Speaking of Ireland and toilets, last time I was there (note I've only been there once) I stayed at a nice little cabin/resort place... everything was dandy, the people were great, the food was terrible, the countryside was beautiful, and the cars tiny, but one thing was off. The clowns had put a coin slot device on the t.v. and the toilet at the resort/cabin. Apparently if you didn't have enough funny money change on you then you couldn't use the toilet. Still baffled by that one.

I bet you could still use the toilet...but no one would probably be happy about it if you did.

The toilets here in Japan are all like that, Marko. Although, there's only a small amount of water in the bottom. You can get heated toilet seats as well, which are awesome in the winter.

Do y'all use low flow toilets over your way?

Btw you might get a kick out of this. As you know mrs slf and I are headed to Scotland in September. She says to me the other day "Scotland isn't an island?" me "well it's on an island with england and wales.". She "I thought we were going to go under the channel" me "no sweetie that is France.". She "is Ireland an island?" me " yeah but it's got northern Ireland at the top". She "shut the fuck up. Ireland and northern Ireland are different?". Me "yeah northern Ireland is part of the UK". Her "Ireland is it's own country?"

The missus is brilliant but not much for geography!

A little money saving tip for you ...

For your next vacation, suggest the Netherlands. Then take her to Holland, MI during the tulip festival. You'll save thousands and she'll never be the wiser.

On a shitty iPhone at the moment, can't access that low flow video, I'll check that out later.

Hey SLF, why don't you and the missus renew your vows at "Edinburgh USA"...., the wedding venue in Minneapolis......., save yourself many dollars......, unless of course it's several thou to renew!!

Well I'm on the northen end of the west side... so if I choose to drive through through the down town A2 then that adds 15 minutes to anything

[DanO]

You're not far from the water plant then.

You are correct. Going through town that way would take you 30 minutes.

The massive amounts of rain lately cause problems for the water system? In new york we were told not to drink the normally excellent water there if there was major flooding.

The storms of the last couple nights have been wild. The lightning had a strobe light effect it was so numerous.

[DanO]

Not for the water system but the waste water system. Don't know why heavy rains would effect the drinking water other than changing the source water chemistry or possible power outages. We're good here.

Does anyone know if you can watch NFL Gamepass on the iPad?

Not if it uses Flash. Maybe they have an app for it though.
