And this is the current situation:

Ummmm, does that not put you uncomfortably close to a forest fire?
I guess it is not so bad so long as you are upwind of it...

When things get that hot, things get dried out ...  :scared:

It was already dry when I traveled through that area back in 2000

EDIT:  Oops, sorry, should of paid attention; you are not in or around Lytton.  The moderating effect of the ocean must be nice!

Local ordinances make it illegal to sit with your engine idling for longer than two minutes, so everyone turns their engines off. In the summer heat, this makes being detained by the activists doubly frustrating for the motorists as they are then not only trapped but also unable to use their AC to escape the heat.

Like I said, the activists are not exactly getting the general public on their side with this kind of disruption. They really haven't thought it through very well, even if their cause is good.

Good cause ?  :-//

Until she puts some decades behind her she has no idea !

Teach him how to solder and hold probes in tight places for you!!!  :-DD

or you could do that...   *hands you a paper towel* :o

Yes I opt for the second solution. No paper towel, but I have used old sticky notes that I recycle as cockroaches annihilators. I flattened the one I mentioned in my previous message. 2 minutes later another one landed on my forearm, I managed to get that one as well. 2 minutes later a third one again on my desk... but I failed to catch this one sadly * These buggers run SO FAST, can change direction so fast, and hide anywhere, under the computer case, under the printer, under the monitor stand, inside my wallet, under the keyboard, between paper documents, underneath my calculator, speakers....  it's difficult to get them !  :rant:

It's the first time in my life that I see these bloody insects.... I guess that's what you get for living in the country side. I see them only during very hot summer nights, when I stay up late at night with the light on and all windows opened. Then I will se 2 or 3 per night. Drives me nuts.

I can cope with flies and mosquitos, but somehow these cock roaches, I find them disgusting, I can't stand seeing them...  :--

EDIT : finally managed to got that third bastard in the end, a second ago ! It was hiding under the K/B.... now it's flat and immobile, just like his 2 brothers.  I wonder if there is some chemical or other way to trap these bastards, so that I can attract them all in one place, so they don't run all around the house...
There are electrified UV lights to get the flies.. maybe there is something to get rid of cock roaches... I hate these things so much that I am willing to spend some time researching the subject on the web, and maybe even fork out a few dollars to buy whatever product or apparatus that might help me get rid of them...

Greta Thunberg? Poor kid. Someone else is pulling her strings there and callously using her as a marionette to capitalise on most people's natural reluctance to be as harsh with a 'concerned young girl' as they would be with anyone else. The fact that she also has Aspergers syndrome and a few other 'diagnoses' makes her something of a WMD to use against state representatives. Being seen to attack her message, her perceived convictions, or to otherwise cause her distress would be a career ending move for most figures in the public eye.

The road blocking protests in Stockholm are organised by a group campaigning to 'restore the wetlands', not just in Sweden, but worldwide. I don't believe Greta is being used in connection with these protests.

Quite so. Now, if they started supergluing Jacob Rees-Mogg and friends to things they'd have the British public on side in no time at all.  >:D

You really don't like him at all, do you?

I don't know much about him, but the name itself does conjure up the image of "privileged twit!".
But then again, they are not uncommon in every country! ;D
