Holy cow, X. And I think it was in Nat Geog that I saw a new 3D map of the Ozone hole..... Now The Gaping Ozone Hole..... The first word I thought of was "Ominous." "Do you SEE the SIGN?" I am tired of the debate. It is possible this thing may self regulate. But our fucking car is rolling out of the driveway with nobody in it. (PS ~ Yes, E.) I can't wait for all the fuckers who don't give a flying shit to start saying well we need to build some underground cities. Revenge is sweet, and maybe the ole planetary ecology is ready for the clean up crew to enter the autoclave phase. A.P. B.C., A.D., A.P. Personally, if it weren't for the literally innocent critters whose millions of years of homelife we're taking with us, I wouldn't care either. Hit restart. Maybe they'll get a smarter specie next time.

The most interesting, and frustrating, fact in the article is the disclosure that researchers can't have all the submarine data because of the desire to keep the Russians from knowing the sonar signatures of submarines. Is the raw data about the ice cap somehow mixed in with sonar data? I guess so, pings and echoes are probably unique. It strikes me as incredible that the earth's population could have doubled during our lifetimes, and that the use of automobiles, air conditioners and power plants have also greatly multiplied during our lifetimes, without some effect on climate.

From my dear Virginia friend, Lynn, who is the best cook I know -- so obviously this is a must for the DAR Christmas Party--- we each must make one so we have enough..A better idea!- let's get together and make them. The Best Fruit Cake Ever -- I can hardly WAIT to try this!!!! Ingredients: 1 cup butter 1 cup sugar 4 large eggs 1 cup dried fruit 1 teaspoon baking powder 1 teaspoon baking soda 1 tablespoon lemon juice 1 cup brown sugar 1 cup nuts 1 or two quarts of aged whiskey Before you start, sample the whiskey to check for quality. Good, isn't it? Now go ahead. Select a large mixing bowl, measuring cup, etc. Check the whiskey again, as it really must be just right. To be sure the whiskey is of the highest quality, pour 1 level cup into a glass and drink it as fast as you can. With an eclectic mixer, beat 1 cup of butter in a large fluffy bowl. Add 1 teaspoon of sugar and beat the hell out of it again. Meanwhile, at this parsnicular point in time, wake sure that the whixey hasn't gone bad while you weren't lookin.' Open second quart if nestessary. Add 2 large leggs, 2 cups fried druit an beat til high. If druit getsshtuck in peaters, just pry the monsters loosh with a drewscriver. Example the whikstey again, shecking confistancy, then shift 2 cups of salt or destergent or whatever, like anyone gives a shit. Chample the whitchey shum more. Shift in shum lemon zhoosh. Fold in chopped sputter and shrained nuts. Add 100 babblespoons of brown booger or whushever's closhest and mix well. Greash ubben and turn the cakey pan to 350 decrees. Now pour the whole pissin' mesh into the washin' machine and set on sinsh shycle. Check dat whixney wunsh more and take nappy on floor. Happy Thanksgiving!!!
