@BowTiedTrance I'm still so down about losing Scott. I re-watch his thoughts about grief, which helps, but it doesn't soften the blow as much as I'd like. The way he suffered is the hardest part. That, and the way people turned on him.
@Grunt2A@deaflibertarian He posted that he got a lot of negative comments, and that people made a big deal that this was not his first trip to USA. Typical left wing arseholes.
@borntoraisehogs@ThrillaRilla369 Yes. 100%. The worst ever. But we found that the Illinois tollway machines would count them as quarters, so we always had some in the car.
@Anita2booksaday@BuzzPatterson@GladysGist3 You might have seen buildings built with structural insulated forms, or SIFs. They are very strong. Then again, you might have seen something shoddy they do there. Hard to say.
@Joie_Mb@BuzzPatterson Well, they have building standards, too. A 7.5 earthquake wouldn't bring down even one Japanese structure. Not a modern one, at least.
