Avalon on the island of Catalina. It's the one and only town on the island and there isn't really anywhere else to go. People use golf carts to get around. There are no gas stations on the island, so if you do have a car, you have to import your own fuel or use the marina.
Miniscule car infrastructure + laws limiting the number of cars on the island = no car culture. Bam.
Ew.
They do, and as a Canadian, they should know that fellow Canadian John Hopps invented the 1st pacemaker. He's even considered the father of biomedical engineering. I dug through trying to find out if he coined the term "heartpacer," no such luck. It sounds like a Dutch translation to me.
I think Gyrate is their best album, so check that out. The Pylon Reenactment Society, which is the lead singer with other band members, is playing in Atlanta on June 19th.
That's the part of The Hulk we are all just told to ignore.
Love Pylon
I don't mind her noises when she's in the prime universe, but her mirror universe sex-kitten shtick is very off putting.
What zone are you in?
This article focuses specifically on the warming and the depletion of oxygen in our rivers. I watched the video, but I didn't read the text. I think it is just a transcript from the video.
The best way to save any part of our environment is to get more people to engage with it. Whether that is fishing on a river, hiking through the woods, or any other outdoor activity. These activities have routinely been proven clinically to improve a person's health and well-being. If we can get more people participating in this positive feedback loop, we will have more interest and political will to protect our environment.
It's only mentioned that warming in general is causing the lack of oxygen in the rivers. Well, what is causing the warming? They mentioned sedimentation, but they don't connect that more large rain events lead to more sedimentation, more sediment in the rivers absorbs more sunlight and holds heat. They mentioned removing old dams to make the water run faster which will keep it cooler. That's a great thing to do, but we really need to focus on increasing the buffer zones between rivers and development and showing up the banks along our rivers.
MST3K or RiffTrax. Takes me back to high school.
Musically, this is not their most cohesive album. Their top 5 on Spotify is a good introduction to the hits. It's not my speed, but Uriah Heep has been consistently in my Dad's top 3 since I was a kid. He does that High Fidelity John Cusack thing where he fills empty air with "alright, top 5 70s artists in order of discovery" or something similar.
Weather Channel just reported a 6 foot peak in Hawaii. It was the 1st time in over a decade they sounded the tsunami sirens.
