Message 22332878 Woman: Would you get married again if I died? Man: Definitely not! Woman: Why not -- don't you like being married? Man: Of course I do. Woman: Then why wouldn't you remarry? Man: Okay, I'd get married again. Woman: You would? (With a hurtful look on her face) Man: (audible groan) Woman: Would you sleep with her in our bed? Man: Where else would we sleep? Woman: Would you put away my pictures, and replace them with pictures of her? Man: That would seem like the proper thing to do. Woman: And would you let her use my golf clubs? Man: She can't use them -- she's left-handed. Woman: (silence) Man: Sh*t.

from the open forum at Oil Drum... [new] Twilight on Mon Apr 10 at 4:40 PM EST How long until the hurricane season relly gets going? Perhaps more to the point, how far in advance of the hurricanes in 2005 did the water in the GOM get so warm? Seemed all you had to do was fart in the GOM last year and it turned into a CAT4 it 2 days, so the water temp will be what I watch. Does anyone know a site that tracks it? [ Reply to This ] [new] Leanan on Mon Apr 10 at 4:52 PM EST There's the National Data Buoy Center: ndbc.noaa.gov Measures all kinds of things, including temperature. Pup55 at PO.com recommends this buoy. [ Parent \| Reply to This ] [new] toonsmith on Mon Apr 10 at 8:22 PM EST I just did a little digging into the buoy mentioned and according to the data that buoy recorded a temperature of 73.4 degrees on April 10, 2004. 2005 data was not available, it seems that the buoy was not transmitting data correctly for a two month span in 05. Today the same buoy has a reading of 76.3 degrees. The average between 2004 and 2006 for the month of April has 2006 running a consistent 3 degrees warmer. So we may be in for a long, stormy summer in the gulf. [ Parent \| Reply to This ] [new] Fletcher on Mon Apr 10 at 8:43 PM EST And the buoy to watch for new England is 44008- the South Nantucket buoy which is close to 70 degrees West longitude and 40 degree North Latitude. If the sea temperature reaches above 70 degrees fahrenheit the hurricane possibilities for the Northeast become substantially greataer. ndbc.noaa.gov [ Parent \| Reply to This ] theoildrum.com

Now to bore you ... Here is a photo of the mountain I climbed last Thursday: www5.worldisround.com I didn't take this photo - just found it on the net. We climbed in the snow, but it was little higher on the mountain. The photo shows the east ridge of San Ysidro Mountain in Borrego Springs. The apparent high point on the photo is at about 5150' (the climb starts at an elevation of about 750'). Looking at the photo, we climbed from the lower right to the top of the apparent peak (in center) and then out the ridge on the left of the photo to the peak - about 3 1/2 miles to the west - the peak is at 6147'. The high ridge was a pain: slippery, lots of brush and a difficult route. We exited to the south (a simple five mile descent). A great day!!
