Don't Dim the Sun
This entry is a little later than I thought it would be. This morning I was able to get out of bed and do the morning run through Area 51 in 32:55. Easy does it. Christy Mae even joined me even though it was her last day of school vacation and it is back to teaching for her on Monday. It would take a nuclear incident to get me out of bed at 5:45 on my day off. Maybe even then I would just sleep through it.
Lunch was a Counter Nobscott loop. I again forgot my watch on the bathroom shelf (wear I put it when I shower after morning runs) so there is no time on that. I would figure about 46:30 because I included the steep hill on this one. Afterwards I did...
Wait for it...
8 strides in the parking lot. Actually 6 stides and two sort of drills (karoake's and butt kicks).
See, I told you today's entry would be exciting. Now you are all fired up and can not get to sleep. Here is some boring stuff to put back into slumber mode. Unless of course you are a super environmentalist, then you will just get upset at the current state of affairs. So go to bed if are a super green person.
The reason this entry is late is because I was sucked into a Nova show on PBS. Yes, yes, dork you later. It was on how particles in the pollution from our power plants and jets actually help slow down global warming by dimming the sun. The green house gas emissions accelerate the warming by CO2 tearing apart the atmosphere. I am not an expert on anything environmental and I have no idea what is actually happening, just to be clear. The people on the show knew exactly what was going to happen, they had computer models. That was my huge issue with the whole show. I work with computer models every day of the week. You can change one input variable slightly and get a huge delta in your output. You can get a computer model to say whatever you want by giving precedence or more weight to a certain thing and take it away from another. One thing I am sure of, the ocean is not going to rise 25 meters in 50 years like one guy prophetized. Is that a word? Anyway, let's hope they are wrong and we can straighten out this mess. I am doing my part by biking and running to work. Then of course I turn on my stereo, lights, and microwave all while preping my basement for a big TV.
Is it getting hot in here?
