I read "Tornadoes" as singular and thought it was the first part of whales. So... I read it as "Tornado Whales" and I was about to go to wikipedia.

I think we sailed over the dateline at night, because we couldn't see a thing.

Trying to figure out where those ultra specialty food trucks that are never where you saw them last go on this chart ;)

You missed: ‘Going to Newlyn specifically to visit the place where the UK #OrdnanceSurvey measure their sea level datum from’.

And: ‘Visiting Porthcurno, Cornwall, because it’s where some of the earliest undersea cables came ashore in the UK’

Birds are rated too low on this chart. In 20 years you’ll agree with me.

Seeing a living, wild oppossum would be orders of magnitude more exciting than a hot air balloon. Rare birds too!

Well, that sums up the problem for me on why the ice cream man keeps circling that block of my neighborhood. I always expect neighbors to be yelling "go away" with police calls made just to see his vehicle disappear with much disappointment.
