eld, there is a major intersection in town that's a broad 4-way stop which meets on a hill with curves. Back in the day, they used to try to guide the traffic using 'lollipops' which were round "go right" signs in the middle of the road set in a block of cement to hold them up. (They of course would regularly get run over.) We always called the intersection "the rotary". The lollipops have been gone for over 40 years replaced with lots of lane markings and signage, but townsfolk still say, "take a right at the rotary".

She got 5 As on her report card! (The car is her reward. My brother can fix anything)

I just asked my dogs what their jobs are around here. They said ‘security,’ then promptly barked at a leaf and took a 5-hour nap. Impressive work ethic.

April 25 is ANZAC Day in Australia and New Zealand, the equivalent of the US Veterans’ Day. It was chosen because on April 25, 1915. the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps stormed the beaches at Gallipoli in what was ultimately a failed camapign to take the Gallipoli Peninsula from the Turks led by Kemal Attaturk. It was the first campaign in which there were major losses for the ANZACs. There is usually a special service held by Australian and New Zealand participants at Gallipoli on ANZAC Day, which is facilitated by the Turks, and towns all over both countries have a Dawn Service and usually a parade and wreath laying ceremony later in the day for all returned service personnel, as well as other activities commemorating the day.
