OK, spent a little bit of time lining this up with this administrative map of Hubei province. The largest purple patch in central China looks like it's Hanchuan (in the NE), Xiantao (Center), Honghu (SE), and Jianli (SW). The smaller purple patch just to its east looks like Daye.
Dear @theguardian.com , that headline is very easy to misread (either by swapping MP/PM or skipping a line).
MBTA seems to have received red line cars 1960-1963; just saw them sitting at the platform at Alewife.
Maybe the true way is the common (but not universal) Chinese practice of stamping date of manufacture, and then writing the shelf life in prose? (Then you actually know how old it is.)
Just a little bit different from this photo taken in Hong Kong (July 23, 2016). (Look carefully at the shadows.)
Probably not the most dangerous thing for Turkeys to do today, but crossing Mass Ave in front of the 96 bus (at Waterhouse St) probably isn't the best move.
There's a significant chance that within the next few hours Hurricane Melissa will break the 1935 record for most intense Atlantic hurricane at landfall by barometric pressure. See en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of... and www.nhc.noaa.gov
I got that sort of upgrade on a flight from SZS to IVC back in January 2016.
I report the ones that get through as spam. Most don't, since they're detected as spam already. Also the ones that address me by name usually use one of my parents' names, not mine. Some database somewhere has that, but I never give my phone number to campaigns or in my voter registration.
Before our recent move, in the suburbs of Washington DC, the (larger than bug) animals that gave gardeners trouble were deer. Now in the suburbs of Boston (and closer to the city center) it's all rabbits.
A related organizational tie, for the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harvard_Glee_Club , has five lines representing a musical staff. (It was usually worn for daytime choral concerts, but evening concerts were white tie.)
I should clarify that what I'm suspicious of is the use of intermediate colors:
Here in Maryland the next time slot where the forecast does not contain the word "thunderstorm" is Wednesday.
The difference in the final phrase between the English and the French seems interesting. I wonder how intentional it is (and if so why).
So it's the one in the middle of this photo that's hard to get in India, but the whole pods at left and right are easy to get?
