A MeFi post about “… (a) long-forgotten “hidden” rooms in houses and other buildings and (b) “dead space” in houses, e.g., large unfinished areas behind walls that are only perhaps discovered years later.”
Chock full of oddities. Like this one about a recently constructed dungeon found in old abandoned house. The house was mysteriously burned down before the police could complete their investigation.
Love this stuff.

Round and Round
My son had a great time spinning me around on this old thing.
I loved these as a kid, and even as I got older (although they became more difficult to find). I came across one about 3 years ago, but sadly it was replaced the following summer - that may have been my last ride as I’m not sure if I’ll ever have the chance to spin around on one of these again,

Someone at work today (in Canada) asked me if I was American because I spelled “colour” as “color.” I also regularly refer to temperature in Farenheit instead of Celsius now. I much prefer miles to kilometres, and I even prefer the American spelling of kilometers. Will I become more “American” the longer I live here in the US? If so, I have no idea what to expect.
I have always wanted to write a post about the adverse reactions I received when I announced that I was moving to the United States, as well as the adverse reactions I continue to receive from many Canadians who find out that I actually live in the US, but it is hard to write about it without offending either group. I feel like I’m being offensive even writing that - it is just so hard to explain. People on both sides of the border take extreme pride in their nationality, and it can be a touchy topic. Again, hard to explain.
Maybe one day I’ll figure out how to write down my thoughts on this issue.

I’m a little late to the party, but who is using Path? I love it so far - it’s basically a more private Tumblr, and it isn’t as annoying as Facebook. If you want to be pals on there, msg me with your email and I’ll add you.
