Procrastination in the Heat
On the way home, walking to the railway station, last night, I saw three notable personalized plates within a block. The first was DRAKE FD. Had me speculating on Mage game bleed. The second was simple and too the point, but amusingly placed on a late model sedan : A BIKER. The third was a self-explanatory N0 DOG.
This morning I ran across some things posted by someone in one of my social communities, that might be of interest to people in others, so sorry of you've already seen them.

which kumimonster brought to my attention, and finally from Pink Tentacle, we have an article on recovering gold from sewage sludge :
On January 28, sewage plant operator Nagano Prefecture Suwa Construction Office announced that approximately 1.9 kilograms (4.2 lbs) of gold can be mined from each ton of molten fly ash generated when incinerating sludge at its facility in the town of Suwa... By the end of March 2009, Suwa plans to mine a total of 5 tons of ash for a profit of 15 million yen ($167,000). The sewage operator says it will use the revenue to help pay for plant maintenance and operating costs.The facility treats about 100,000 tons of wastewater each day, generating about 3 tons of ash in the process.
I wonder if gold in one's "waste-water" is a cultural thing as, IIRC, Asian cultures like gold-plated toilets and eat gold (as a supposed health supplement) more than others. Or should we be suggesting this to our local councils?
