Looks like I have a basketball goal now. Anyone want to play some hoops?

You may need to add some barbed wire.

Loved watching the Celtics vs Pistons or Lakers during these years!! Tried watching a game with my son the other night and just could not do it. Game has changed a lot since then.

Nah, he's a 20 something man-child. Married into the house/property, to the girl that inherited it, then proceeded park a bunch of junk cars on the property. I paid for my land/house, I paid for the fence, and I'll pay for whatever else needs doing. Don't get me wrong, I fully support their right to park junk cars on their land, and I would never live in an oppressive HOA community. I do reserve the right to build fences, however.
[RHM] I believe we have a Hallowinner!

This circle of 5000km radius is centered around Paris. Because of the projection (Mercator) it looks all funny and asymmetrical.
Reminds me of a guitar pick.
Had to look "Mercator" up.
Learn something new everyday around here.....
"Mercator projection, type of map projection introduced in 1569 by Gerardus Mercator. It is often described as a cylindrical projection, but it must be derived mathematically. The meridians are equally spaced parallel vertical lines, and the parallels of latitude are parallel horizontal straight lines that are spaced farther and farther apart as their distance from the Equator increases.
The Mercator projection is widely used for navigation charts, because any straight line on a Mercator projection map is a line of constant true bearing that enables a navigator to plot a straight-line course. It is less practical for world maps, however, because the scale is distorted; areas farther away from the Equator appear disproportionately large. On a Mercator projection, for example, the landmass of Greenland appears to be greater than that of the continent of South America; in actual area, Greenland is smaller than the Arabian Peninsula."

Mercator projection | Definition, Uses, & Limitations
The Mercator projection is a map projection introduced by Flemish cartographer Gerardus Mercator in 1569. The Mercator projection is a useful navigation tool, as a straight line on a Mercator map indicates a straight course, but it is not a practical world map, because of distortion of scale...

No, no, no! Nupe!!

"Stack Rock Fort is a fort built on a small island in the Milford Haven Waterway, Pembrokeshire,
Wales. A 3-gun fort was built between 1850 and 1852, and then upgraded from 1859 to 1871
with a new building that completely encased the original gun tower. It is now a Grade II* listed
building and a scheduled monument". - Wiki

Saw part of this on imgur.
There was one reply made me laugh:
"This Rock Stacking fad is getting out of hand."
