Hot air balloons

Katrinacane Friends continue to update on their trials and tribulations.

Of course, the best New Orleans stories have come from The Interdictor who reported the levee leaks nearly 12 hours before CNN.

This site does an excellent job of combining data on hurricane Rita with Google Maps. Boing boing pointed the site out and notes that the change from Category 4 to Category 5 and back corresponds with ocean depth.

This picture from the National Hurricane Center reveals Rita to be male not female! For those virgin minds out there that evade potty humor and just can’t see it imagine the Atlantic as a female with Florida and Cuba as…well…enough said.

Of course, this could be similar to the Phallus on the cover of The Little Mermaid.

On September 9 I reported "Katrina was man made" with Russian technology from 1976. Looking at the track of Rita and how cleanly it missed Cuba it is clear that the equipment must reside on Cuba. Considering Cuba and Russia’s past it would be easy to assume a collaboration. Turns out though that "Japanese Mafia Behind Hurricane Katrina" and probably Rita.

The generators emit a soundwave between three and 30 megahertz and Stevens claims the Russians invented the storm-creating technology back in 1976 and sold it to others in the late 1980s.
…
At least ten nations and organizations possess the technology but Stevens suspects the Japanese Yakuza created Katrina in order to make a fortune in the futures market and to get even with the U.S. for the 1945 bombing of Hiroshima.

Stevens presents his argument in a radio show at http://www.thesciencedetective.com/.

Today: dejected

I just noticed that the free minimac website is putting an emphasis that they can only accept one account per household. So my wife (and anyone that wants to help me) needs to use the referral code http://minimacs.freepay.com/?r=14217121.

I should point out that you have to sign-up for 1 service which is significantly less than the cost of a minimac. The service that I am going to use is the printer ink. Since we all need to periodically buy printer ink it only makes sense to me to use that as the promotion to qualify for the minimac.

Early on in the series Lost (good read) I noticed that in all the flash scenes other survivors on the island were noticed. It might be Hurley in a television set in the background or a direct interaction between two characters at the airport (like Hurley and the science teacher).

I began to think that they tired of continuing such a game as it became harder to link people in the flashbacks to people on the island. Last night with the appearance of Desmond as the only person in the stadium I knew my theory and fallen apart. Perhaps I was wrong!

Structrual Integrity Failure! Yesterday I had multiple failures on the Jeep top. Granted, it’s 2 months shy of being 11 years old. I kept forgetting that all but 4 of the screws that held the metal strip which holds the top to the window frame had come out. When driving I have to help hold it down which kills my fingers. As I neared Interstate speeds, the top which had been held together for years with brown duct tape physically ripped last night and started peeling away like a bad Heidenburg movie. Then two of the screws popped on one side. Seemed like the dominoes had begun falling.

So, until I can budget $400-600 for a new roof, I am driving topless rain, shine, sleet or snow.

Today: Weight of the world

Ok. The picture didn’t come out but someone should let the people of Eyeglass World by West Town Mall know that their G and L are burned out. Perhaps they should have been on separate ballasts. Tommy’s keen eye quickly picked up on this hilarious signage.

Big focus problems today! Maybe Garden State will help or perhaps I should deny myself Lost tonight if I haven’t hit certain milestones.

Alright! I’m sharing Pink-Kitty’s crown with trembling timberdoodle! Thanks to Pink-Kitty.
