yellojktIt’s a rainy Monday, after a rainy Sunday and a rainy Saturday. I’m tired of rain now.
The local Hastings (a combo bookstore, DVD rental, game rental, and other stuff type store) is going out of business. A book caught my eye, I read a few pages, decided I wanted it. Stayed up most of last night to finish reading it. It was a good read: Oblivion, by Peter Abrahams. Guy is a good suspense novelist. More than half the novel is conducted by a private investigator who is recovering from a stroke, and has to piece together not just a case he had practically solved before the stroke, but piece together what the case even was. Stayed up too late reading it. But found an author I will probably read another book from.
I don’t think that’s happened for fiction since I randomly selected a Iain Pears novel, An Instance of the Fingerpost, because I liked the name. I recommend both books.
The Universe is older than we thought. Maybe.
Good news. Sugar cures cancer! Apparently, you can’t consume it all in the form of Butterfingers.
Apparently, Antarctic ice originally formed when CO2 levels were much higher than they are currently.
Assuming everything we know about atmospheric CO2 and arctic ice 34 million years ago is accurate. Might not be.
Was this guy arrested for looking out his window?

Tomorrow begins a two-day sentencing hearing for former IL Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D). Blagojevich was convicted on 18 corruption-related counts. The local legal eagles say he'll get about 10 years.

Ah, if only it were warm enough to rain here, Kevin! Woke up this morning and it was 19. . . and the high was 28. At least it was sunny, though!

That peeping tom case is the opposite of a recent one where a guy was arrested for indecent exposure because he was making coffee in the nude in his own kitchen and was seen by a schoolgirl trespassing through his yard.

yello–that's so wrong on so many levels. Where are property rights?Kevin: it's back down to 19 here right now, with an overnight low of 13 expected. I'll bet that makes you feel a little better about your rain! 🙂

Goose: still tired of the rain. Of course, I enjoy snow, because we get very limited amounts. Have to worry about pipes freezing at 13, though, because houses here just aren't built with sufficient insulation for sub-20s weather, even though we normally have a week or three of it during the year.
