  1. To the chagrin of myself and my wallet, today was a Costco day.
    What made me buy six pounds of coffee, and enough paper towels to completely wrap the house, my wife’s car, and both my trucks?

  2. 6lbs. of coffee would probably last me over a year, if not longer. It wouldn’t be fresh anymore. I’m not Dave Grohl that’s for sure(besides having no musical talent).

  3. Maybe it’s me but I think Gary’s getting ready to roll what we call the “Costco Joint”

    Party On Dude!

    And if anyone would like to help me translate an 80 year old letter from Italian to English, well, I sure would appreciate a visit to my Blog. I tried babel fish et al., but this is a handwritten letter.

  4. Happy Sunday. Been a pretty great weekend. Went to the Rockies/White Sox Spring Training game, then grilled after, today watching some basketball… pretty excited that Michigan State is in the final four!

    I’m trying to make a CD for a buddy that is moving out of Arizona, trying to find songs that involve Arizona, cities in AZ or songs about the southwest… any ideas?

  5. Deborah, Here’s a great song to start you off: Randy Newman, off an album called “Little Criminals” from 1977: “Rider in the Rain”.

  6. Gee thanks Paul. So, by doing the math in the first five paragraphs, the sea level has risen a little less than 4½ inches/10cm…and a dozen islands have/will disappear. What did they ever do when a passing boat kicked up a wake?? That sounds like more of the hooey we’ve been hearing from the UN, the CRU, NASA and Gore, ever since the last crisis that didn’t work out: global cooling.

    “Until 2000, the sea levels rose about 3 millimeters (0.12 inches) a year, but over the last decade they have been rising about 5 millimeters (0.2 inches) annually, he said.” It seems like it would be important to know when that 3mm rise started…a couple years before?…50 years before?…A century before?

    Seems like sea level has always risen and fallen…Remember the Bering land bridge? Your own state has been both 3 times larger than it is and mostly under water at various times in the past. There are fossils of sea creatures all over my area…Ohio, Illinois, western NY, Wisconsin, Ontario. I can take you less than 3 miles from my house and show you fossils of trilobites, brachiopods, and tropical fish embedded in the cliffs along our riverbeds…rivers which were created by the melting of the one mile thick glacier…right in the same place as the tropical sea.

    Seems like you should be speaking out against that Icelandic volcano (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20100322/ap_on_sc/eu_iceland_volcano) (paragraph #8), or earthquakes, which have killed a lot more people in the past few months than a 4″ sea level change over 3 decades.

  7. It is impossible to elevate your foot and twirl it clockwise, and then hold you your hand and try to twirl it counter-clockwise.

  8. DJ.
    Do you ever ease up? Do you ever think some things are done just to egg you on? Do you ever think, once in a while, that every little thing is not meant to be dissected and scrutinized and analyzed to the nth degree? Do you ever ease up and think some things are simply done for fun? Do you ever?

  9. I just answered “bullsh1t” at first, but I had to add several paragraphs to beat the ‘comment too short’ filter.

  10. Erosion!!
    But let’s not let facts get in the way of another good myth!
    (BTW… Now you’re no fun either 🙁 )

  11. If Boca is 4 meters and sea level has gone up 2 meters already, I wonder why Paul hasn’t been too concerned about this global warming thing?

  12. Speaking of a small island, here’s all the redundant stuff I got for the census. Six pieces of mail, only needed one. I still haven’t filled out anything yet.

  13. When you do send it back, I hope you pop a benny in the envelope to cover the cost of the rest of us counting all the Scott.

  14. A Benny? Was that 2 meter hill on that island ‘Benny Hill’? 40 years ago he was about 2 meters vertical. Now, not so much.
