    That has to suck if you’re driving on that road in the morning. Sun being straight in your eyes. I remember that happened to me once and I ended up crossing a red light.

    Geeee, I didn’t know it. That’s cool.
    Why not going back to Stonehenge entirely and restore human sacrifices? I can provide a list of candidates to the honourable office, if it may help.
    But you need to hurry because the precession of the equinoxes is going to change it sooner or later.

    Molly’s intro was dismal. It’s like she didn’t know what she was reading and just raced through it just to get it over with. Too bad, because the words written for her were quite nice.

    It would have been better to have put Leah in front of the camera instead.

  74. Fantastic! In all my years living there I never knew this phenomenon existed!

    PLEASE slow down - it was virtually impossible to understand this this gal who spoke way too fast and didn’t seem very interested in that fact that she is communicating! That means that half her job is making sure that people understand what she is saying - her job is not just to get out the words. My suggestion is that she speak slowly girl - what is the rush? Too much caffeine perhaps? The object is to communicate. One of the first rules of speaking before an audience is to speak more slowly than you would in a conversation.
    Looking forward to more with improvements!

    The visual for this piece was OK but, please, slow this girl down. Her opening comments were so fast and poorly pronounced that I could hardly understand what she was saying. A little better on the presentation skills, please.

    Yea but was it intentional? That is was the Manhattan grid laid out with the 6/13, 12/13 dates in mind and if so what is the significance of those dates? Or is this another instance of people placing importance to coincidence?
