Poor France...
10:45pm: That country has been having an awful time lately...I'm sure we've all heard the latest and on Bastille Day of all days. It's just cruel and rather scary...where are these fucked up individuals coming from?
Well, we kind of know that...at the same time, it's important - I think - to remember that most...possibly all?...of them have been long-term residents of the country they've attacked. :O( So, I hope no-one uses this as an excuse to blame refugees.
In less depressing news, I'm not sure I've looked this up before, but if I did I forgot about it...basically I was wondering what the deal is with house numbers in the USA. Like they're so HUGE, here in Australia it goes by street ie house 1 on said street has the number 1 on it, house 1 on the other side of said street has the number 2 on it and so on and so forth.
So whenever I've heard US addresses I've always wondered how bloody long a street over there has to be that there's a number 1001 or higher on it!
Finally, I decided to ask Google about this and I finally found the answer! Houses in the US are numbered entirely differently, like houses that are 10 miles from the centre of town get the number 1000 on them, even if the street they're on only has like twenty houses on it.
As an Aussie I find this thoroughly confusing...because in some cases the house numbers will jump from like 1010 to 2000 when there's a cross street or something. WTF? Weird.
And I'm sure you were all very interested to hear about that. :OP
Of course, it has reminded me that no writing has happened yet...I've been pondered getting out a notebook or something and actually writing by hand because for some strange reason I feel like that would make it easier for me. Problem is, I don't have any lined notebooks with me, obviously I could buy one but I've got like a million in the old Box Thing back at Newtown so it seems like a waste, but I'm not going to Newtown any time soon so...
Actually that reminds me, that things are continuing with the apartment purchasing possibility...and I need to fill out this financial form thing though, I meant to do it this evening, but I got distracted doing my laundry - my last laundry and rent paying at my current Granny Flat, sniff!
Also, I haven't done any memes this week, but now it's too late, but I'll be catching up at some point.
For now though, goodnight all! And keep France in your thoughts.
