^ Was in Gerona 18 years ago... or was it Lerida? There's no sauna there?

Daft Punk have called it quits. This sucks.

Damn!

At least they had almost 30 years of making great music.

Just saw their Epilogue video on Youtube.

Yeah, they had a great catalogue. I thought they were actually working on something else but I guess not. At least they went out on a good note with their last album.

I hate it when there is a really windy day on rubbish day. People put their rubbish out and the wind blows over their rubbish can and things get scattered. Then the wind starts blowing the rubbish items around everyone's yard and you have to go out and pick up everyone else's rubbish in your yard. Sometimes the wind is blowing it as you are trying to pick it up and you have to chase it.

Grammarly ads on youtube. "Writing's not easy..." Well, it can be if you learned how to spell correctly, and remember learning English (which they taught) up until 1980s. It still drives me wild to see all the "'s" on words like "I like boy's." WHAT? People still don't know that plural only requires an "s," not an apostrophe "s"? People's written English got pretty poor in the '90s, according to my sister, who was a teacher, and a friend, who is now a retired English teacher. The stories I hear...
And people are still doing it today, and you have spell check - which never even manages to catch that! That's pathetic!

You get those ads, too?
I assumed these ads only came up here in non-English speaking countries.
The fun part is I watch a lot of Youtube vids in English, some in French, a lot about Latin and Greek... and, still, Youtube thinks I'm desperate to learn basic English...

What a scam Subway has going. I bought a protein bowl for lunch today. They give you the same amount of meat and cheese that they put on a sandwich. Then you can pick from the veggies to make a salad base. Basically a sandwich minus the bread.

And then they charge you $2 more.

How strong does my back have to be, other people are a bad idea.
