Appropriate for the season.

Agreed, Isaac C, at that point it doesn’t matter if C or F. FWIW, the exact point of intersection is -40.

Sunshine?????? I am jealous. All winter long I console myself by remembering that it is six months to be enjoyed without mosquitos (or lawnmowers) but the lack of bright sunlight gets tedious.

Hopefully, there’ll be a rematch Mongo. Every postseason should have a Steeler/Ravens snot knocker to show the rest of the NFL how it’s done. Rex tried to take a facsimile up to New York; but has recently been distracted uploading videos of his wife’s feet (ha!) and whatever immature distraction du jor he’s whipped up for the media. As much as I hate the Steelers, it’s a respectful hate, and I actually really like the ‘Burgh. It’s like a big fancy Harpers Ferry up in them thar hills. It’s the Manhattan of Appalachia. Seriously though, I’ve always had a good time in Pittsburgh.

Ah, yes, Portland, where everybody looks the same, thinks the same. I don’t think I could handle it.

This evening, as I was coming out of the Capitol Complex at the Washington/Greenbrier gate, I had a green light. When I was about halfway across the street, a truck bearing the logo of a certain well-established local business came flying up Washington and into a left-turn–right into my path. He came THAT close to hitting me.

Scared? You betcha. But even more, I was ANGRY. No, I was FURIOUS. That driver should thank his lucky stars that he was encased in a steel cage and was powered by multiple horsepower, because if I could have gotten my hands on him I wou…ld have pounded the living *#$% out of him!

The business whose truck he was driving is one I ride past most days on the way home. I used my adrenaline to pedal like Lance leading the peloton, and got there before they closed. I went inside and asked to speak to the manager. Although I was still upset, I didn’t rant, I didn’t rave, I didn’t scream, I didn’t swear. I just very calmly and quietly told him what had happened, and where, and when, and asked him to have a word with the driver.

I’m sorry if this means he’ll loose his job just before Christmas, but he should have thought of that before he drove his employer’s truck like a maniac.

Okay, I might have got the max/min correlations reversed but the idea still holds?

Strange, I had to look-up ‘supraconducting’ and found a lot of links to SUPERCONDUCTING instead!
SUPRAconducting would mean the current ‘transcends’ the conductor – avoids it?
SUPERconducting means ‘a very good conductor’- as if it had NO resistance to current flow.
I suppose both do the job, but I would worry about what the current was up when it was not flowing along the conductor, but transcending it!

I didn’t see where Rick mentions “the Grill Roller” until I read the title.
I think it means the rollers in some grills that slowly move the food under the heat source.
Something like they use for cooking Pizzas and some donuts.
