A massive glacier collapse only two miles from Lauchernalp: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-14760353/footage-moment-swiss-blatten-glacier-collapse.html

As a Billions superfan, I found a transcript site to correct my inaccurate quote above: Bradford: Mr. Rhoades, we sent over the documents so you'd have an opportunity to vet them. That seemed the best way for all parties to ensure that an often dirty process is as pure as Crater Lake. Chuck...

AZ Snowbowl with surprising cover at this point of the season given where it stood on the map below: https://nyskiblog.com/forum/threads/arizona-snow-bowl-5-18-25.2090/

Correct! What gave it away? :eusa-think: Our band was called Free Drinks. We played "danceable new wave" covers, mainly at fraternity parties (they paid really well) around CU Boulder.

When AC/DC broke through stateside with their live album If You Want Blood and then with Highway To Hell, The Angels and Rose Tattoo got a bit of airplay in their wake. Both bands at that point had a similar sound to AC/DC, possibly because they were produced by the Vanda/Young duo. Two songs...

This may precede @Sbooker's time but I'll give it a shot. A few weeks ago at karaoke night, a young woman got up and impressively sang the Divinyls big hit from 1991. Wow did that bring back memories -- I hadn't heard or thought about them in 30 years. A quick search turned up this clip of them...

Yes but the problem seems to be native NZers who are packing up and leaving?

Something for @Harvey to aspire to in retirement!

Thanks for the explanations. A Central NY friend (now living in San Diego) and I were discussing CA gas prices a few weeks ago and he wasn't sure why other than vague "environmental mandates."

Wow, those gas prices will make you go EV. Here's what it looks like in northern NJ. Costco is 15 cents cheaper.

I wasn't aware of NZers leaving their country in sizable numbers per this Guardian article. Australia is extolled as their promised land! https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/09/leaving-new-zealand-record-departure-numbers

Can United sue the FAA for gross negligence? They must be losing a boatload of revenue. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/may/07/faa-newark-airport-communications-blackout-delays

I didn't say that the CKWS transmitter was visible, just that it was 80 miles away and our antenna picked up the signal when we pointed it north. As @EMSC noted, there's nothing to get in the way between our house and Kingston, just the flatlands north of Syracuse and the eastern end of Lake...

Wow, life in Horseheads! Growing up in the suburbs of Syracuse, we had the four networks and being hockey nutcases, our father bought an "antenna rotor" (pic below) specifically for watching Hockey Night In Canada every Saturday evening (we were big fans of the play-by-play announcer Danny...

Skippy (The Bush Kangaroo) did not hop to our shores: The expression "The Big Smoke" has likewise not migrated to the U.S. -- here's the explanation: "The Big Smoke" is an informal UK and Australian slang term for a large city, often referring to London, Sydney, or Melbourne. It can also be...

Video and pix following the 2023 renovation (with appearances by all six of the Brady kids). A shame that the new owner isn't allowed to rent it out as an Airbnb.

My fave was when Greg ditched the rest of the family pop group (The Brady 6) and transformed into Johnny Bravo.

Tony couldn't be bothered with low-brow culture like The Brady Bunch -- even though it was set only five miles from where you live!

@Sbooker, is that 50+ year-old pop-culture reference ^^ well-known in Australia?
