal Air Force when World War II broke out, leading to a crash landing in North Africa in 1940. Though he survived he was plagued by headaches and returned to England in 1941. In 1942 he served at the British Embassy in Washington, D.C. and was then recruited to be an undercover agent. He ingratiated himself to the Roosevelts, and sent notes back to the British Security Coordination regarding the thoughts and opinions of Washington bigwigs.

The Eurasian Plate is considered one continent in this instance...
"It's a major tectonic plate that includes most of Europe, Russia, and parts of Asia, excluding the Arabian Peninsula, the Indian subcontinent, and areas east of the Chersky Range in eastern Siberia."
May 15, 1963. Gordon Cooper was alone.
He was sealed inside a metal capsule barely larger than a phone booth — Faith 7 — orbiting the Earth at 17,500 miles per hour. He had been up there for over a day. Twenty-two orbits. For most of the mission, everything had worked beautifully.
