Envelope from the Citizen's Utility Board which reads "Fighting global warming: it's not rocket science!"

I thought about this for a little. Rocket science....involves science of high velocity projectiles (which is kinetics?).....global warming=kinetics....no.....rocket science....involves combustion and changes of states of energy....global warming=changes of states of energy chemistry....yes. So global warming is like rocket science.....if I was going to fight something without science what would it be.....probably religion.....so is this some sort of religious letter....wait let me open the envelope.

(pause while reading)

The letter has to do with a money donation to stop Coal Burning in Oregon (didn't realize that 33% of energy in this state comes from burning coal....actually this figure seems distorted, but anyhow). Coal burning=rocket science.....no not enough energy from the coal itself. Money donation=religion......sounds familiar......well I guess part of the theorem could be correct.

I received the Haynes manual for my car. Looking at the thickness of the 850 manual compared to the 240 manual one may first think that this car must have less parts that can be fixed (even though the vehicle is more complex electrically).....then you might realize that the 240 was made for a couple decades rather than (badged as such) for only half a decade.

Looking foward to 11/17.......based on the book and the trailer, the movie should be the darkest of the bunch and am guessing this go around not as lighthearted as the David Niven/Peter Sellers version.....
