wow that's a lot of story going on in a single frame. It's like a Rockwell illustration, sort of

There's too much going on for this to be a renaissance image. There is no central theme and the camera angle is poor.

So is Lesbos pronounced how I think it is?

9 years ago | Likes 21 Dislikes 2

Les-Bose, not like we'd say Lez-Boze. At least how I say it as a Canadian; likely the Brits or mainlainders each have their own

9 years ago | Likes 3 Dislikes 0

Probably, the word "lesbian" came about because of a writer from Lesbos and as such the first syllable is pronounced the same

They could go for Lesbonians, but that might not be better.

Who downvoted this? Fact: there were two helis and a crop duster patrolling the highway daily. Opinion: they creeped me out.

Disputed fact: the numbers on the sides of the helis were changed to hide ownership.

They are concerned about leaks. The company says it is perfectly safe. Yet not long ago another pipeline(different company, though) >
