I'm wondering how many times a person can strike their heads w/o causing irreparable damage? I've taken 2 pretty good hits to the head these past few weeks....and unlike Sidney Crosby and those other hockey heroes, mine were caused by inanimate objects...usually 2 x 6 's. It's really a no win situation...when I walk around looking down, so as not to trip over anything in my path or get my feet caught up in compressor hoses, extension cords and the like....I end up hitting my head on the planks on top of scaffolding. When I'm looking up to beware of the scaffolding....you guessed it....I trip over the compressor hoses and extension cords. It's only a matter of time until I do some real damage...and if I actually see Rusty, Jerome the giraffe, or the Friendly Giant, I'll know for sure that I've got a concussion!!
WHAT I LEARNED TODAY: Discovered something new while "surfing" for a room in Sydney for after our cruise. It's called AirBnb and can be found at http://www.airbnb.com/. What it is, basically, is a kijiji-type website for ad hoc B 'n B's. If you've got a room to spare, or are looking for a room, you can advertise/find it here. Now mind you...these aren't "rated" accommodations...and you might be "buying a pig in a poke" (as my mother says), but there is an element to the website for reviews so you can see what those that have stayed at any given accommodation are saying....if, indeed the review was in fact written by someone who did stay there....skeptical, you say?? Only a healthy reticence, I reply....but I'm always open to trying something "new" ...well, I'm sometimes open to trying something new...okay, okay...I'm not always open to trying something new, but thought I'd put it out there for those of you that are!!!!
