  1. This building is in a densely built area (like what area in Paris or any major city in the world isn't). From current video images it looks like the two columns / towers on the west side of the building, which is the primary entrance, is still standing as is the eastern end which has the flying buttresses. The southern end of the transcept appears to still be up as well. I wouldnt doubt that the cause is a result of some of the restoration work.
  2. While this is not something that makes the world go round, it is incredible piece of architecture and engineering for its time. I hope they can contain this. As an engineer I had to catch my breath to understand the magnitude of this building.
  3. Can't vouch for the Mustang, but a Jaguar F-Type ?
  4. Many have already been mentioned (women, food, drink) - I agree on all those Fresh cut green grass, first tracks on a ski run, a solid round of golf, a good bike ride w your buddies where no one says anything but smiles and nods, seeing true emotion.
  5. If you are suggesting that UB would have more success by moving out of the MAC and into A10 or Big East and would be as or more competitive - head slap.
  6. Finely mince or grate some fresh ginger. Brew this through your coffee maker or steep in on the stove. Drink warm with some local honey added.
  7. Is there a Boy Scout troop doing a project that could re-purpose the wood? The local mountain bike club takes just about anything to build bridges, ramps, and the like on the local trails.
  8. Someone else mentioned it here - what is the fundraiser benefiting and who is the target audience? Here in Columbus some organizations have connections that have OSU football or basketball tix. Not upper deck nosebleeders, but really really good ones. Some with suite access. They raffle those off with good success. The silent auction event is a good idea. Check with your local patrons - they may be able to set up some sort of package deals. I went to my HOA and offered to paint/stain all the street and sign posts in my neighborhood (70) as a donation to my Pelotonia fundraising effort. For a little of my sweat equity, the HOA paid for the material / I got a nice donation, the neighborhood looked a bit better.
  9. Heat - 65 all time I may turn up if the house is damp, if it is really cold out, or if I have guests. A/C - 72 all time I get some good cross ventilation so I don't use a lot of ac. I run the ceiling fans when the ac is on.
  10. Surprised that no one has posted any ramen varieties - tonkotsu for me.
  11. Don't have a favorite. They are all good.
  12. The Art of Racing in the Rain - Garth Stein On Cold Mountain - Charles Frazier Anything by James Harrison
  13. Even more reason to get preventive health checks, PSA, colonoscopy, dermatology screens.
  14. Why not recast / reset it with Rob Reiner and Sally Struthers as the prime characters.
  15. I'm surprised that no one has said pickled hard boiled with some beet juice to color them red!! Some of these, along with some Landjaeger and a couple of cold ones. Now you're talking!!
  16. Mega-props there Snafu!! That's how my grandfather made eggs. Put just a little water in the pan to get the steam to cook the tops of the eggs. Take some bacon grease in the pan and baste the tops.
  17. From what I've read, food "culture" in UT is doing well. High West Distillery is one of my fav distillers. Also, if I have read the tea leaves correctly, Vail is making plays to get Olympics back into UT and possibly into CO.
  18. If you like the outdoors, then UT is a good place to be. See if you can get a combination of triple plays in - golf, bike, ski, fish.
  19. There is absolutely no way.
  20. We get some in stops and starts. 3 here, melt, 2 there, melt, 4 here, that kind of thing. The most we've gotten since I've lived here (2002) was 15 inches. One nice thing about the snow here is that it does not have a lot of moisture content to it - very dry. You can almost use a leaf blower to move it out of the way.
  21. Columbus OH - zero
  22. Learned in my mid-teens long ago on a 3 speed (yes - 3 speed) Chevy Monza. Had my permit taken away from my mother after stalling out the car 3 times on a very slight incline. Dad took me out and just let me practice on how to slip the clutch. Nailed it the next time out with mom. Then progressed to driving manual transmission fire trucks - no issues. Went to Germany fall of 2017. Realized that they now have hill assist clutches so no clutch slip. Back in 1987 went to Australia. Had to stop and think a bit to see if the pedals were reversed like the steering. When I get in a car with manual trans, my heart brightens up.
  23. Mix of multi grain and honey nut Cheerios.
  24. If I remember correctly, OSU Wexner Medical Center recently changed from Red Cross to an “outside” company for their blood supply.
  25. I live by myself and I'm getting tired of eating food that requires a spoon (soup, chili, stew, ...). I'm thinking of doing a brisket (> fork) and some mac/cheese. The unfortunate thing is that I'll have to cook the brisket it in the oven. No smoker and grill buried in snow at the moment.
