The Wonderful World

Join

I once told my wife I was going out to buy an envelope:
“Oh”, she said, “well, you’re not a poor man. You know, why don’t you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet?”
And so I pretended not to hear her. And went out to get an envelope because I have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope.
I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I’ll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don’t know. The moral of the story is – we’re here on Earth to fart around.
And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don’t realise, or they don’t care, is we’re dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it’s like we’re not supposed to dance at all anymore.
Let’s all get up and move around a bit right now… or at least dance.
Kurt Vonnegut

Uma nova cidade e oito novas vilas estão confirmadas. Há quem não queira ver o seu estatuto elevado: “mais vale uma vila grande do que uma cidade pequena”. Após um intervalo de onze anos sem legislação específica, Portugal vai elevar um total de nove localidades ao estatuto de cidade e vila. Almancil, no concelho de Loulé, será promovida a cidade, enquanto quatro freguesias — Salir de Matos, Salir do Porto, Tornada (Caldas da Rainha) e Boliqueime (Loulé) — passarão a ser vilas. A par dessas localidades, outras quatro freguesias – Palmeira (Braga), Árvore (Vila do Conde), Venda do Pinheiro (Mafra)
