Perspectives of a Canadian in the Old/Deep/New/Geographic South: This is where I ramble on about nothing in particular and post a few nice pictures.
And I missed them! Why didn’t anybody tell me! They were practically underneath my office in the ‘Confederate Steam Gun ‘ episode that aired last night.
The Mythbusting trio of Grant, Tory and Kari were here checking out the fMRI lie detecting research going on. Not sure when it was filmed, but they were here getting scanned on the 3T magnet to see if they could beat the fMRI lie detector.
Oh, I’m so bummed I missed seeing that go on.
Don’t forget the December meetup at El Bohio (check the map if you need directions) this Saturday, December 8 at 6:30.
I’ll be there early to make sure we have a big enough space. From the comments so far it looks like around 8-10 people. If you’re planning on coming (or even a maybe) leave a comment.
Seriously, what’s with all the wailing and gnashing of teeth by the TV weather people over snow and how it’s all coming down weeks before the official start of winter? This morning I heard 3 separate weather people lament about all those places in the northeast and midwest getting dumped on and how winter doesn’t even officially start for another three weeks.
Really now, you’re supposed to be weather professionals. Snow is a fact of life in these places. The real story should be why hasn’t the snow come earlier like it’s supposed to? Is anybody living in a winter city really all that surprised they’re getting snow? Most of them are probably more surprised the snow didn’t come three weeks ago.
When it 30 cm of snow falls in a place like Charleston, that’s a worthy weather story. The snow that’s falling in the northeast and midwest? That’s just normal.
