Devils kettle on the Brule river is one of my favs.. Water goes in a rock hole and no one knows where it comes out.. People tried to put dye in it, ping pong balls, etc, to try to to see.. Who knows. Cool place.. It's right near the Canadian border at the last state park.. Judge C.R. Magney. [attach=full]2010[/attach] [attach=full]2011[/attach] [attach=full]2012[/attach]

Cool pic of Mercury today.. Enhanced Color Caloris Image Credit: Courtesy of Science/AAAS [attach=full]1746[/attach] Explanation: The sprawling Caloris basin on Mercury is one of the solar system's largest impact basins. Created during the early history of the solar system by the impact of a large asteroid-sized body, the basin spans about 1,500 kilometers and is seen in yellowish hues in this enhanced color mosaic. The image data is from the January 14th flyby of the MESSENGER spacecraft, captured with the MDIS instrument. Orange splotches around the basin's perimeter are now thought to be volcanic vents, new evidence that Mercury's smooth plains are indeed lava flows. Other discoveries at Mercury by NASA's MESSENGER mission include evidence that Mercury, like planet Earth, has a global magnetic field generated by a dynamo process in its large core, and that Mercury's surface has contracted significantly as its core cooled.

I think they would be grossly over-estimating our ability to manipulate oil prices.. Plus, we'd be selling it high to ourselves.. And prolly buying it higher from arabs who know we have none and would have no problem cutting back production for two months to maintain their black gold standard..

Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald Gordon Lightfoot The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee The lake, it is said, never gives up her dead When the skies of November turn gloomy. With a load of iron ore - 26,000 tons more Than the Edmund Fitzgerald weighed empty That good ship and true was a bone to be chewed When the gales of November came early The ship was the pride of the American side Coming back from some mill in Wisconson As the big freighters go it was bigger than most With a crew and the Captain well seasoned. Concluding some terms with a couple of steel firms When they left fully loaded for Cleveland And later that night when the ships bell rang Could it be the North Wind they'd been feeling. The wind in the wires made a tattletale sound And a wave broke over the railing And every man knew, as the Captain did, too, T'was the witch of November come stealing. The dawn came late and the breakfast had to wait When the gales of November came slashing When afternoon came it was freezing rain In the face of a hurricane West Wind When supper time came the old cook came on deck Saying fellows it's too rough to feed ya At 7PM a main hatchway caved in He said fellas it's been good to know ya. The Captain wired in he had water coming in And the good ship and crew was in peril And later that night when his lights went out of sight Came the wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. Does anyone know where the love of God goes When the words turn the minutes to hours The searchers all say they'd have made Whitefish Bay If they'd fifteen more miles behind her. They might have split up or they might have capsized They may have broke deep and took water And all that remains is the faces and the names Of the wives and the sons and the daughters. Lake Huron rolls, Superior sings In the ruins of her ice water mansion Old Michigan steams like a young man's dreams, The islands and bays are for sportsmen. And farther below Lake Ontario Takes in what Lake Erie can send her And the iron boats go as the mariners all know With the gales of November remembered. In a musty old hall in Detroit they prayed In the Maritime Sailors' Cathedral The church bell chimed, 'til it rang 29 times For each man on the Edmund Fitzgerald. The legend lives on from the Chippewa on down Of the big lake they call Gitche Gumee Superior, they say, never gives up her dead When the gales of November come early.

Two whole months? Wow... we're saved. Way to go Naaaaaaancy...

What gets me is why "we" believe it has to be an either or choice between these two guys? It's like choosing between a finger up the ass or a poke in the eye..

Let that be a lesson to ya... I suppose I can make an exception in your case as long as you agree to see a therapist in the morning about your passive/aggressive narcissism...

Lime? Not interested...

Chi, I think you're an elegant woman and here's how this is gonna go... First off, I'm a total catch and every woman on the face of the Earth is jealous that I'm even talking to you right now. Second, I'm going to shower, hop in one of two minivans and depart for Chi town where I should arrive sometime between 9 - 11pm cst where you will be waiting for me in a wading pool filled with cherry jello completely naked... If not, you have severe mental problems and I'm no longer interested..

The Southern Cross in a Southern Sky Credit & Copyright: Yuri Beletsky (ESO) [attach=full]1745[/attach] Explanation: This breathtaking patch of sky would be above you were you to stand at the South Pole of the Earth. On the upper left of this image are the four stars that mark the boundaries of the famous Southern Cross. At the top of this constellation, also known as The Crux, is the orange star Gamma Crucis. The band of stars, dust, and gas crossing the middle of the photograph is part our Milky Way Galaxy. Just below the Southern Cross on the far left is the dark Coal Sack Nebula, and the bright nebula on the far right is the Carina Nebula. The Southern Cross is such a famous constellation that it is depicted on the national flag of Australia.

Carnival Natalie Merchant Ive walked these streets A virtual stage It seemed to me Make up on their faces Actors took their Places next to me Ive walked these streets In a carnival Of sights to see All the cheap thrill seekers The vendors and the dealers They crowded around me Have I been blind Have I been lost Inside my self and My own mind Hypnotized Mesmerized By what my eyes have seen? Ive walked these streets In a spectacle of wealth and poverty In the diamond markets The scarlet welcome carpet That they just rolled out for me Ive walked these streets In the mad house asylum They can be Where a wild eyed misfit prophet On a traffic island stopped And he raved of saving me Have I been blind Have I been lost Inside my self and My own mind Hypnotized Mesmerized By what my eyes have seen? Have I been wrong Have I been wise To shut my eyes And play along Hypnotized Paralyzed By what my eyes have found By what my eyes have seen What they have seen? Have I been blind Have I been lost Inside my self and My own mind Hypnotized Mesmerized By what my eyes have found In that great street carnival In that carnival?

Zero Joe = Dumbass...

I did call... yep, they got all 4 of em... Hopefully they'll learn a lesson.. Watched em go up and down the street trying every car. Saw em in at least 4 cars.. Apparently, they were all over the neighborhoods on the north end of town ransacking cars that night the police told me a few days later..

5 over par 76 today... Best evahhhhhhhh. Yay me.

So I woulda been twice the hero had I ended the lives of four 15 -17 year olds for breaking into my nieghbors cars rather than just call the police and let them do their job? I can see the appeal of that.. in Iran, Russia, China, and Hades..

SN 1006 Supernova Remnant Credit: X-ray - NASA/CXC/Rutgers/G.Cassam-Chenai, J.Hughes et al.; Radio - NRAO/AUI/NSF/GBT/VLA/ Dyer, Maddalena & Cornwell; Optical - Middlebury College/F.Winkler, NOAO/AURA/NSF/CTIO Schmidt & DSS [attach=full]1744[/attach] Explanation: A new star, likely the brightest supernova in recorded human history, lit up planet Earth's sky in the year 1006 AD. The expanding debris cloud from the stellar explosion, found in the southerly constellation of Lupus, still puts on a cosmic light show across the electromagnetic spectrum. In fact, this composite view includes X-ray data in blue from the Chandra Observatory, optical data in yellowish hues, and radio image data in red. Now known as the SN 1006 supernova remnant, the debris cloud appears to be about 60 light-years across and is understood to represent the remains of a white dwarf star. Part of a binary star system, the compact white dwarf gradually captured material from its companion star. The buildup in mass finally triggered a thermonuclear explosion that destroyed the dwarf star. Because the distance to the supernova remnant is about 7,000 light-years, that explosion actually happened 7,000 years before the light reached Earth in 1006. Shockwaves in the remnant accelerate particles to extreme energies and are thought to be a source of the mysterious cosmic rays.
