Random Thoughts Part 5: Time to Split Again

[zoobyshoe]

Why?

Because it's surprising.

 

[zoobyshoe]

I drove to Walmart. On the way back I saw a truck get attacked by a tumbleweed at a red light. It was a very large tumbleweed, too.

 

[zoobyshoe]

Just heard a big, metallic crash. It looks like the wind ripped the rain gutter off the building across the street. I saw earlier it had started ripping shingles off its roof.

 

[Silicon Waffle]

Split the difference and call it realism

It's a neat plan, actually. On one hand, everyone feels good, and on the other, everyone still gets the benefits as predefined and calculated in advance .
Resistance is futile, as it will be eliminated or suppressed easier with such a difference both online and offline.

What did you do after and / or while watching it ?

Symmetry ?

Speaking of wind gusts, Zoobie's not kidding. It's gusty all over the place here. Localized splotches of relative calm in between extremely formidable gusts. Windows have been rattling left and right, although everything is holding together presently.

Were you expecting storm weather? In sunny SD?

It's rare, I'll give you that. But it does happen from time to time.

Sounds like fun if you ask me.

On the bright side you don't have to worry about Zika while the gusts last since it blows mosquitoes away.

Jumpin' Jehosifats!

Winds topping 115 mph hit Southern California​

Hang on down there!

I was just joking for fun ! No it's asymmetry.

When you see the rain, don't ever forget to remember me !

Incidentally, I found out the other day they have Starbucks in Russia. That surprised me.

Why?

What I like best about that is it sounds like a line lifted straight from a John Prine song

Now you can train your superhero skills and help with repairing things :-)

I visited Berlin once. There's a Starbucks on the square where the Brandenburg gate stands. I can't now remember if it's actually in the former Soviet embassy or just next door.

I've got a piece of Berlin Wall. But I was told it's not valuable because almost everyone has one.

 

[Silicon Waffle]

I count on the google map and find there are 6 Starbucks in my city. People here I don't think prefer Starbucks to other local coffee stores. They, Starbucks inclusive, serve almost the same bitter tastes at similarly dear prices .

I counted and there are like EDIT: 22 at my place and they are all conglomerated on the capital and cities around it. It makes sense, only people with money would visit such a place.

Speaking of walls I wondered whether the United States has enough resources from tax-payers to build a wall to separate their country from Mexico and Canada. Like the Great Wall of China. Not that it has any use, I just wondered whether they have the resources, a random thought.

An upcoming week with highs in the 50's. My kind of week.

And the resources to put 22 Starbucki along the wall.

And the resources to put 22 Starbucki along the wall.

That way they can serve people from 3 countries at the borders.

 

[DiracPool]

Why can't I find at least one photo of Frederick Douglass smiling? Can you guys find one for me?

But everyone has to sit at the table according to their country's colour. Canada is white, US is blue and Mexico is yellow.

You two are hired for the project.

People will wonder why the Wi-Fi is fire-walled... Yeah that was terrible, I know.

I slept all night but woke up again. It is still very windy! The wind chill factor is giving things an arctic nip. I was hoping all this would have cleared up over night, but no such luck.

And China's color is...

BTW, talking about China, tomorrow is the Chinese new year, year of the Fire Monkey. Happy new year in case I don't post before tomorrow.

Fire monkey? Sure it's going to be a funny year! :)
Any predictions?

Strange thing. Here (est. ¼ around the globe) it's unusually windy, too.

Hmmmm. Well, I hope it goes away. If I liked this kind of weather I'd have moved to Tierra Del Fuego.
