@Robecology The used it for storing lots of things, The seem to think it was the high acid content, low oxygen, and total darkness. Like most human "neat things" they probably discovered it by accident and when it worked, they just kept using it. But like squirrels, they didn't find everything they hid.

@SageDave LBJ implemented the Great Society programs, over the objections of Southern Democrats, Vietnam was begun under Ike, intesified under Kennedy, nearly finished under Johnson and would have ended in 1968 had Nixon not intervened with the NV in what can only be called treason by promising the NV a bette deal if they would not sign a treaty with Johnson. Medicare was the brainchild ofg LBJ, passage of the Civil Rights Act, Voting Rights Act and others would never have been passed under Kennedy, he tried and failed. To denigrate LBJ over one aspect of his presidency tells me that you are not a student of history.

When the good doctor wrote his paper in 1977, the entire launch sequence was still classified Secret, so if he had released factually correct information, he would have been in jail.

@TheGreatShadow I worked on minuteman and that is bullshit, first of all there is no pal system installed on any stateside weapon they are only used on naval vessels and on weapons on foreign soil. They are only 4 digits and are stored in a safe in the nuclear munitions plant only to be installed when the weapons are sent out to be loaded onto aircraft. Minuteman has a 28 digit apha numeric launch authentication code with arming by keys inserted into the launch control console. someone blew smoke up that reporter's ass.

@TheGreatShadow 1. The actual password is changed daily and has been since 1951. And there is no single password. Depending on which one you are talking about it can be classified anything from confidential to Top Secret. There are more rumors sourrounding nukes than any other weapon system since almost everything about them has been classified at one point or another and quite a bit of it is still classified.

It's been out for about 6 hours now, And normally it's back on quickly, but they are saying over 125,000 customers without power and we had winds clocked at 83 mph just down the road from here about 2 miles. I haven't seen any damage in my yard except a few things that got blown over. But I was grateful that i got to test the camping stuff before I left in April. That first stop is always a new learning curve to remember how everything is supposed to go together and which things have batteries and which things need something else.

Has anyone else noticed how much Bill has aged since he stopped get regular sex on the side?

glennlab replies on Mar 12, 2019:

@BeeHappy It came across in person, I was unimpressed with him until I met him, then I was totally enthralled.

glennlab replies on Mar 12, 2019:

@BeeHappy No, we are not, and I'm sure that the charisma is still there. The man was probably the most charming person I have ever met, warm, friendly, and he just made a pesonal connection whe you met him. he had an uncanny ability to remember seemly insignificant parts of converstions in later meetings and you felt that he really cared.

Necrophilia?

@CaroleKay I'm almost sorry I asked, I found a supplier in Houston, about 4 hours away and they have a SELECTION, over 11 pages of just the Euphorbias plus a list of othe cacti and succulents to die for, I'm going to have to loose that site, or I'm going to spend a fortune.

SO jealous here in Oregon! The garden centers haven't even set out stock, aside from some vege starts. Good news on 2 fronts: many of those are organic and non-GMO, and current weather forecast says last night was our last below freezing!!

glennlab replies on Mar 11, 2019:

I still have a chance of frost 2 nights this weekend, another reason that the nectarine tree is having it's last season, on most winters we don't get the chilling requirement, we have late freezes, and I live across the street from a park that is a squirrel haven, 5 nectarines in 20 years.

@Kattywampus69 I like the real whipped cream, hershey's chocolate, and perfectly ripened stawberries, Wallyworld doesn't stock my stuff. lol, then you have to leave the strawberries out for an hour to get to room temp, gently heat the chocolate, only then do you shake the whipped cream. Can you tell that I plan way too much in advance.

glennlab comments on Mar 11, 2019:

The oceans are 800 times as dense as the atmosphere, there is very little heat exchange from the atmosphere to the ocean, heat flows from the more dense object to the less dense object. Physics is simple, understanding it is not.

glennlab replies on Mar 11, 2019:

@Robecology They are rising, as a result of not being able to release excess heat into the atmosphere. When the air is cooler, the ocean can release more heat, it does this through heat eachange in the sea mist generated by waves. If you have about six months I can explain the theories of heat exchanges between land masses, oceans, tropical storms, convection currents, glaciers and how much we still have to learn. Climate change is real.

@Zoohome Cardinals are notorious for building low nests that our cats can get to. mine used to leave them at the back door. I hope the 2 that are left will not see me at the repository for all the dead stuff they collect.

None had opened yet when I took the picture this morning, but about 2 dozen had opened by 4:15 this afternoon. By tomorrow about 25-50% should be open, then almost all by day 3 if the wether holds and no driving rains.

Cast1es comments on Mar 11, 2019:

Some of mine are up and some are down and all are in the same window box . The only difference I can think of , is that the earliest ones were hit with a cold snap . The newer ones hadn't popped before the old snap and are the upright ones .

They are really stout, but growing in the wrong direction, they were forced, so that may be part of the problem.

What I wouldn't give for that about now. Winter is just getting old.

I'm going to try this. Does it really work well?

glennlab replies on Mar 11, 2019:

I use pickling vinegar, its stronger and is the one reccommended in the organic lit. but I've used regular vinegar in a pinch and it works, but not as well. The chemical combination is what does the job, the soap strips off the protective coating, the vinegar actually burns the cells, then the epson salt pull the water out of the exposed cells, rupturing them. Kind of like pouring hydrogen and oxygen on a plant, does no harm but little good, combine them, and you have a wonderful vehicle to carry nutrients to all the cells of the plant.

My cardinals are building their nest just outside my kitchen window, already put up the summer shade so i don't disturb them. those branches are the only ones too weak to support the cats.

The hyacinths were in my kitchen, but like when I brought magnolia blooms in, they tore my nose up, so now they are on the porch, but yes very fragrant.
