The Brooklyn Bridge in New York has been sold a few times.

Just read the Smithsonian magazine article at the link and I’d definitely recommend it! Here’s the bit about the rollercoaster as a wholesome distraction: “In 1884, disgusted with the uprise of hedonistic amusements like saloons and brothels, LaMarcus Adna Thompson invented the Switchback Gravity Railway, a patented coaster that visitors to Brooklyn’s Coney Island could ride for just five cents. ... His initial invention, however, isn’t like the thrill-inducers we know today. These were gravity-powered, slow-moving cars that faced outward, rather than forward, so one could enjoy a constructed scene as the car coasted at less than six miles per hour. These scenes would often be built to emulate beautiful landscapes around the world; Thompson constructed one of the Swiss Alps, for instance, and another of Venetian canals.”

Well it worked.

I was on the receiving end in British Columbia the start of January. I'm not able to be a donor. Thank-you to all the blood donors out there. This time, it was not just I who was appreciative, but my roommate.

ARUP does this (actually it is a call, not a text, at least where I am in the US).

Another article says a human baby could crawl through the largest artery in the heart.

This is the case with me and my cousins

From Conte Nast: “It's hard to overstate just how arid the Atacama, a plateau on the coast of northern Chile, really is. The Andes Mountains work like a 13,000-foot-high wall, completely blocking systems of moist air that might otherwise wander down from the Amazon Basin. As a result, the entire Atacama, a strip of land 1,000 miles wide, is virtually rainless. Arica, one of the desert's largest cities, receives an average annual rainfall of 0.76 millimeters, about the height of a flea egg. There are weather stations in the Atacama that have never recorded any rain. The town of Calama went without a single drop of rain from 1570 to 1971—more than 400 years! There are river beds that have been dry for 120,000 years, and scientists think that the Atacama has been a desert for over three million years, which would make it the oldest dry spot on Earth.“

There's a very good movie from 1965 about it. Staring Charlton Heston as Michaelangelo. The Spirit And The Ecstacy
