Our internet and incidentally the landlilne were out much of the afternoon. Thank goodness for mobile phones.
I remember enjoying Doug McClure's adventure movies, though I only saw a couple on TV not in the cinima. So I was excited to find At the Earth's Core on DVD. But the topmost userr review stopped mee in my tracks. According to this review, the DVD transfer is very badly engineered, to the point of the top of people's heads getting cut off. A major let down! OTOH a little further search showed that the movie could still be bought on VHS. PHEW! It was a reasonable price, so I bought it. Disappointing about the DVD, but there it is.
Just before the "severe thunderstorm warning" expired, we got a thunderstorm. Not particularly severe, though. No hail at all, much less the 2-inchers this morning's newspaper predicted.
More rain and thunder, but the rain is fairly gentle. Not what I would really call a thunderstorm. Still, this adds to what was already the rainiest June ever in the Chicago area.
Clear, warm afternoon, evening--and out of nowhere, lost electric for three hours. . . . There was supposed to be a four hour planned outage tomorrow morning, which they delayed, lol!
Hi! Will be getting a little homeworkwork done soon. Just not yet. Still no news about the progress of the DUI murder case that got me on television last week. Maybe the jury is deliberating.
Alan, I absolutely loved the link to the article that confirms by a study what our priest knew in under an hour. He must have been sure about us because he even told us he was happy to do our wedding, and that he was tired of seeing couples he'd married break up. We stayed in touch with him and got together with him at our 25th anniversary ~ which he was so pleased about. He died a couple of years ago at age 89. I know he'd be very happy for and with us now.
I thought it was quite a coincidence that I happened to stumble across that article shortly after reading your post. It prompted me to look at our interactions, and sure enough--those positive interactions are the normal sort of thing between us, and with practice we have become more proficient at it. It's mind boggling that such a simple observation can have such strong predictive value. I am not surprised in the least that an attentive person could, indeed would, intuit what the scholars quantitated.
The Internet continues to amaze me. I managed to find and get a copy of a single scholarly paper that covers all the bases I need for revision of one part of a standard handout of mine. I thought I would be lucky to find what I needed in two or three papers. Now to relax a bit, and compare my new and old headphones by switching them while listening to the same CD. And then to bed.
June or July, Rain or shine. Hot weather or cool, However is FIRST.
ReplyDeleteDid I actually write However rather than Howard? Bad eyes or bad mind from old age?
DeleteThe blog ate my post again!

Thanks, Cat. I'm passing along the word.
