Clocked up a high score in my car today. Nothing happened, but if I was on the software team I'd be tempted to make the dash lights flash, or beep the horn just to mark the occasion :)

Looks exactly the same as my Focus. I missed all the good ones, think I bought it at 108k and looking for 108108, 109109, 110110, 123456 etc. Think it's about 128k now and I've given up, drives my OCD nuts :D
 
Yup, it's a Ford Focus diesel. Now due for a cam belt change. Good to see that they built these engines well though, maybe I'll get another 100k out of it?
 
Walked out my front door this afternoon and I see a fox .. next to my front porch just lying down hanging out.. Yawned at me and trotted away like nbd
Kind of freaked me out! Never came across one like that! Hope they don't eat cats or little Quinny dogs or anything like that!! I swear it's like nature wonderland around here lately
Buck was in my front yard earlier this morning. Vultures coyotes foxes oh my!![emoji12] and I'm in a suburb neighborhood .. Ccrazy:)

Was visiting in-laws once and saw a cougar lounging on the front porch of their trailer. They live in the foothills, and I imagine the dogs next door must have been going nuts.

It looked at us as we drove up and ninja'd.

We get various wildlife in our garden, and lately in our roof, which isn't so good. But we have a fox that comes in to our garden, bold as brass, it doesn't care if we are watching it. Squirrels too, and would you believe we had one trying to get in to our living room. Had paws up on our patio door looking at us. Very funny, and I wish I'd taken a photo.
 
Will probably be fed up with it at the end of the month, but that's what my grade 2 students are going to sing.

"We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas
We wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year
Good tidings(好消息) we bring to you and your kin(亲戚; 家族)
Good tidings for Christmas and a happy New Year"

Easy, and secular of course. :thumbsupdroid:

Foxes will attack cats and the foxes could be what attracted the cougar. They will eat fox.

We've had the buggers around in droves (fox don't pack) and we'd get one lovelorn male sitting on the utility box in the back yard coughing. It sounds like a Blue Jay with laryngitis. That's the mating call. Someone would have to get up and toss a rock at it.
The sound and speed of the noise was like water dripping and you can only take so much.
 
Someone discovered GarageBand on their Mac, and started a nightclub from it. Will find out more tomorrow.

"The Sound of Space" bar and club. Room 4, 202 Wanda Plaza, Jinan.
 
How many connections do you have on LinkedIn, and how many of those are recruitment agents?
I have a stack of about 50 of them wanting to connect with me.
 
I am in LinkedIn, but I've been ignoring it for years. Though I did use it recently to leverage my boss into creating a new job for me.

Nothing like suddenly updating your resume to get management's attention.
 
Out here in the land of fruits and nuts, people like to put a little cinnamon in their coffee pot before brewing.

The problem?

One of these days, someone is going to get hot cup of coffee...

or connecting with recruitment agents on LinkedIn haha! That always gets people wondering. I personally think recruitment agents are a waste of space and time. And most in my experience are completely unprofessional.
