Yikes, smorgs!

Was anything stolen or was it just random awfulness?

Even grandchild's homework was left in the car, as smorgs explained on the "Britain thread".

The camera's lost it's mind.

As for the gritting, this morning it's having to share a workplace with people who don't put things back where they belong (which is an issue in a room full of cabinets which in turn are full of fiddly little medical supplies) and sharing a patient with people who don't know how to keep proper records.

You're adults, people! Start acting like it!

Act like a child at home.

Using the dd/mm/yyyy format, the 30th of December 2006 would be written as 30/12/2006.

The dd/mm/yyyy format is used by:

Australia
Bangladesh
Belgium
Belarus
Bolivia
Brazil
Bulgaria
Canada (All 3 main types are used in Canada- in French and in English)
Chile
Colombia
Cyprus

Denmark (often in the fraction form d/m-y otherwise dd-mm-yyyy or dd-mm-yy)
Dominican Republic
Ecuador
El Salvador
Estonia
Finland (d.m.y)

Germany (using dots as in "d.m.(yy)yy", but most often "d. month.(yy)yy")
Greece
Guyana
Hong Kong (in English)
Iceland

India
Israel
Italy
Kenya
Latvia (dd.mm.yyyy is used more often, but official standard is year-month-day)
Macau (in Portuguese & English)
Malaysia

Note that '9/11' can refer to both 'The fall of the Berlin Wall' on 9 November 1989 and to the 11 September 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center in the USA. '9/11' may also refer to the Chilean coup of 1973.

A while back (quite a while now) I drove through a neighborhood in south San Francisco where every car -- hundreds of 'em -- along the central street had had it's rear and driver's side windows smashed.

What a pointless waste. Assholes.

My condolences.

I knew - just wanted to show what countries use logic when writing the date. :wink:

Sure, it's more logical...

But I still find "November 25, 2006" more aesthetically pleasing than "25 November 2006." Somethine about starting with a number that just doesn't seem right.

You're absolutely correct: when I see my numbernumberth birtday coming, I get an aesthetic shock looking at that.

But we wouldn't put the date like that...

We would put 25th November 2006.

With the correct and aesthetically pleasing lower case th after the day.

Yes, the date comes first Wink

Smorgs, that's an awful thing to wake up to, I am sorry that it happened
to you. In Singapore, thugs like these get flocked, and they should.

Many moons ago, when I visited Los Angeles for the first time, we
parked in a neighborhood we shouldn't have. Upon returning to the car,
front and rear windows were smashed and the dashboard wrecked, although they didn't get the radio out. Nonetheless, there was a lot of damage and we had a 2 hour drive home with that mess and no windows,
but fortunate for us, it rarely rains here Laughing

"flocked", C.J.? Love it. Maybe I had better get the flock outta here. Razz

We had a pacer once, and it was stolen. Our insurance agent called to tell Bud that he was very sorry, but they had found the car.

Actually, I am grimacing because I got one of those mysterious letters from my local bank saying a check had been returned. It took me forever to trace it via telephone, and finally arrived at the conclusion that it was a birthday gift from my oldest sister who is a zillionaire. (well, almost)

Yeah, Miss Letty, that was a good typo

Should have been flogged of course.

Let's not forget JPB's brother-in-law, y'all.

Thank you, Letty and all, for your kind thoughts. My sister is still holding vigil. My other sister (also in FL) plans on driving over next weekend to help out in any way she can.

Great news from mac, Letty, and msolga. Condolences to smorgs (that really sucks) and good wishes to elpus for a better week next week.
