    Forest Labor Camp? Nah, they're going to strip them bare with the "healthy forests act" We don't need no stinkin forests here!

    Prescott Bush, anyone? Naming your processor after the Grandpappy patriarch of America's current ruling (gag) dynasty? if there's no conspiricy there I'll munch my all-you-minie-um.

  3. Aluminized Mylar Space Blankets on Extinctions Due to Global Warming Predicted · · Score: 1
    One big influence on our climate is the reflectivity of snow and ice.

    Could we create reflective regions in our desert areas, by putting out enough aluminized mylar? It seems if a decent fraction of our industrial output was dedicated to producing film, we could cover quite large areas, increasing our net reflectivity.

    Okay... so I've got to have one kooky idea a day. Really, it astounds me that we don't seem to be able to get together and work for the common good... such as legislating better fleet efficiency or producing a larger portion of our power thru non-combustion processes. The technology is there... it's just a lack of leadership and political will.

    SMS Message or email? Couldn't it just shock my kid into compliance w/o bothering me about it?

    We saw the Aurora in Portland, Oregon Tuesday night last week. Very beautiful.. worth a little
    temporary ass-freezing-off.

    We got pictures, I posted them .

    A great site for information is at [Solar Terrestrial Dispatch]
    they also have a photo gallery.

    The sun rotates every 27 days.. I'm looking forward to seeing what happens next month. I'd hate to own a satellite right about now.
