Catching Ducks: January 2006
http://mamurd.blogspot.com/2006_01_01_archive.html
My pride and joy, etc. I've been having issues with my household technology lately. I've had DVD's that won't play, a computer that freezes up under the slightest provocation, and now a TV that's "backfeeding" power, causing my cable (and, since it went through the same wires, my internet) to go out. Maybe I'll look into that Luddite thing. Except that would mean giving up my microwave. Never mind! Posted by mamurd @ 11:30 AM 1 comments. Tales from the World of Retail.

Catching Ducks: November 2005
http://mamurd.blogspot.com/2005_11_01_archive.html
My pride and joy, etc. So Last night during one of my dreams there was this lake. And I was told the temperature of the lake was 109 degrees. I was quite freaked. When I had to traverse it, I was very careful not to get any of the water on me (there were dry spots and trees I used to get across). However. I saw other people wading through (apparently it was a shallow. Lake), and they weren't being burned like I expected. When I woke up this morning I figured it out: To me, 109 means 109 Celsius.

Just Asking: March 2007

Wednesday, March 28, 2007. I realized that we conservatives seem to be losing a war of words. Congress is voting on withdrawing from the "Iraq War" today. But Iraq is not a "War" but a "Battle". Withdrawing from the Iraqi Battle will not end the war, but it does guarantee that we will lose that battle, which would be a major setback in the War against Terrorists.

Just Asking: February 2007

Sunday, February 25, 2007. The Chilly Hill is a annual bike ride event on an island in Pugut Sound. 33 miles, hilly with over 2,600 feet gain and loss, and chilly, since it is always held in February. I rode it in the mid-80's and again this year. It was easier last time. There were probably over 1,000, maybe 1,500 riders on my ferry to the island. It took me about 3.5 hours to ride the course. Here is a photo of the 1,000 or so riders loading onto the return ferry. Posted by Pedicularis @ 9:43 PM. Histo...

Catching Ducks: April 2005

My pride and joy, etc. Here in the northern hemisphere, summer is fast approaching. People are all cheerful about the blue skies, lack of rain, and warmer temperatures. Blue skies, no rain, and warm temperatures! I want clouds, and rain, and COLD! If one more person mentions the "nice" weather, I think I'm going to SCREAM. Posted by mamurd @ 6:25 PM 5 comments.

Wednesday, November 29, 2006. I had a bout with PVD over the weekend. I had flashing lights in my eyes and more floaters. I was afraid I had a detached retina, so I went to an eye doctor. I had never heard of PVD, but apparently it is quite common in old folks my age. The following quote from a medical web page describes my experiences pretty accurately:.

Monday, January 29, 2007. My current favority homemade latte flavor is a splash of eggnog soy coffee creamer along with a half cup of chocolate soy milk. I make it with regular coffee. The first time I tried it I did not greatly like it, but the second cup was yummy. :). Posted by Pedicularis @ 8:58 AM. Sunday, January 28, 2007. Posted by Pedicularis @ 10:51 PM.

Just Asking: December 2006

Thursday, December 28, 2006. What I am and what I am not. I consider myself to be halfway between an engineer (who actually designs and oversees construction of things) and a scientist (who collects and analyzes data on scientific topics). I think of myself as a "Physical scientist" and I prefer to work in the world of Newtonian physics (no relativity, no high-energy physics). Posted by Pedicularis @ 9:21 PM.
