Maybe I'll have to have a few when I'm in Vegas next month.

 Shocked Shocked Shocked

Did I miss a memo??!!


Nope, just a convention I attend every year. Usually it's right around St. Patrick's Day, but this year it's the last week of April.


let it all ride on 4 corners 23,24,26,27!!!

I don't usually gamble in Vegas, hard to find tables with low enough stakes, at least anywhere near the strip which is where we always end up staying. I usually play some 21 when we pass through Mesquite, but I'm flying this year. I'm staying at my friend's place for a few nights after the convention, and he might drag me out to one of those "locals only" type casinos. Even so, I can guarantee that I will not be playing anything outside of 21 and maybe a little craps if I get drunk enough.

Trust me, we work as hard as we play. (Well, almost. But the playing makes the working all that much harder, if you catch my drift.)

Ooh, it's very exciting! It's called Medtrade, and it's a convention of Durable Medical Equipment (DME) manufacturers, suppliers, and dealers. I get to sit in marketing seminars and legislative updates for hours at a time. After that they've got a huge display floor of all the newest DME gizmos- shower chairs, commodes, hospital beds, bidets, power wheelchairs, canes, oxygen equipment and supplies, CPAPs, you name it! You're envious now, right?

I tried once, but I think I was doing it backwards because all I ended up with was severe intestinal cramping and a mouth full of water.

"This snake oil is really silly...Line up 10 experts, your choice, and tell them to predict the temperature to within 1 degree next week...9 out of 10 will be wrong...And these clowns are saying they can predict a 7/10'ths increase in 100 yrs?"

rivers / lakes  that no longer sustain life because of industrial pollution/toxification ?
hunting species to extinction ?
strip mining ?
worldwide chemical/biological  weapons based terrorism?

etc etc etc

regarding the Mars story,  LMAO

there are far more studies showing solar irradiance has DECREASED  than increased in the last few years (but let's assume it's increasing, just for kicks).  mars thermal inertia....    combined with the fact that Mars is typically 220,000,000 km from the Sun, Earth is 150,000,000 from the sun....   radiation power descreases with the square of distance.....   and that Mars has an atmospheric CO2 pressure of about 6 millibar and the earth has an atmospheric CO2 partial pressure of about 3.5 millibar ... it's no wonder nobody agrees with that kook.


Oh, and ... umm...  right now it's summer on the South Pole of Mars.
