post office

(oficina de correos)

You could not go to our small post office
It is so noisy with people speaking loudly all together that the director often asks everybody to shut up
(can you imaging a bunch of Italians speaking loudly at the same time in a small room?...)

Yes... it happens here too.... and if one person talks louder it causes a chain reaction. Everyone talks louder, then someone else tries to talk above the sound it goes up again!

Headache!

pain

Can plants feel pain? Some vegetarians say they only eat vegetables because they don't accept killing animals. But they don't mind chopping the head off a carrot. How do they know the carrot doesn't feel pain? Just be we humans didn't yet discover how plants feel pain, doesn't mean they don't feel pain.

Am I too controversial? Haha

life

(vida)

I'm with you Rick, not for anything scientists say that if they find some form of life on another planet, even a small plant, it will means that there is life

"it will mean" or "it will means"? I found both on web texts...

Example written by the same author on the same text:

"For liberals, it will mean they will rounded up at gun point and forced to invest in the free market.
For republicans it will means, the right to access to a free market will be guaranteed by allowing anyone to shoot at union bosses, socialists and health care providers who prescribe unnessary treatments. "

Your point about the meaning of. "fossick" seems right to me, Tony. But I didn't know that word is unique to Australia and New Zealand.

V8

(is read "Ve ocho")

I had contemporaneously two vehicles with V8 engines before I moved to Italy; here in Europe it is a rich's dream...

Did you know that in Venezuela DOES NOT exist a coin to pay for one liter of gasoline?
One liter costs LESS than the lowest coin denomination, wich is one cent of Venezuelan currency.

We have a very popular motor sport competition here called V8 Supercars.

Our fuel costs around $1.50 a litre, sometimes up to $1.80.

They say that it is the fastest road-legal car in the world.
Offered max. speed 268 mph (431,3 kph), but really reachs 258 mph (415,2 kph).

(BTW, where can you drive at such speed out of a special circuit?)

lungs

(pulmones)

They say that Mount Avila are the Caracas lungs.
It also protects the city against natural phenomenon; in fact, we have never had a tornado, typhoon, hurricane, etc... only some heavy rain once in a while and an earthquake every bunch of years.
Is never cold, never too hot, everything you want to visit is within a car reach; deserts, jungles, beaches, rivers, snowy mountains, flats…
Sorry that humans have lead this wonderful city to a complete degrade.

Mount Avila (the end of the Andes chain...)
Indigenas name: Waraira Repano
2765 Mts over the sea level.
The Ocean (Mar Caribe) is just behind the mountain.

I apologize for the outburst.

Seems that Caracas should be a beautiful place to live. Too bad it has been degraded, as have so many places in the world. I am happy that here where I am with my boat (Whitsunday Islands) is still a paradise.

Thanks for the pic, Tony.

I don't know why, but every time that I hear the word 'anatomy' Leonardo Da Vinci comes to my mind.
Perhaps it is for his studies of the human body?

The Australian aborigines had no writing or any documentation of their history. Everything was passed down through the generations for more than 40,000 years, by "dreamtime" stories by the elders to the young generations.

We have too much in common Rick, may be we are just normal humans.

I also used to hear the top 40 on the radio every sunday night. Now, while working, I still hearing the 60's, 70's and 80's songs on YouTube.

YouTube has become a great way for new artists to get public exposure, when in the past they would have had no opportunity.
