If you scroll down a bit you’ll see a post about the snow up on Mt. Mitchell.
Now look at Mt. Mitchell from today:

See the counter in the sidebar? The one on the top? Cool, eh?
Get one yourself from Backwards Bush.com.
Somehow, seeing those numbers, makes me feel a little better about this silly situation this nation is in. Just a little.

Eeeeeeewwwwwwww!!!!!
BERLIN (Reuters) – A Bavarian village was flooded by liquid pig manure after a tank containing the fertilizer burst, German police said Wednesday.
Sewage rose to 20 inches in the courtyards and streets of Elsa after gushing from the tank, which held some 240,000 litres of pig manure.
“The village was swamped with green-brown liquid and it was pig manure — the mother-of-all muck,” said Rainer Prediger, a police spokesman in the nearby town of Coburg.

Went to the doc this mornin’ at 8-freakin’-45 a.m.
He gave it the generic tag of conjunctivitis and prescribed an antibiotic ointment. Altho conjunctivitis is viral, they have found that an antibiotic helps with the symptoms.
The swelling is worse today and I have this Neanderthal look going. My eye lid is puffy near my nose which makes my eyebrow look bigger. There is also some swelling below the eye as well. Whoopee. Doc didn’t say anything about resting it or whatever. So I’ll be writing today.
My pharmacy didn’t have the ointment so I have to wait until tomorrow to start it.
I’ve been going to MAHEC for so long that most of the staff know me and Joella. So when I came in at 8:45 (shudder) several of them quickly asked if I needed any help. They figured if I was there that early I must really be sick.

There was a post on Slashdot pertaining to Solar Sails and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).
That article led me to the Planetary Society’s web page that discusses the solar sail project, Cosmos 1 that never reached orbit due to rocket failure. (one of the many Russian failed launches).
I returned to the Slashdot article and went to Andy’s Brain site where they have an interview with JPL concerning solar sails.
I visit JPL’s website so often I have it memorized (jpl.nasa.gov. how difficult is that??) so I went there next. As always I love to get lost in their site. I went to the section for Science and Research. I resisted the urge to wander through the image archives and instead followed a link to the NASA Scientific and Technical Information (STI) section.
Wow, you want NASA, JPL, space, etc. technical information? That’s the place to go. WhooHoo! I know, I’m a geek and damn proud of it. Some of the papers are available on-line (mostly as .pdf’s) but many you have to order. They also have links to many periodicals. Oh, and while browsing the main page, I found a link for Acronym Listings. It will help with the alphabet soup.
Solar Sails are an interesting method to cross the universe. This is the stuff fiction came up with decades ago.
Oh, and don’t forget about LiveScience.com’s Science of Fiction.

Will Riker. Sheesh. Well, I did tie with Deanna Troi so perhaps.
I’ve not really been a fan of fanfic but a story about Troi and Dr. Crusher, well, I’d read that!
Okay, back to earth, P.
Anyway, I thought my eye was better so I wrote a crapload of words last night (2634). I finally got to where I could have the first sex scene so I inserted one I’d written earlier during a freewrite. This makes the final count of BG3 rise significantly to stand at 31697. I really like how this story is going. At first I was afraid the constant arguing between the two MCs would get to be too much but there’s enough other stuff going on that it doesn’t feel painful. ‘Sides, they don’t fight all the time. They just found out that sex beats fighting any day. :naughty:
However, my eye decided to be a pain again (literally) and today is all gross again. Whoopee. Reckon I oughta go see a doc about it, eh?
