Not familiar with Scottish institutions: is this how they are actually “debating”: like in many countries: by not being here…?

So Cool. Looks like suburban California. Very tidy and white with a lawn. I have only been to Lyon for work and envision France as more old world. That program is fun. Thanks
 
Being frugal again, so not heating living room due to high ceiling. Winter heating.
Down jacket and valve amplification.
Was 5 C, now 10 C at MLP.

(Plus finally got a phone with a decent camera. Yowsa.)

My very cheap smartphone has a decidedly indecent camera. :(
 
Just got a Xiaomi 14 on sale. The pic is no 3. Only had phones with shit cameras til now. Will save the difference in cost by not heating my living room this winter.
New phone and good for the planet. Win, win.

Only cool in summer ) winter is a real hell here....))
 
When I heard and saw the news of the fire (still going?), my heart ached and my deepest sympathy.

During 2013 - 2018, I was staying in Research Triangle area near La Jolla, northern San Diego, and I visited LA including the presently fired areas several times driving my car. Really beautiful places and nice people...

Thanks. San Gabriel Valley was my home for most of my life. I only recently moved to Idaho. Seeing Altadena leveled is surreal. I spent decades biking through that area. So thankful my sister and her family are safe. But seeing that beautiful area destroyed and families homeless is heartbreaking.

EDIT: And I think the winds have calmed and the major damage is done. Some spot-fires, but there’s really nothing left to burn at this point.
