6467 Morning, Take 2. (email post)

Teach me to upgrade my client and try to post from it first thing in the
morning. Entry kaput, and I had to head out the door before I had time to
reconstruct. Some day Ill learn to keep entries in notepad, or only upgrade my
client after its had a week to filter out some of the more annoying bugs.

Went to bed extra early last night, and woke up slowly. Newt woke at about the
same rate I did, and rolled to stay aligned to my shifting body as I got my
parts to start working in reasonable concert.

Its a gray morning weather is cool, sky looks like it would rain if it could
get that one last bit of water inside the clouds to push through. A dark black
wall over the West side of town tells me that the needed moisture will be
available soon. I had pleasant thoughts of my beloved as I looked at the
horizon and contemplated her rising to meet the day, and us going together on
our sunrise journeys.

I hope the rest of my morning is as nice as my starting launch and dream.

I've been getting the urge to box lately. Work the heavy bag, the speed bag, build up my arm strength and precision, and to bleed off any aggressive tendencies that might build up. I've been sort of isolated recently.. havent's spent too much time with my sweetheart, thereians, Danny or the like in a while now. It's sort of a bummer, but it will pass. The only exception is Sammy, of late, and that's because he swore off FFXI cold turkey, I think.

Scientists believe they have discovered the cause of crop failures and summer frosts some 1,500 years ago – a comet colliding with Earth. The team has been studying evidence from tree rings, which suggests that the Earth underwent a series of very cold summers around 536-540 AD, indicating an effect rather like a nuclear winter. The scientists believe this was caused by a comet hitting the earth and exploding in the upper atmosphere. The debris from this giant explosion was such that it enveloped the earth in soot and ash, blocking out the sunlight and causing the very cold weather. ( Read more... )

The well-known extrasolar planet HD 209458b, provisionally nicknamed 'Osiris', has surprised astronomers again. Oxygen and carbon have been found in its atmosphere, evaporating at such an immense rate that the existence of a new class of extrasolar planets – 'the chthonian planets' or 'dead' cores of completely evaporated gas giants - has been proposed.( Read more... )
