Calgary pipe follies

 

I didn't realize how thin the concrete was with those pipes.  Boy, did they buy a bag of socks!  That pipe salesperson was the best!  Like I've always said, the money is in selling stupid stuff to stupid people.  I don't have any money.  I've offended stupid people all my life.

In my note on the physics of this, I wrote it late at night, way past my expiry time.  I forgot to mention that the mechanism for this is not slow wire break.  That's the only thing they can see with an electromagnetic survey.  We have a slow wire stretch, as the wires weaken under stress corrosion.  The exact same mechanism as earthquakes.  I wish them luck, but I'm glad I'm not living there.

ps live longer, inject more awe into your life.  I am astounded at this.  Who could believe it?

ps for example, I handle trumpy doomscrolling by being totally in awe that he still lives.

Totally static weather

 I didn't need to put this out.  Everything is exactly the same as yesterday.  Never seen this.

It's Groundhog Day!

In a nutshell, the Arctic is continuously streaming cold to Europe.  This is diverting the weak Atlantic plumes over to Greenland.  The Arctic basin cooling vortex is not starting.  The chaos has broken into a new mechanism, and I don't know what that is.

ps the official warmie explanation according to FB is that climate change extreme warmth has melted the fence to the polar cold, and the Polar Vortex is just melting all over us, like ice cream.  No forecast on how long this will last.

However, I can't find any pat explanation in the news.

The Dance of Garbage

 There is great beauty in the every day.  This lady is a garbage arteest.  

This should be to music.
