tvordljGod i really hate it when LJ shifts my viewing style back to the default horrible business with the blue header and context menus! Just try to find where you reset it back to the viewing style you want? (i did find it eventually. it's Viewing Options").
So where was i?
Oh yes. Stupid bank robbers. Locals robbed a bank yesterday. Banks put dye packets in the bag of money which then explodes all over the money and your hands etc. The dye burst. The robbers later tried to spend the dye stained money. Convenience store clerk called the cops and they were able to track down the thieves.
Apparently there are still some communities in Nova Scotia that are dry. I.e. no alcohol and have been since 1929. I didn't realize that some areas of Canada also joined the Prohibition/temperance movement. In order for anyone in those communities to get a liquor license or open a wine store, there has to be a town vote to lift the prohibition.
Apparently this upcoming LJ search function will enable anyone to search for text contained in public entries. Already i see people locking their journals to Friends Only. I usually only do that for something work related or something that's a customized filter on occaision but i may consider going friends only. I'll think about it. I don't really have anything to hide but it's a bit intrusive isn't it? What do you all think?
And you know that gesture that you can make by thumbing your nose and waggling your fingers at someone? That is apparently called or used to be called "pulling bacon". Who knew?
ETA: Ohhh Apparently the Picton trial in BC has already done the jury selection and opening arguments were yesterday so we're already under way.
