    Fair point. I melt in the heat. But then, we don't have rolling blackouts, so air conditioning works just fine. :)

    We always go out a couple times a year to see what that place looks like. It's always awesome.

    Just for the fun, look up the history of Florence Foster Jenkins. She used to rent out Carnegie Hall and give recitals as "special treats" for her friends. She seriously thought she was awesome. Here she is doing her famous version of Mozart: It makes me laugh every time.

    But it makes you feel like a Heman! I love splitting wood. Not 5 cord at a time, but in the spring I usually chop wood every weekend for a couple months so I have enough ready for winter.

    Why would you be burning your fireplace if the air outside the house was the same temperature as the air inside?

    No, there has simply never been someone born with vocal chords both long and loose enough to hit the lowest of notes, and with the ability to be tight and narrow enough to hit the highest notes. There are simply limitations on what the human voice is capable of. Practice can extend one's range...

    No, and I'm correct on this. How do chimneys work in standard fire places? They draw air in from the bottom. It pulls the smoke to the top and out. Where do you suppose that air is coming from? Get your fireplace going really well and it is pulling air from your house and pushing it out the chimney.

    We do hobo dinners in our fireplace sometimes. The kids think it's fun.

    Yeah, I saw that. Pain in the ass. Though it's only something like $2.75 a month for pro.

    Oh don't get me wrong, she did a fantastic job, and her high end is certainly more controlled than the movie version. The piece is simply not performable by a human voice. Too many octaves covered. It's a fun piece, though.

    She doesn't hit the lowest stuff in the same octave. In the movie it's an octave lower.

    Of course they do. They also require a permit for landscaping, but if industrious kids show up and want to work for money, I have no issue with that. I wish more teenager were doing it.

    You're against kids getting off their asses and working hard to try to earn some money? Weird.

    These guys have been doing it for three or more years. Do a great job. Don't charge much. There is no crime in my neighbourhood. This woman is mental.

    They do make a few compelling arguments. The goalies are huge, and now they do butterfly, so these huge bodies are covering most of the nets. Plus, there is no limit to the height of goalie pads, just width, so that effectively takes away the five-hole. That pretty much makes the scorable area...

    There is a group of three teenage dudes that come through offering to shovel driveways and walks for cheap. Two happened to be black. My nearest neighbour called the police as they were walking down her driveway with shovel in hand after a huge snowfall. They were going to ring her bell and ask...

    They certainly modulated it. There is no human with that range. And was hers the actual voice being used? Somehow I remembered not. Yeah, it wasn't her: https://www.traxmag.com/eric-serra-tells-the-secrets-of-the-diva-song-in-the-fifth-element/

    Something else people in Texas don't know is that fireplaces are actually terribad for heating your home. What will happen is the fireplace will draw all the heat from all other rooms in the house, thus actually making it colder in most of you house than if you didn't have a fireplace going at...
