I have a question. My FIL mentioned something about how a scientist that Al Gore quotes or uses or something, now is predicting a cooling cycle. I couldn't say anything about this since I didn't know anything about it.

A brief bit of research does indicate there is indeed some truth to this. From what I can determine this doesn't refute CO2 driven warming, it just means a cooling cycle will mute the effect for a period of time. Does anyone know much about this? It made me curious, but looking up objective info on global warming is difficult.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

I can't see any of the puppy pics, am sad.

After a couple of months of no house cleaner, she is back as of today - WHOOT! No bugs or evidence seen in a month, so I felt safe enough to have her come in.

Weekend - the plan was to apple and pumpkin pick tomorrow, but the forecast is rain, so it may jsut be hanging at a friends' house out of the city. Sunday mac and I may go see WTWTA and have Ethiopian food.

Shit's all sorts of different now.

Our big Halloween party is tomorrow night. This year's theme is "Circus".

Here's the drink menu:

Acrobat Apple Cider (cider and Cap'n Morgans)
Sideshow Lemonade (pink lemonade and citrus vodka)
Clown's Blood (fruit punch and malibu rum)

Food will be circus fare: popcorn, carmel and candy apples, cotton candy, circus peanuts, and hot dogs (mini wieners in the crockpot with bbq sauce).

ION, I am trying to decide if I should buy this sofa: [link]# I think it's weird not to sit in it first, but it's so cheap!

Magic 8 ball says 'It is Certain', I'm not sure what that means.

Huh, that doesn't strike me as especially cheap though I suspect that means that I'm cheap.

Of course my furniture place is this:

Nebraska Furniture Mart

My FIL mentioned something about how a scientist that Al Gore quotes or uses or something, now is predicting a cooling cycle. I couldn't say anything about this since I didn't know anything about it.

IIRC, the science behind this is that we are currently in a period of very low sunspot activity, which has historically meant a period of climactic cooling for the planet. (Since low sunspots = less heat coming at us from the sun.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I have totally been to Nebraska Furniture Mart! Good times.

Huh, that doesn't strike me as especially cheap though I suspect that means that I'm cheap.

I go look at Crate & Barrel or similar, and then think that $400 is rock-bottom pricing. Of course in real life, it's a lot of money, but so many sofas are so much more!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."

Bobby McFerrin is amazing. If you ever get the chance to see him in concert, do it. DO EEEET.
