I guess I'm an old timer. I recognized the URL and ,
thankfully did not open it.

Having a bad week Taddy?


Scotty




Actually, yes, Scotty. There are going to be some very unhappy clients
tomorrow, and I'm also looking at a summer in drought in the middle of
the desert every two weeks with the temperatures in the low 50s

Yeah, but it's a DRY heat!


'fraid not. 'tis the season of thunderstorms. This area is far enough
north (Lat 27 S to Lat 28 30 S) to get regular tropical incursions, which
create roving thunderstorms, so when they're around, the 1% RH goes up to
70%. That means you can get appallingly bogged in fine fine loose dusty
sand and stuck there to be hit by a local thunderstorm which makes the
sand driveable but wipes out all movement on the clay flats...or one gets
stuck by floods coming in from the northeast. Makes for interesting
times.

Sounds like you need Jax riding shotgun.

Actually, yes, Scotty. There are going to be some very
unhappy clients
tomorrow, and I'm also looking at a summer in drought in
the middle of
the desert every two weeks with the temperatures in the
low 50s
(Centigrade). So I thought I'd spread a little happiness
first...


That sucks! We're getting a lot of rain, and wind lately.

Scotty


Send the rain. keep the wind. (Wilhelm Reich, where are you when we need
you?)

Don't you have your own orgone generator?


Geez Gilligan, I didn't even KNOW about such things until the other day
when I found the Cloudbusting video clip on youtube and decided to find
out what the hell it was all about...for this abysmal lacuna in my
knowledge I blame my parents, my teachers, the government, the USA,
Encyclopedia Britannica, my peers, my co-workers, my supervisors, the
medical profession, all lawyers, McCarthy, you, my classmates,
alt.sailing.asa, the scientific establishment, Immanuel Velikovsky,
Freud, OMG, P&O, and the authors of the AUstralian constitution.

Not a ring of fire I would wish to be anywhere near, let alone fall into.

In my office is a small NOAA receiver. It's been there for a few months now.
I saw an orange light emanating from it yesterday which I've never seen

Upon further inspection I saw the words "tornado watch"
So I watched, notified a few people, security types, safety types, and
watched some more.

I really think youtube should bear some of the responsibility.

Scotty

you...are your ears burning?

I never get invited to the good parties!
