Welcome back!

I remember doing science when I was in school (please do NOT ask me when that was). I always figured that the textbooks that we used did not mention enough about critters of any type.

The behavior of critters and the behavior of people are sometimes so similar that it makes me wonder which of us is smarter. Biology was okay, but I did not like cutting up critters. I would rather have seen them alive and studied their antics.

Not enough information, maybe too little time was spent investigating living things, rather than the insides of dead things. After all living things are what we happen to be.

Time is something that gets to everyone alive. Whether they keep track of it or not, time will pass and some times people do not keep track of it. Take today for example, when you woke up on the morning, time had changed, the hours specifically had changed because of daylight savings time changing. The computer takes care of itself, so does the VCR and the TV.

The rest of the clocks in the house we need to change when we remember them. We have no Guess watches, most of what we have are the cheap kind that use quartz. My husband cannot wear a wind up watch because of the electricity in his body. He has ruined a lot of watches before when he didn’t realize what the problem was. One watch he gave to a friend. This friend put it on the mantle at his house for 5 years. We were visiting one day when the watch started to work again. A total surprise there, because I had looked at it when the second hand started to move again. Digital watches go totally blank on him and never work again. When he has found watches that do work, the batteries do not last 6 months, they have lasted for up to 3 years instead. Even when he had been in the hospital wearing a heart monitor, the electricity in his body fried several of them until the hospital personnel figured out what was wrong. It was a learning experience for sure.

Well, for critters stuck on a ball of rock scientists are always looking at the sky. They have found more stuff up there. At least this time is isn’t stuff that we left behind that might fall out of orbit like Skylab did.

Way out there by Neptune is another contact that is apparently made of ice and rock. Isn’t amazing what can be found? We have sent satellites out past Pluto, never landed there. We look around and find really strange things.

I saw some pictures of Jupiter where the size of Earth was compared to Jupiter side by side. It looked as if the Earth could be dropped into the ‘Red spot’ on the side of Jupiter. The planet is so big compared to our home. The patterns on the surface of Jupiter almost make it look like it was made of different types of fluids that are on the move and constantly swirling and mixing around. The view of the Earth showed the Middle East. I could recognize the Arabian peninsula and part of Africa. Our little planet is one piece out of a rather large cosmos.

I wish that we could be united with each other in peace rather than have to draw imaginary lines on our little planet. To each person it looks big by itself, but it’s not. Compared to other planets, it’s tiny. You should compare it to just the other planets in our own solar system. It makes you think, at least it did with me.

There has been a lot of debate and talk about bio-fuel and bio-diesel. One of the previous articles that I wrote had a link to a site that explains the hazards of the making of bio-diesel. Check out the Great Fuel Debate.

I just read another article on a science blog that talks about making the bio-fuels easier and without as much hazardous waste. In the post, itself, an explanation is given as to how this can be accomplished. You would think the media would pick up on this because of the brouhaha going on in the media itself.

I wish the media would figure out that not everyone wants to hear about which ‘celebrity’ is going through rehab, and instead give us news that is more important. I realize that rehab is important for those who need it. The rest of us also need to know about alternatives for daily life.

Maybe it’s just me. I don’t know. All I know is that a particular type of search engine..doesn’t.

I keep getting messages..it can’t find the site…the site has expired…the site doesn’t exist! It does not seem to matter that I had just been using that particular site when BAM it’s gone and I’m looking at a poor excuse why it no longer is there. How can a site NOT exist when it had been getting used? I don’t know. I have found myself yelling at the monitor, calling it a liar, and worse. I know it is just a machine. It is not its fault. That doesn’t make it any less frustrating though.

I have no understanding of why this would happen. I have a firewall, and virus protection; so, my machine should be safe from those thugs that like to mess around with other people’s things. Programs only do what they are programed to do…I thought. Sometimes it makes me feel as if there is a bogeyman just waiting to surprise me with another useless unreasonable message. I almost wish that I could mess him up with Crisco in his hair or Vasoline on his monitor screen. That makes a pretty picture doesn’t it?

I feel better now. My rant has ‘expired’ sort of, at least until the next time.

In my previous post, I wrote about only a few of the experiences I’ve had with tornadoes. I’m NOT an expert. The experts are located with the National Weather Service. This is also called NOAA. Below is the link to find out multiple facts about different types of weather. Hurricanes and tornadoes are storms to be wary of experiencing.

NOAA Weather

Please check it out! This is important. Hiding under overpasses does not work, it is dangerous. Racing away in your car is also dangerous. Tornadoes can travel faster that a car, plus it is not limited to just using the road like the car is limited. Check out this site learn what is fact, and live. Please!

Just wrote something. Duh! Talk about stating the obvious, HA. If you are reading this of course you already know that more than one blog has been put down today.

In my previous blog I mentioned being a novice or beginner in blogging. Yes, I like to talk, it is pretty obvious with all that has been written by me lately. All of the digital devices that are available today can be wondrous in what they can do. However, I had a recent reminder about the fragility of such devices. In our town we had apparently, 2 tornadoes that passed through. Thank God mostly passed through. I tried to called a friend that travels on a certain highway where they had recently had an accident, couldn’t get through to make sure that he was OK. Got very frustrated (GRRRRR) did not know why I could not make a phone call. I was afraid that with all the internet stuff that I did, had gotten a virus into the phone.

Totally lost all reception couldn’t reach anyone. The camera part worked great. Got a few pictures of the big hail stones, but no phone calls. Never realized that a tornado could interfere with a cell phone. Right then would have loved a land line. Of course I didn’t know if any land lines went down though. After the storm passed, the phone worked again. A learning experience that I could have done without.

The phone was digital, any land lines are analog, I’m hard copy, and the tornado was stubborn. I survived, the phone survived, I guess the land lines survived, the tornado went away finally. Prayer does work Thank God.

Everyone is concerned about the ‘gas’ shortage. Meanwhile, our politicians seem to have no lack of ‘hot air’. Why do people only think of petroleum products for fuel.

Every person who has taken a drink of liquor can tell you that high octane sources come from more that just petroleum. RICE is used to make Saki - the Japanese and others know this. POTATOES are used to make Vodka - the Russians and others know this. SUGAR CANE is used to make Rum - the people of the Carribean know this. HOPS and BARLEY (not really sure about the ingredients here) are used to make Beer. WINE makers in many countries know that sometimes wine will turn into Brandy. It can also be made into vinegar. CORN, of course, is used to make Moonshine. That has been used to run vehicles for decades by the very people who make it. Every gardener who makes a compost heap knows that the rotting refuse makes potent aromas, eventually turning into fertilizer.

Now, I’m no expert on the origins of liquors, just what I’ve found out about in many different ways. No doubt there is a lot out there that we don’t know about. Even camels milk can be fermented!

Why are we so hung up with old fashioned, messy, polluting petroleum?
