A few weeks ago, I was asked if something I said was true (right now I can’t remember what it was). And I said, “If true to false was a sliding scale, it is much closer to true than false.”

Since then, Sheesha, Porter and I put everything on a sliding scale, whether it be the “true to false” or “good to poop” variety.

We also sometimes use the one to shitty scale, as in, “On a scale of one to shitty, this isn’t so shitty.”

It goes with our percentage rating of activities. Like there is a 15% chance I will make it to lunch. Or there is a 90% chance I think my paper will be done today.

Which brings me to another one of our favorite sayings, “Paperwriting is fun. Like a stomach pump.” Feel free to insert any activity you like here. Like “shopping for a new car is fun. Like a stomach pump.”

Seeing as Winemonkey just told his landlords/bosses that he and his brother are totally moved out, I figured I would post a picture I took in the vineyard outside their house. For all of you wine lovers, can you tell me what kind of grapes this vine will grow? I might have a small prize for someone who guesses it right…

So does anyone out there who is using WordPress know how to install plug-ins? How about a good statistical plug in? How about something that does basic statistics for ANY website…

Anyone?

Anyone?

Am I listening to the sounds of crickets here?

I live in Yolo County in CA. There are about 4 fires going on at the moment. The sun is blocked out of sight because of the smoke. The air quality is horrendous. On Tuesday, when I was walking to class, I actually had difficulty breathing because there was so much garbage in the air. It was hard to see. It looks like it is going to rain today, but really it is just all of the particles in the air. I wish my digitial camera would capture just what it is like here, but I don’t think that it will.

I realize that this is a nerdy post. I study the atmosphere and days like today sicken me. They are also the reason why I will be able to find gainful employment in this state.
