FEBRUARY 14, 2008 Happy Valentine's Day: Jamie Lynn Spears to have Walt Disney's Baby
FEBRUARY 4, 2008 I am not sure where to begin. Super Tuesday is coming up, but it will not be that super. Most of the candidates have dropped out of the race. Now, our choices are limited. THIS IS A BAD SYSTEM! Our choices have been eliminated by a lot of states that may not share my ideals. Bush's $3 trillion budget gives big boost to defense I am a little disappointed with the Superbowl. As gay as the sport is it was an interesting game - a real fight - but I would have rather seen a perfect perfect season than an upset. Yes, professional football is gay. It is a bunch of overgrown men wearing skin-tight, nylon, knee breeches (or Capri pants), knee high stockings and colorful jerseys with shoulder pads, playing grab-ass in an open field for a couple hours. As big and strong as these guys are, they have to stop the game every few seconds to take a break and rest up, then have to have half time to really catch their wind. The game involves huddling together, making passes at each other and ends with a lot of crying and hugging. And that does not even take into account the group showers. I have nothing against that lifestyle - it is just not a lifestyle for me. And Plaxico - I have not Googled that but was that the name of the pain killer they gave his mom in the hospital when she gave birth? Of course, I put mink oil on my boots yesterday. FEBRUARY 2, 2008 Life just gets better. Today I replaced the belt on our dryer. First, I searched the Googlenet looking for information and where to get parts. I looked in my home repair book, but not much information there. Finally, I called ARS, it was $60 just to get them to just come out and look. What could I do though. They said they would call back shortly and after an hour, I decided to go out on my own. Lowe's did not have belts, but recommended Sears. They told me roughly where the Sears parts store was, so on the way, I stopped at the nearby Sears. They gave me a map to the parts store and was sure it would be in stock. And it was. It took an end wrench and a small screwdriver and a bit of effort, but for $20 the dryer is working again. JANUARY 30, 2008 So, I spent a chunk of the weekend replacing the guts of a toilet, scrubbing grout with a toothbrush and scouring a bathtub. I am living the life. Now a study says that across the globe, middle age sucks. You start out young and hopeful, but by middle age you realize the best parts of your life are past and you stuck working a job just to get by, physically deteriorating, in a rut. It is only when you get older and can retire and go senile or reminisce about your youth that you start to get happy again.

JANUARY 18, 2008 It has been a long couple of days. I was thinking that I had taken too long to post something new, then realized it had only been a day. But I have a lot to be cranky about and not enough to time to write. In the wee hours of the morning while Mischief and Mayhem were zooming around the house at near light speed, I solved the problem with time travel. We CAN see into the fourth dimension. It is all so simple. Three D notions translate directly to Four D. It makes the mathematics incredibly more complicated, but could eliminate many of the problems in QM and cosmology - but may require rewriting EVERYTHING. Now, before you consign me to Crank.net, hear me out. You have probably heard it said that "you cannot be in two places at once." Now, take off "at once" and the statements is an accurate statement that applies to Einstein's four-dimensional space-time continuum. The "past" does not exist in the sense that space-time is expanding and matter is carried on the wave of that expansion. Just as matter is uniformly distributed through space, so to is matter uniformly distributed along the fourth dimension. When a GPS satellite "loses time" in orbit, it is not that time is slowing, but that the satellite is moving more slowly along the timeline. When we interact with the satellite, we are looking into the past. The satellite is in a different position on the timeline relative to the observer, but because space-time is contiguous, we can observe it. When an earthbound observer see the accelerating twin, the observer is literally looking into the past. The corectness of this as well as the implications should be obvious. JANUARY 17, 2008
Today, I am officially a cranky old man. What am I cranking about today? Astrophysics. Watched a Science Channel show on Dark Matter/Dark Energy. What a load of carp! Hmm, galaxies do not behave the way our current theory of gravity says it should. The theory MUST be right, so we are going to invent an invisible, undetectable substance (God) to make the theory work. Luckily, says the TV physicists, there is a partical - Weakly Interactive Massive Particle (WIMP) that fits the bill for dark matter. Oh good, they discovered a particle to explain dark matter. No? They didn't discover a particle? Oh, they JUST MADE IT UP. They have been trying for years to detect it and have not detected it yet. How many WIMPs can dance on the head of a pin? Same with virtual particles - particles claimed to exist to explain differences in theoritical masses of particles and resulting particles from collisions - these virtual particles are, by definition, impossible to detect. THIS IS ALL NIELS BOHR'S FAULT. He ruined physics. And time travel, in the science fiction sense is impossible, no matter what Kip Thorne or any of those crackpots say. A volume of matter cannot be in two places, even in four dimensions. Our past does not exist. JANUARY 6, 2008 HAPPY NEW YEAR!
9:45 AM Well, it has been a rough new year. I have been sick off and on for a month. I am actually considering the possibility that going to the doctor is an option. On the other hand, maybe I just need to practice the ancient art of nasal irrigation. |
