Time is speeding by

This is the end of February, March starts tomorrow, just think after all that snow and sleet and wind and cold...

In a few weeks we should be able to use the other "F" word...

Smoking after sex...

Everyone has heard about...

Some people do it...usually smokers....

You don't hear too many cases of non-smokers smoking after sex...

It's not like sex "causes" smoking...

But, well...it's done....

So it leaves me with a question in mind...

Isn't there some type of time limit in regards to..."after sex"?

I got a good one for you

The definition of a "Civil Twilight" is...

The time between the moment of sunset, when the sun's apparent upper edge is just at the horizon, until the center of the sun is 6° directly below the horizon.

How the hell can you tell?

If the top of the sun is at the edge of visibility ad the center of the sun is below the horizon, ie,out of sight, How the hell can you tell when the center is at 6° of anything?

And does it happen sooner for some one who is five feet tall than for the guy who is six foot two? Or..Visa versa.

Information no one needs

Tonight your moon will be Gibbous.....waning...

I'll bet you were waiting to find THAT out...

Now ask the real question...

What the heck is a Gibbous moon?

The Moon appears to be more than one-half but not fully illuminated by direct sunlight. 

Waning means The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is decreasing, as opposed to "Waxing" which would mean the fraction is increasing.

Phew...I'll bet knowing that tidbit of information will take the sweat off your brow.

klay

I guess that if you are going into an on ramp and the corner kept getting tighter then that would mean the corner has a Waning Radius.

GRENADE

A hand grenade delivered in a coffee cup led to the evacuation of the city hall annex at 999 Broad St. around 11 a.m. Wednesday.

Police said an unknown man approached someone outside the building and asked him to deliver a package to the Office of Internal Affairs. The suspect stated that the item was expected and the man obliged, bringing what appeared to be a cup of coffee with a lid into the building, Bridgeport police spokesman William Kaempffer said.

Investigators discovered that the cup actually contained what appeared to be a hand grenade, said Kaempffer.

The state police bomb squad was called in and removed the item, Kaempffer said.

The Bridgeport Detective Bureau is investigating the scene to collect evidence and interview witnesses who might help identity the unknown man, said Kaempffer.

"We are actively investigating this as a criminal act," said Police Chief Joseph L. Gaudett Jr.

Approximately 250 employees were evacuated and Broad Street was closed in the area as authorities investigated.

A little shaky with booze

       I have been bothering the Diner in Mystic to get Jack     Daniels and Jack Honey. After about a month and a half they informed me that Jack had arrived, but the morning manager was still working on the powers to get Jack Honey.

       So I came in one morning , Ahmmm...afternoon, and order a coffee and a shot of JD. I sat back and waited...after a couple minutes went by the coffee arrived. (They grind the beans there now, just started this week, Great improvement),  So I put the cream in the coffee and waited, no shot, (by the way, the shots there are actually Jiggers). I waited...and did I mention I waited? After about seven minutes I took a big deep chug of coffee. I found the JD. The hostess saw my eyes go large and came over to see if everything was alright. I explained, she cracked up. I have never really been a fan of polluting my coffee with booze or my booze with anything. I drank it.

     Yesterday the waitress, Rosa, came over to me at breakfast to tell me they had Jack Honey now. Excellent. 

      Last night I went there for supper, had a Wolverine Burger (which was really tasty but I hope it the meat was actually cow and not wolverine), and a coffee. 

Then I went to the Nursing home, picked up my father, who had been visiting my mother, and took him back there for supper, I had coffee. As I sat there I remembered the Jack. So I flagged Rosa over and asked for a shot of honey, she sprinted off to get it. A few minutes later she came back with a little plastic cup filled with the gold. It seemed strange right away, It looked more like a gold jello shot than a jigger of booze. On closer examination I discovered she had indeed given me what I asked for, a shot of honey, you know, the stuff Bees poop out. I called her back over, and told her I wanted Honey, not honey. After a second or so I endured another waitress laughing fit, before she took off and came back with the Jack Honey.

     They do pretty good there at food, the booze service though...a little shaky.

This struck me as REALLY funny

Of course...it might just be because I work for BMW.

It's that time of year again

You spent winter sitting around the house waiting for nice weather, now it's almost here, maybe it's time to think about trading that bike in for something else.

So I've searched the world to see what's out there so you'll have some idea of what you might want.

Need a couple more ideas?

here you go...

Because kids look cool wearing a helmet

Especially when it's bigger than they are...
