I am only receiving five FM stations  today. The air is loaded with natural EMI.

I fell asleep during a program about supervolcanoes, and missed half the show. :-[  Now I have to wait and see if it's repeated on the History Channel another time!

Don't worry the History channel runs things to death before they stop.  It will be on many more times

DVR time, pal.

No more worries about missing things once you are set up with one of those jobbies.

Even a boxed DVD recorder would help, now that blank DVD media is usually around a quarter per disk. I found TDK DVD+R media on clearance a couple of weeks ago for a dime per disk.

some bint called Daina Taimina came up with something called "hyberbolic crochet", which meant mathematicians were able to represent hyperbolic models easily and effectively.

ain't that just fab - crochet being used where conventional maths was failing to come up with anything which really worked.  ;D

and here's a photo or two:

I have learned a great deal of pool chemistry in the past couple of weeks, as it applies to the extremely "hard" Indiana water.

Just wait until the birds start cleaning their babies' droppings out of their nests into your pool.
