Bleh, back to work today. I managed to get some sort of cold, so I have a sore throat and am blowing a bit of nasty bloody snot out of my head (too much information, I know). Even worse, I just realized that it’s December, and my car inspection was up in November. So now I have to drive around like a fugitive until I get it taken care of. I really need to retire so I can have the time to take care of all this crap (or at least stay home so I don’t have to).
I just read the end of Sunday’s thread. No wonder your head hurts.
PJ, Feel better!
Back to work! Why s it easier to go to work when you have worked the day before and so hard to do it when you have had a nice long weekend?
As to cutting things in half, how about cutting the work week in half? No problem there.
Or, once something is cut in half can you continue to cut the half in half infinitely? At what point would you no longer be able to cut a piece in half, assuming of course that you have the ability to do so?
Time to work.
Have a good one.
That reminds me of a lecture I was in back in the day. I think it was Organic Chemistry, though it might have been Physics. Anyhow, the question was, suppose that you were on one side of a room, and began to move toward the wall on the other side. The stipulation was that you could only move half the distance between your current location and the wall. How many moves would it take you to reach the other side? Well, you never would of course.
Now, how you could measure (let alone move) the distance as you started to get down to, say, 1cm, 500mm, 250mm…1nanometer, 5 angstroms…1angstrom…1picometer….. Well, you couldn’t.
I’m not jumping into this conversation without coffee. :joe:
i like the half or cut in two work week idea…until i read pj’s halvsies theory. then i just like the no work week.
being in MO made me realize just how far north the 49N is. The sun was much higher and it was bright as all get out at 7 a.m.
have a grand day all and feel better pj.
PS have you all been reading about the nbc/war “analysts” articles. why does this get exposed AFTER the damage has been done? the nation, NYT and Greenwald on Salon have it all.
Ciao!
morning gang!
i’m waiting for a report from Sean on my applesauce.
blog world seems somewhat blah today, very nice color coordination with my damp overcast day outside.
never the less, i have a positive fix on a automotive problem that was bugging Bgurl! ha! so there is hope and success out there.
(spins wrench like a matial artist and snugs it away in it’s tool box niche!)
Hai!
Feel better PJ! I feel like I had a stay-cation last week. I had two sick days with an abscessed tooth. I’m looking forward to the surgery tomorrow when I can have milkshakes and Vicodin.
Milkshakes, Vicodin and oral surgery :doh:
hope all goes well tomorrow, Anastasi. Me no likey the vicodin, though. Oh, the dreams, they are bad. :billcat:
OKAY, to get everyone off the math thing. Try this quiz => Middle East Geography Quiz.
can you do it in 3 minutes? (The “stans” got me a bit lost….)
love the image you portray, SJ!
eya 49N 122W!
“One man holding back the sludge!”
OK, so who should our next Senator be here in NY? Somebody from Upstate would be kind of nice.
Birmingham Mayor :billcat:
I thought Cuomo was the front runner for the Senate.
He’s been mentioned, but Paterson says he’d like somebody from Upstate or a woman or a minority.
Brooklyn congresswoman Nydia Velazquez is a good person, real lefty and her chief of staff is very active with Working Families. 2 out of 3!
This is what’s coming up in the next hour on The Jeff Farias Show He’s been having some great guests and interesting topics.
At 6 Lew Daly author of Unjust Deserts : How the Rich are Taking our Common Inheritance and Why We Should Take it Back
At 6:30 Sonja Lyubomirski on the The Promise of Intentional Activity and ways of finding happiness
Is Jeff Farias off NovaM radio? He used to be on right before Malloy, but no longer. Is he trying to make it as a pure web presence?
Jeff got fired from NovaM along with Billy the web guy and John Manzo and one of the sales reps. Not entirely clear why, some kind of dispute over how the station should make more money but don’t quote me on that. So he’s striking out on his own on the web. So any support would be awesome. He still gets great guests.
I will support Jefff, just too many choices for my ears at the moment
