It might be indicating that it's one University of California campus built, so not including new private schools in the state. UC Channel Islands, I believe.

I love that when folks were deciding what the most important items were for a time capsule, someone was like, "Coffee. Coffee is life." Some things are eternal.

Some people are illiterate because the education system failed them or other circumstances. Some people are literate and still dumb.

"The image above shows a 1.2-cm (0.47-in) aluminum sphere striking a seven inch (18 cm) thick aluminum plate at a velocity of 6.8 km/s (4.2 miles per second), giving some idea of the destructive power of hypervelocity impacts." http://www.gizmag.com/space-debris-kessler-syndrome-nasa-debrisat/24911/

I lean toward neutral colored cars--browns, greys--and rural homes--dusty back roads, windy, mountain roads--so I just always turn my headlights on. It doesn't hurt anything and increases the visibility of my vehicle for other drivers.

Yes, wolves go for the throat. Yes, it's a sensitive spot. Yes, protecting it would be smart. Yes, bleeding is hard to stop. Yes, if bleeding doesn't stop, the animal will die. But how do we know that the wolf in the photograph is pretending to be scared while protecting the throat of the other wolf? If there were a third wolf, would it protect the second wolf's throat? Would a pack of wolves line up like an Awkward Family Photo?

My grandma will sew you a quilt, make you a mean grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup, then pass out on the couch watching Jeopardy after a bottle of wine.

He looks like the dude that got my roommate pregnant and left town in the middle of the night owing me fifty bucks about ten years ago.

Pregnancy is considered full-term thirty-eight to forty weeks from the date of your last period, so... two weeks before New Years to thirty-eight weeks is September 9th... But a last menstrual one week until forty weeks gestation is October 1st. And pre-term babies.... There are like six September birthdays in my family and the one thing I know is there is one good way to stay warm on cold January nights.

I mean, yeah...actually DYING is pretty much the ultimate victim, but I kind of get what she's trying to say. Someone I love recently died and, sometimes, between being dead and being left behind, I think she got the better end of the bargain. Yeah, it's selfish. But I have to live the rest of my life without her and I'm PISSED.

In Oregon, water is considered public property so there are laws about collecting rainwater. A man was jailed and fined not too long for doing so. HOWEVER, when the media reported this, they often failed to mention that he collected something like 13 million gallons in reservoirs on his property. It is within legal parameters to have a smaller sort of rainwater collection system.
