glaciology and og

luta grav. is good for tired and burning eyes. i dont know what it is so take that with a grain of salt (keep it out of your eye or things will get worse)
glen was washing windows for a glaciologist today and was able to get some further facts on how they study climate change. ice cores can hold data from as far back as 300,000 years, but as the ice gets deeper and more compressed, they can only get a glimpse at a century at a time vs say a year or a decade. greenland has more pollen than antarctica so it is more bountiful with its revealings.
looks like this just might be the rainiest march in recorded history in SF. again this day the sky spits at us.
i saw some BC, the comic strip, drinking glasses at an antique place in the mission. Og was on one of them cursing a boulder or something. i might have enjoyed a cool beverage from that vessel but it cost $9.00 and i am not a big fan of that strip. Mutts is where its at.

today



Today I vow to begin writing about what I have learned each day. I come across so many tidbits of factoids that I forget some of them. Brain practice here now. Much will be rambled off but so rich the content may be. Then, let's get to sharing and see what comes of it.

its mid afternoon and already it has been a day chock full of facts. newspapers are still the rage on my end - i'd rather lick my thumb and flip a page than click mouse. though i do hate that they havent figured out another material to print the news on that doesnt reap havoc on all those fertile forests. sheet metal?
apparently, ugly teens are more likely prone to commit crimes than pretty ones because of fewer social and employment opportunities. jessica simpson is trying to be like angelina jolie by adopting poor children and dealing in charities. google doesnt seem to call on time when a phone interview is scheduled for 2:00pm. men are prone to be more dissatisfied with their mates if they make a habit of looking at pretty women in victoria's secret catalogs. there is a difference between selfishness and self-indulgence. and, finally slabsides is a slang term for tall skinny lanky types. (i suppose it could also be construed as a rustic cabin near poughkeepsie)
