Double Rainbow


My Mom used to tell me that a rainbow was God's way of telling us his promise to never flood the earth again like he did with Noah.
.
But what Mom forgot to tell me is that a double rainbow is a double reflection of sunlight inside the raindrops, and appear at an angle of 50°–53°. As a result of the second reflection, the colours of a secondary rainbow are inverted compared to the primary bow, with blue on the outside and red on the inside.

Playground Fail


My version of Failblog.org.
.
I am no expert on the subject but I am pretty darn sure that a swing set needs to be level and not going with the slope of the yard.

You can see this in person at the corner of Laidlaw and Saltzman.

Where the heck is Adam?

Does anyone know what happened to the Adam Carolla show? I hate the Howard Stern Show and was glad to see it go. Adam is where it's at! But BAM! he is gone and they replaced it with this Rick Emerson Show on 101 which is by far the worst morning show I have ever heard. And that is saying something as 99% of all morning shows Suck. Talent is not a requirement in these shows. A few crank calls and a posse of idiots laughing at each other's bad jokes is all it takes to make a show. Adam had talent. Please tell me where the heck he went.... Please!

As for 101 KUFO. There is absolutely no reason to go to that station anymore. Time to erase it from my Radio Memory.

Did you see what was on the radio yesterday?

Man Hunt.... You can help?



Patty and I were watching the late night news and they were talking about a murder down in Salem. They gave a description of the suspect:

Caucasian, 6 feet tall, 180lbs, wearing black and a ski mask.

If ANY of you see someone that meets this description, you need to call the authorities. Generally, when I see someone wandering about wearing black and a ski mask I think nothing of it. Now I have to think again.

12 hours of Sunlight



OK, Oregonians. We are half way there. Yesterday was the midpoint of the minimal amount of Sun and the maximum amount of sun in a given day. We are getting about 12 hours right now. The low point is at Winter Solstice and is a tad less than 9 hours. Summer Solstice peaks the sunlight at around 15 hours.

I bet back in the old days, the farmers loved the winter months because if they lived by the adage where they wake up with the Sunrise and in bed by sunset, they got lots of sleep. I would like a 15 hour sleep season.
