Lima like the bean?

Canada was still part of the British empire at the time, but looking at Wikipedia the British regiments were all actually raised and based in the British isles, so I’m not sure where the idea that they were Canadians came from. I’ve heard several times that the troops that burned Washington were of Canadian origin, usually proudly related by Canadians, and just assumed that was correct since my history classes usually didn’t spend much time on that war. It does look like at least some of the attack was in retaliation for American burnings and lootings of York and Port Dover in what was then Upper Canada, so maybe that’s where the idea comes from.

30 didn’t really bother me; I was able to delude myself that that was “basically still in my 20s.” It was when I hit 31 that I had to admit, “no, definitely in my 30s now.” Beyond that mental block, though, it really wasn’t bad. Right as I turned 30 I got a better paying job and bought my first new car, fairly sporty, so I called it my ⅓-life crisis because I felt 30 was too young to be a midlife crisis.

I think it made so much money at the box office because it was so visually stunning (for the time) and no one had made a movie like that at that point. It was very much a movie everyone said to go watch on the big screen in 3D, ideally IMAX 3D. I never did and only watched it on a DVD borrowed from my wife’s friend 6 or 7 years ago, and came away less impressed. Like, it’s fine, but the movie itself isn’t exactly the greatest story ever told, and the visuals, while groundbreaking at the time, are now pretty standard.

And be unable to use the bottle anywhere else. We already have all sorts of cup holder options for the beach; this looks like a solution in search of a problem.

The bridge was the governor’s idea to celebrate the state’s 150th anniversary. But it was panned by lawmakers, historic preservationists and, apparently, the public.

The bridge would have been paid for by private donations, though the state shelled out $1.5 million in planning costs.
