Good Morning. It's a pleasant 78F with 99% humidity and lots of sunshine this morning. Should be a little cooler today. High of 90F with 40% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon, and a low of 74F tonight.

I had to get away from my USB in the car for this morning's tunes. {I'm in the middle of Lovett Land right now} When I got to work, I tuned in to http://xponentialradio.org/ while I had my {2nd one this morning} safety meeting. Lots of good blues to choose from, but this one stuck out to me. You guys have a good day.

Whats the other guys name thats very similar to Tolkien writes along the same lines? I got into them 15-20 years ago and very creative stuff man; dude must have been on some serious trips in his life
Its Robert Jordan I was thinking of, Wheel of Time
oh yeah, I read 11 of those and then crapped out on the post-mortem book with Sanderson. Really gripping story, to a point, amazingly huge world and vast number of characters.
I missed out on him. I read the Hobbit and all those when I was young. But for most of my adult life I was a spy thriller guy. Those series could go on for 12-15 books sometimes. Then they messed that up when the USSR went belly up. A few of the good writers made the pivot, but most didn't.

A few years back I had a 3-4 year Western jag. It was like listening to country music. It wasn't great, but it was all new to me.

These days my library takes up half the upstairs, but I very rarely read anymore. I do keep a few books in all my vehicles in case I'm stuck in a waiting room somewhere.

It's noon in Colorado and I slept in all morning, yay me!

It's clear and bright out there, and very nice, maybe 70s.

Think I'll go for a bike ride.
Sounds like a plan. I had a kind of late night with an early morning, so I'm getting a little sleepy myself. The coffee I brew here in the office is 80/20 decaf, so I may have to take my customers up on the offer of a real cup of coffee. They are doing a breakfast this afternoon. Waffles, bacon, sausage and ice cream. I think I will.

Oh that's a feast not to be missed!

Good Afternoon. It's partly cloudy, 94F {HI of 104F} with 49% humidity in Marianna Fl at 1605. Forecast high of 93F with 20% chance of thunderstorms this afternoon, and a low 74F tonight. While it's not Mordor hot, it's still pretty damn hot today. We did get a little over an inch of rain at the farm yesterday.

Yeah but think about what it went to during the ice age. Its the circle of life. Of course its being rapidly accelerated, but would also be happening naturally as well.

Whitewash much? It's already hotter than at any other time in the last 400,000 years, inter ice age spikes included. We also have more- much more- co2 in the atmosphere than at any time in the same period. NOT a coincidence, a point atmospheric and climate scientists are all but unanimous on.

What we are living through is simply unprecedented. I'm not at all sure why people who have nothing to gain would continue to deny or minimise it. If you own stock in Big Oil or Big Coal, then you have a financial incentive to continue the ruse but that doesn't explain most of those who doubt the reality/severity of ACC (Anthropogenic Climate Change).

The last ice age cut us down to something like 10K folks. That was cutting it pretty damn thin. I think as a species, getting through the hot climate ahead will be easier than fighting mile high glaziers. We might be growing our wheat in Canada soon though.

Our use of so much meat is adding to the problem too. The fuel {and land} used to grow the feed, but the actual release of methane by cows is not a joke. Each cow releases the equivalent of 4 tons of Co2. More for dairy cows, less for beef cows. With 1.5 billion cows in the world, that is a lot of green house gasses.
