That's how you would meet my wife.
Did you try the procedure that I PMed you?
1-2" of liquid snow is heading our way from the Gulf. Sump pump has been running more frequently since last weekend.
Good morning old farts and fartesses! May the joy of Sun worship day embrace you!
More rain here starting at 46F and predicted to reach 52F.
Dinner out at Tein Hong last night, so left overs today!
City leaf pickup today so both cars in the driveway and the leaves are piled out in the street. Wish we would get enough blustery west winds to blow back the tons of leaves that the blustery east winds blow into our yard from the park across the street.

Yup. No matter. Hey! I was diggin' through some old files and found this short "Prove Me Wrong" blurb:
The Goldilocks Zone Fallacy
Walt C. Snedeker
Our scientists have made a leap to a conclusion based upon what they have seen, measured, and examined. Very possibly completely wrong.Walt C. Snedeker
“Goldilocks Zone” – the tiny niche in a huge universe wherein life could exist.
This incomprehensibly thin range of radiation, temperature, water is necessary for life to exist.
That sentence is based on woefully incomplete information, resulting in a similar chain of conclusions as the professor who proved mathematically that a man would not be able to breathe if he was traveling over 47 miles per hour.
Or the opera singer who was on a stage with a fish in a tank. She sang, and the fish did not react – proving that fish do not appreciate beautiful music.
Those examples are genuine. Reasonable people reaching conclusions with incomplete data – and unaware of that fact.
Let us step outside the Goldilocks Zone and enter a zone about which we “know” nothing. Oh, we know some things, just like the professor.
Let us enter a zone that we know exists but can only guess its characteristics:
The center of our Sun.
Posit: Intelligent life will evolve in all Zones wherein the temperature remains above a million degrees and the million pounds per cubic in pressure remains stable for more than a billion years.
Always.
Are you going to eat them at lunch?

I have fallen off the wagon.
I had to think a while to remember the corollary to lik-m-aid. It came to me in a flash of lightning and rumble of thunder...Pixy stix for all my friends!
Those straws reminded me of a short lived product that Mom brought home. Flav-R-Straws came in two flavors; chocolate and strawberry. Chocolate was tolerable the strawberry was horrible. Mom went back to the Nestle Quik.
