Yep. Fer sure. Keep doing the news. Your commentary was spot on as usual too.

Thanks for the interesting selection of stories. I hadn't heard Van Gogh was addicted to licking paint brushes... that's very disturbing, as is the lead poisoning of Beethoven. Made me laugh that you left in the pause as you waited for the bike to pass, as I imagine you having to do this multiple times per video. I reckon the Philly traffic sounds add character. 🙂

The major version of copper theft we get in the UK is high voltage power lines from railways. British Transport Police and Network Rail say it costs millions of £s each year, not only in infrastructure damage but also delays to rail services. I'm still baffled now they actually manage to cut cables holding 25KVAC on the OHL system, or 750 VDC at many thousands of amps on the 3rd rail systems.

I'm always on the lookout for space books missing from my library, so This New Ocean is on it's way, £4.57 from Ebay.

Thanks again Fran!

I have an Elmo Skum Car. You can feel the brown outs in the near future. The Grid will one day be overloaded like it was in the first days of electrification. Trends have always befriended Busts in the world I have come to know. I plan to take a generator and a gas can on my little trip around the Circle Route on Vancouver Island. There's a forest fire nearby and I am planning to around being far from the Grid for an extended time.. The Tech does great things but the battery won't hold a charge.😡
