Note
Damn. Another 1st round of another NFL Draft has come and gone, and once more I have not been chosen. What is the matter with these people? Is my battle cry not full throated enough??? Are my sinews of steel not metallic enough? Is it that I prefer spinach to steak? Could it be that it's because they don't have NFL uniforms small enough to fit me that they aren't pulling the trigger? Oh, well, there's always next year.
Meanwhile, more snow this morning made if 5 days in a row for snow/graupel. Yeehaw!
And meanwhile meanwhile, there is pretty neat news out: a stamp is going to be released to mark the coming solar eclipse, and it's not going to be just any ordinary type of stamp either. With this stamp, if it's in some cool locale--say, like Wyoming--it will show an eclipsed sun. But if you take the stamp to some hotter-than-hell place like Dallas, TX, the image will change into an image of the moon. And if you then bring it back to Wyoming, maybe to the Plains of Despair, then the image will revert back to the eclipsed sun.
So where is this neat stamp going to be issued? Well, the eclipse is just about going to center line Casper, WY, so that would seem to be a pretty good choice. But that's not what they chose. Instead, it's going to be issued at the Art Museum of the University of Wyoming, which will be nowhere near the path of totality. And it's going to be issued on the Summer Solstice. (There is an obscure link between the solstice and the Art Museum, and so maybe therein lies the explanation.)
If all this news is not enough to knock you over with a feather, then too bad. You are just not the excitable type.
