    Nicolae Miu on trial...

    Maybe I haven't watched enough, but was the defendant also drinking? Yeah, I know these river drifts are all about drinking, but just curious. On a side note, I will be shocked if he's found guilty of anything.

    Solar Eclipse

    I remember it being more "yellowed" than darkened up on Fort Berthold. There were a couple of weeks where the cars just seemed to have a little extra dust on them. Years later, I would get into heated discussions with a professor of mine who claimed ash from Saint Helens didn't make it to ND.

    Solar Eclipse

    Probably depends very strongly on your location. In ND, no. Within 10-15 miles of Mt Saint Helens, probably.

    Nicolae Miu on trial...

    The "Pack Mentality" is nothing short of human behavior at its worst.

    "Conspiracy Theory" or not?

    The U.S. has been pre-positioning supplies all around the world for many decades. Sometimes they get used, other times they get repositioned to a new area of concern. This is more of a proving right of the decisions made by those tasked with knowing where the bigger concerns are likely to...

    Baltimore bridge collapse

    Why? Because it could easily be construed as an act of war which demands a military response. With today's spy networks, moles in high places, etc, etc, there should be zero expectation of being able to keep anything like that a secret. Something like this would leave a trail that can't be...

    Tractors

    There's something to be said about that. I don't know anyone who owns a Branson or Mahindra, but at their price-point, I can't imagine there aren't a lot more around than I once thought. I drive green (JD), and have for pretty much my entire life. Started with a B and 70, moved on up to an...

    Eating fish eggs

    Ah hah, that's why I never ran across them. Sushi and sashimi are not on my list of things to eat. Rice better be fried, fish need to be cooked, and WTF is with that sea weed (kelp?) wrapping?

    Eating fish eggs

    Oddly, while I agree the Asian people tend to be fine connoisseurs of the odd, I don't remember seeing them as an option. Water bugs, minnows in a glass of water, squirming octopus on the plate, larvae, fried flies, monkey, dog, and bolut (baked bird in the shell) are all on the menu depending...

    Eating fish eggs

    Hah, over a beer a couple months ago, a buddy and I both mentioned we had never tried caviar and was wondering if it was as big of a deal as the rich and famous make it out to be. $150 for 2 ounces of paddlefish caviar from Amazon, some $40 worth of blini and sour cream later, only to discover...

    Snowpocalypse

    Nothing worth doing is very easy as a rule, but gotta hand it to you...you were the first to recognize that this one was going to fall short of expectations across a large area. Which does happen occasionally, but I think that's often due to using too broad of a brush to make sure the...

    Morel mushrooms

    The shrooms themselves.

    Snowpocalypse

    It isn't supposed to start getting wound up until later tonight and into tomorrow.

    Snowpocalypse

    Here's a Percent of Normal Precipitation map for the Canada to Kansas part of the country. At this point, it hasn't been as dry as one might think. My pond in the backyard has filled and spilled already this year.

    Snowpocalypse

    It doesn't take a genius to expect a spring snow or rain event in late March or early April. After Jan and Feb, monthly precip totals do nothing but go up, so using anything 90 days out to say it was expected because of XXX is fairly ridiculous. It's kind of like saying "90 days after a spring...

    Snowpocalypse

    Not to be a Debbie Downer, but don't look at the backend of the models for next weekend. Too far out for much certainty, but thus far it looks like a "rinse and repeat" of this week.

    Chrysler Turbine Car

    Yep, I remember reading about that one as a kid. I think it was soon eliminated via rule changes. https://www.speedsport.com/other-series/racing-history/milestone-moments-the-turbine-powered-indy-car/
