Oh dear and I had such simple things to talk about.

One, I was in a physics class yesterday, but the class was anatomy and physiology (fine with me they were just taking a test on the heart and I had to proctor... .li'l dahlings are such cheaters sometimes). Anyway discounting the fact that heart cells seem to beat on their own, with no input from the vagel nerve sometimes..... I wound up staring at a poster of light waves on the wall (trying to stay awake, short on sleep, very quiet test room... buzzzz) so different light is a change in frequency. So what about amplitude? Amplitude is just intensity in light waves, right? (thinking of waveforms).

Sphinx if you want something fun, and proof of wave forms all around us, go to about 7 degrees below the Equator, and right direct south of the tip of India. Zoom in. You'll find the Chagos Archipeligo. Look to the north end of Diego Garcia. Between the "toes" in the Footprint of Freedom. You'll see a perfect example of a double slit experiment with waves.

You can do the same with light, therefore light is a wave. Light bends the same way water waves do. But light ALSO comes in bundles, which are susceptible to statistical analysis (see Heisenberg). So light is a peculiar mix of energy and matter. They're still trying to untangle it.

The other cosmic thing I did today.......... the weather channel was running a special, talking about the reversal of the magnetic poles (of the Earth). We are overdue for one, and the magnetosphere seems to be getting weaker all the time. In other words, there is strong evidence we'll have one happen soon. As the magnetic field weakens, more cosmic rays come in, and are probably heating up the Earth. Sounds like a good explanation for yes, the climbing temperatures of the oceans. Cosmic rays coming on into the lower atmosphere are badology. No more sunbathing for me!

The layers of the Earth between the mantle and the crust, and the layer between the mantle and core, appear to be viscous. I'm wondering what they could be composed of. If you consider the formation of the Earth, the heavy stuff must have sunk to the middle, the lighter stuff is on the outside. So is the Earth's core uranium? Iridium? (I lay awake at night thinking about these things). Was Charles Hapgood right all along, will it all slide and move around unexpectedly, and leave major gashes in continental configurations? Like happened at the end of the 2nd age in Middle Earth, when Numenor (Atlantis) was lost?

My point being, correlation does NOT imply causation. A rise in technology causing a rise in CO2 ("carbon footprint") is correlated with "global warming" but may or may not be the causal factor. I just want to scream and slap people when I see politicians out beating the "global warming" drums again, as they do every summer. I think the answer to "global climate change" is much more complex than "too many cars" and we might not be able to control the outcome at all. We are probably arrogant to think we can.

Maybe if we all stare at the sun long enough, observing it, we can change it. Yeah that's gonna happen!!! Then we can stare at the stars like Elves and see if we can disturb their paths as well.

The bottom line: we sure can't do anything to stop the magnetic field change. No one is to blame, we are victims of cosmic happenings. I think I'll put 2012 on again tonight and get good and scared. That is after I find a decent bed to sleep in........ this place is a wreck!!!!

Sigh back to house cleaning. Nice to see both of you guys, take care out there and get your sleep!

After I shook the cobwebs from my mind, I concluded the same as you with the waves.... it just struck me for a moment. All waves have three dimensions don't they? since we live in at least a three dimensional world. For some odd reason we only think of the two flat dimensions, wavelength (frequency) and amplitude. Just pondering aimlessly.......... I look forward to the cheerios and hope they don't pop off the page into the Z axis!!!

Good answer on the question. $20/ is darn cheap. I've upped my counseling fees from $100/hr to $150/hr and that's a discount. One of the reasons I stopped arguing with the insane people on the Moody nets... they were getting free psychological help, I finally realized. I should hang out a shingle. Dealing with resistance in argumentative clients is like banging your head against the wall. It feels SOOOOOOoooo good when you finally stop!

Now THIS is really cool. I presume they compared spectral "fingerprints" and found him...... it's a cool thought.

BTW Delta needs to do better maintenance on their static discharge wicks. OOoook St Elmo's in the tube!!!

and I found another one about sprites!!!

I'm conflicted and "a trooper" to do ANYTHING Moody these days. Addiction is not pretty. But it's life blood while addicted....

Fiddle dee dee fiddle dee dee
A fly has married a bumblebee.............

leslee I ain't never done no gal, and don't plan to start NOW! heheh keep yer toenails to yourself! many things I am, that is not one of them. I must come over too rough and tough, you'd be surprised how many people tag me as walking the Wild Side. Nope.......... I don't think so.

It's possible I was a dude in a prior life, but have no desire to be one again, that's for sure. Teaching is nice, soft, feminine.... so is sewing, knitting, cooking, house cleaning........ thank you, domestic mavin here, a sus ordines.....

It's all that spontaneity in your soul... I seem to recall you jumped out of the car and did a jig at one point, it fell out then I think. I was that way in college, doing a drama degree. Had to clean up my act when I went to work on jet engines.

Just focus on what you enjoy and try to make money at it. Like sewing (you're good at it) and doing hair. Stay on task.

gotta go to bed... knackered. Short nights, can't sleep right. I really don't like White nights at all..........

I'm still marveling (seriously) about how you turned that top into a skirt that looked pretty good. I didn't look too closely, but I was rather impressed.

See I told you those sirens would do you in. Now you're spouting Greek like Percy Jackson and Annabeth.

Justin's smeller is burnt out, don't worry about it. I hauled all my brother's books to him and he informed me that they all smelled like mold! Alas when I returned to my home, it also smelled like mold!!! We have an inescapable problem in this part of the country with moisture... we live with it, and now I don't notice it (been home a few weeks) It's nice to be someone with a stopped up nose, because the ugly smells don't come through then! Alas neither do the floral scents in the Springtime.

If people scream at you about simple life choices, find new people. I have a marvelous cockroach stare (not a glare, a stare) I use on people who want me to please them. They shut up when I use it............. hehehe teachers know all the tricks.

Beeeeeee yourself (Robin Williams as the Genie) People either like you or they don't, don't try to please.
