22892. Ms. No - 11/13/2007 1:50:07 AM What about hydrogen, AC? 22893. arkymalarky - 11/13/2007 1:55:38 AM Hey Con'd, Way to go! It is a weak design, and even though the part's not expensive it's a pain to deal with. 22894. Ms. No - 11/13/2007 1:57:30 AM Arky,
Come on out! I've got a good place to go and there's starting to be room for guests to actually hang out in my apartment as I put out more loads for the Salvation Army.
I did find some excellent books for K -- a couple of French primers and then some books in French although she said she has enough trouble trying to read Ionesco in English so she passed on Rhinocerous. 22895. Ms. No - 11/13/2007 1:58:47 AM Jude,
That wish is a good one! 22896. arkymalarky - 11/13/2007 1:58:57 AM Hey Judith, I don't blame you a speck. Do come down when you can get away. The leaves are a mixed bag (hah) this year. Some gorgeous, most brown. I have one more gardenia bud on my bush, though, honeysuckle are still on the vine out back, and we picked a WATERMELON this weekend, and it was still GREEN. 22897. arkymalarky - 11/13/2007 2:00:51 AM My SIL has a pellet-burning stove--the contraption sits outside, which is good. They've had it a long time, though. 22898. arkymalarky - 11/13/2007 2:01:55 AM Oooh, that would be great. One of these days.... Bob and I have talked about going out there from CO in the summer sometime in the next few years. 22899. arkymalarky - 11/13/2007 2:02:22 AM Oops. That was to No.
It's been Monday all day. 22900. Ms. No - 11/13/2007 2:10:29 AM I'd love to have you! We're only a couple hours from San Francisco, too, and that's a fun daytrip. I keep hoping my brother will bring the boys up so we can go to the railroad museum -- as if I can't go without my nephews. Sheesh! 22901. wonkers2 - 11/13/2007 2:27:08 AM I've been to the Railroad Museum. It's unique and worth a visit. 22902. alistairconnor - 11/13/2007 11:56:57 AM Hey No, I've got a friend who teaches French at an Australian university, she managed to get her students to stage a performance of La Cantatrice Chauve (the Bald opera singer) in French... I'd have liked to see that one... the Australian accent would add a whole new layer of surrealism... 22903. alistairconnor - 11/13/2007 12:05:02 PM Hydrogen? It's not an energy source, only a means of storing energy, and not a very practical one for the moment...
People drone on about a future "hydrogen economy", but I'll believe it when I see it. Maybe people will have domestic hydrogen fuel cells instead of boilers, that will generate both electricity and heat. We'll see, but it's 15 or 20 years away, at a minimum. And I won't be replacing my boiler then because wood pellets are a sustainable, carbon-neutral source of heating. 22904. alistairconnor - 11/13/2007 12:06:45 PM Ah I'd love to do a karaoke night with you folks... My proposition : everyone has to choose a Booker T track and improvise a vocal on it. OK? 22905. JayAckroyd - 11/13/2007 3:51:52 PM Great to see wonkers name in today's NYT letters. 22906. Magoseph - 11/13/2007 4:07:54 PM Thank you, Jay Jay--how's everything for you and family?
Wonkers'letter 22907. JayAckroyd - 11/13/2007 4:12:25 PM I'm okay. Dog is getting old.
22908. JayAckroyd - 11/13/2007 4:13:57 PM The most interesting thing I've been doing is interviews in Second Life.
Just got Ned Lamont scheduled for 1/10. Chris Mooney (The war on science) this week.
22909. TheWizardOfWhimsy - 11/13/2007 5:07:03 PM Kudos and congrats to Jay and Wonk! 22910. JayAckroyd - 11/13/2007 6:05:22 PM hey wiz. How are you doing?
22911. Ms. No - 11/13/2007 6:10:17 PM AC,
I know nuthin' about it except that a friend of mine is out working on some hydrogen converting or powered something or other in his barn.
And please oh please oh please don't make me improv --- I've never gotten very good at it. Too self-conscious for the most part.
