The bug is a bit of editing magic. I slowed that video down and manually controlled the video-progress slider. The bug resembles a "palmetto bug" (commonly found in/near palmetto and willow trees in New Orleans.) Such bugs are cold-blooded and therefore would become too lethargic to jump like that after being in a fridge for a short time. Also, the bug just appears in-frame from nowhere. But the video maker did manage a good "jump scare" scene, so gotta give him props for the effort.

I would groan except that a couple of weeks ago I actually DID go to a funeral for a woman who was my childhood neighbor. She passed away in February at age 102. This woman had a daughter a couple of years younger than me. We were childhood sweethearts but then drifted apart. I remember when the neighbor revealed to her family that she had breast cancer. She later had the "double radical" surgery, but her daughter came over to cry on my mother's shoulder because she feared the worst. 70+ later, the neighbor passed - but not of cancer. It was sad, but at the same time a celebration of someone who had, as a barely-out-of-her-teens woman, worked for the WW II effort because she was a trained seamstress. She made ties for U.S. Army office and dress uniforms. Her kids grew up and are now themselves parents. Her grandson is a firefighter. Rest in peace, Miss Lucy!

I think that tells you that the person who entered that message on the board wasn't thinking about VEHICULAR traffic.

Back in '77-'78, my school pushed the "We're going metric!" narrative hard. We spent months learning about it, how to do the conversions, blah, blah blah. It died (un-noticed) on the vine and life went on.
It wasn't until I lived abroad that I realized how we missed an opportunity to adopt a much simpler way of life...
