Morning temp sets new record

Times Herald • October 1, 2009

It was colder this morning in Port Huron than it has been in more than seven decades.
The Port Huron waste water treatment plant recorded a temperature of 32 degrees at 8 a.m., one degree colder than the record low set Oct. 1, 1935, according to information from the NationalWeather Service in Oakland County’s White Lake Township.
Amos Dodson, a weather service meteorologist, said no records were broken elsewhere, including at Detroit Metro Airport in Romulus and in Flint.
It currently is 39 degrees at the St. Clair County International Airport.
Today’s temperature is expected to reach 59 degrees. The average high for Oct. 1 is 67 degrees in Port Huron.

Crap I Like

This week the Nelsons have been totally absorbed with the new Ken Burns documentary, "The National Parks." It rules and I want badly to rent a 15 passenger van and head on out.
One closing story by one of the main narrators choked me up a bit and I'm not ready to write about what he said but it was beautiful and it was crap that I like.

Epic Squirrel Fight!!!

I discovered Alexa today. It's a site that refeshes every 5 minutes with the moment's top ten sites on the web. That's how I discovered this little gem....just precious. Don't you just wanna hug 'em?!

Even Older Human skeleton found...yes, even older than Lucy!!!

I always wonder how they can determine the fur make-up of a being from a skeleton. How do they know she wasn't a blonde? What if she was stacked with Double-D's?

Before Lucy came Ardi, new earliest hominid found
-----------------------------------------

By RANDOLPH E. SCHMID (AP) – 1 hour ago

WASHINGTON — The story of humankind is reaching back another million years as scientists learn more about "Ardi," a hominid who lived 4.4 million years ago in what is now Ethiopia. The 110-pound, 4-foot female roamed forests a million years before the famous Lucy, long studied as the earliest skeleton of a human ancestor.

This older skeleton reverses the common wisdom of human evolution, said anthropologist C. Owen Lovejoy of Kent State University.

Rather than humans evolving from an ancient chimp-like creature, the new find provides evidence that chimps and humans evolved from some long-ago common ancestor — but each evolved and changed separately along the way.

Happy Birthday Suria!!!

Have a great day you crazy animal!!!
