The coolest day in the forecast is 104°F; the hottest is 107°F. That’s 40-42°C. No record-setters, though, just misery enough to last at least a week. Yuckaroids.
This is just crazy. In order to keep food safe for people, we have to kill everything else! An article in the San Francisco Chronicle here.
I was cleaning the car this morning and had the radio on to a news station from San Francisco. When Karla and I go driving and the conversation runs dry, I suggest that we turn on the radio and listen to “traffic and weather together every ten minutes” from the Bay Area. This morning I heard that there were scattered traffic cones in the number one lane and a large box in the right lane of some freeway. Wow. How cool. I felt really in the know, and could carry on a relevant conversation with a Bay Area native.
Bored? Have nothing going on? Here’s the place to go. Mind-altering substances could enhance the experience, but don’t ask me; my choice is coffee. Sometimes chocolate. You can get some control of the motion by dragging your cursor over the image while it moves.
Actually, you have to type in two words at a time. One has already been deciphered, the other is your contribution to the cause. You never know which is which, so it’s a mystery. For example, shown above is the word ironies, which is pretty obvious. But are they looking to solve Austin? For that matter is it really Austin? I will never know, and that makes it worthwhile. Not knowing is what leads to the mistakes that are the basis of all great discoveries.
Having a mind curious about scientific stuff has helped me in many ways to understand the mysteries of life on earth. An example is shown above, a plastic chair on a wooden porch. The chair is obviously a popular spot for birds to pause for a sit-down and eliminate waste. Most folks would look at the droppings on the chair and the droppings on the porch below and break out the garden hose. But I look on the scene and get a much bigger picture brought on by my deep thinking skills.
Has anybody out there not played Asteroids on a computer? A triangular shaped space ship shoots blasts of light at incoming space debris until it gets hit and disappears in a flash only to reappear ready to shoot more rocks. It turns out someone thinks a movie can be based on this time-waster. 2 bad they dont know to much about speling.
