And the rest is history!

Well, I was gonna go outside and do some crap that needs doin', but the Old Hen informed me that she'd already hit her inhaler after going out to do some shopping and she hasn't used one in over a year, and the fact that she's got two whole lungs makes me question my outdoor plans.


Guess I'll find some inside crap to do. Ain't nothin' out there worth winding up in ICU over. Did I mention I hate needles?

Sometimes, some of us just stumble on treasure by blind luck. My Red Witch was 16 when I met her 66 years ago.

And it is simply too hot to do anywork outside. (*secret YAY!*) It;s 93F on my porch.

There is an inevitability to the rest of the day. By about 3PM, a wind will come in directly from the ocean becuz the sooper hot air over Chateau Sneakydicker is rising like a teenager's courting tackle at his first good look at Eve's Puddings.

Just offshore, we gots the Gulf Stream. So the air that's filling the spot over the Chateau comes zooming in from said GS.

Chock full of water. Drenching thunderstorms by 5PM.

Do you know how hard it is to type when you are not firmly connected to your pingles? I am as stoned as an Aztec wall.

Dealing with the second day of Canuck smoke myself.

I must say, this Misty Kush gives off some serious smoke too

Folks, I have a holy shit thing about Scooter -- just happened on it!

Way back in the Olden Days, when Scooter was in the gifted class in his High School, he approached me for an idea for the upcoming Science Fair. I suggested we build a geiger counter.

He thought a while, then said, "Nah. I think I am going to recreate the Martian environment and re-do the Viking Mars Lander search for life experiment."

So he did. And he demonstrated that the way NASA ran the experiment, they would not have found life in the Okeefenokee Swamp. <-- He din' put it that way, but that is what the results showed.

Seems the NASA geeks did not take into account the fact there is 10K TIMES the UV radiation on Mars. So when they dug a deep pit to get an "untouched" sample, they swung it to a vibrating sifter (in the direct sunlight UV), wet it, and tried to get something to grow. After accidentally sterilizing it by UV.

NASA gave Scooter a 4-foot plaque and access to the observatory in Miami** for his:
"Outstanding Contribution To Aerospace Research"

So whut, ya say? Well just take a lookit this. They agree (again) with Scooter:

https://bigthink.com/hard-science/accidentally-killed-life-mars/

• Life may have been discovered on Mars almost 50 years ago, but it could have been unintentionally destroyed. This theory arises from the ambiguous results of life detection experiments conducted by NASA's Viking landers in the mid-1970s.
• The Viking landers identified small amounts of chlorinated organics, initially believed to be contamination from Earth. However, subsequent missions have verified the presence of native organic compounds on Mars, although in a chlorinated form.
• Life on Mars could have adapted to the arid environment by existing within salt rocks and absorbing water directly from the atmosphere.

** I got to look through the telescope at MERCURY!! Ever kewl.

Something tells me that your Scottish sweetheart can take a punch as well as deliver one. Besides, you gotta sleep sometime.

Walts just talking shit. He knows she would kick his ass.
