The last couple of days...
Jul. 18th, 2010 07:31 pmOkay, maybe not quite *this* bad, but it's almost 1930 MDT [7:30 PM] and it's finally dropped to 98 F at the nearest mini-weather station to where I am. However, it *was* 104 F a couple of days ago here in the SW Treasure Valley, Idaho area. I live in dread of the 'hot season' [middle August to middle September].

Took a minute to realize
Mar. 24th, 2010 03:33 pmI read this and first went 'So?'. That I realized this might not be a Starbucks in a place like Montana or Idaho.
My kind of Starbucks. At least I know who's carrying. And who I can grab a sidearm from is things get hinky and the zombies come after the 'spro.

Chickens + Curling = Fun
Feb. 27th, 2010 04:35 pmA new online comic I've just found [thanks to patgund] and I'm in love with it. :>
No, I'm not advocating curling with chickens, although it *does* sound like some that Mythbusters might want to check into. Heck, I've seen cats riding Roombas and curling stones don't move all *that* fast. I can see a chicken riding one.
I never watched curling before the current Olympics and I've found myself grow fascinated by it. I still have a lot to learn about it, so that's why this comic is so funny to me.

Poor little thing....

The story behind the cartoon is this:
NASA: Mars Rover Will Likely Rove No More
by Joe Palca
January 26, 2010 NASA is abandoning for now plans to try to extricate the Mars Exploration Rover named Spirit from a sand trap it has been stuck in since April 2009.
The decision has been forced on mission managers by the Martian weather; it will soon be winter in the area where Spirit is stuck.
Just like on Earth, during the Martian winter, the sun is lower in the sky. That means less sunlight will reach the Spirit's solar panels, and that means less power to operate the rover.
Full article here
Poor little Spirit - all alone in the deep, dark night.

Curse you Spotty Cat! Curse you! [But in the nicest possible way, of course.]
Like I need faster access to *another* thing on the Internet.
But this way I will get my "Two Lumps" fix so much faster. :}
