    They could have differentiated the colors a bit better but interesting all the same.

    Only non-witches get due process.

      "in 1953, the biggest vessel to travel the Mississippi River and Illinois Waterway (at the time) managed to wind its way downtown on the Chicago River.

      This steel hull behemoth was nearly 634 feet long (193m) and 70 feet wide (21.3m) and according to a Chicago Tribune account, the freighter had only seven inches of clearance on each side at Van Buren Street."

          47% of American homes are heated with natural gas, 40% electricity (resistance + heat pumps), and about 5% each with propone and oil.

          The map matches my experience, Oil in Boston, Electricity in Northern VA, and Oil in South eastern VA. It looks like there might be a small bit of purple near this neighborhood.

                          @George-K said in Mildly interesting:

                          The average cat’s reaction time is approximately 20-70 milliseconds, which is faster than the average snake’s reaction time, 44-70 milliseconds.

                          As opposed to the average middle aged white guy’s reaction time, which is 5-7 seconds.

                            So a cat and a snake each at their slowest reaction time would be pretty much an even match, yeah?

                            Kinda like watching televised bowling.

                                  Mrs. George and I had a similar conversation a few years ago - we were talking about a musical that we saw, and I said, "I wonder if it gets boring doing the same show, night after night for six weeks...."

                                    I was active in theater in my yoot. The thing is, it isn't the same. It's always different because little things happen Monday that don't happen Tuesday. The audience applauds a line on Monday and on Tuesday, the same line lies dead. Actors forget lines and their colleagues have to adlib them back. Singing is spectacular one night and dullsville the next.

                                    Never the same.

                                    And the closing applause never gets old.
