Key points for a Icelandic trip

1) Have whale
2) Have icelandic horse (#2 on food list)
3) The Northern lights is very temperamental (1 guy tried 7 times - clouds). If it happens, it happens.
4) Reykjavik is a very small city. If your hotel is 1.1 miles away, it's in the suburbs!
5) Don't plan a whole day on the blue lagoon. It's on the way to the airport (15 mins away).
6) Reykjavik cab fare is $120 (45 mins away from airport)

please use 'ps -A'

instead of 'ps -e'. The 'e' is ambiguous even though it sounds like 'environment', it's not always. Use 'A' for "ALL".

Ugly space underneath the FDR south of the Seaport

Lower manhattan seriously needs to make a 15-foot dike underneath the FDR (will fit); will keep subway stations around Wall Street from flooding. Cheap compared to losts.

Only time "every thing happens for a reason" is acceptable

To be or not to be

"It is what it is" is acceptable when that's an acceptable state. Sure, experiencing "it" is the "why"... BUT if what u are experiencing sucks, there's an existentialism of moving on up to another plane of existence! A BETTER one!

so, "it is what it is" w.o a "2-level why" is a defeatist explanation!
