entertainment

Nina51 · #1 10/12/2006, 07:47 AM

who's in charge today? i am here alone today and tomorrow. i have very little to do. i'm leaving in a few minutes to take the office cat to the groomer. when i come back, i expect to be entertained. if somebody doesn't entertain me, i will be forced to go to the break room and watch daytime t.v. we do not want that to happen!

whoever is in charge may have a few minutes off occasionally throughout the day while i surf the net for mini horse supplies.

so, get bizzy!!!

Okay, my entertainment for the day is watching my blockhead landlord who is two feet out my back window on a backhoe digging up the well. This is fun for me on many levels. On one level it's fun because I'm waiting to hear a curse word and then have him come to the door and ask if I own a sump pump. On another level it's fun because I have no water right now. And on a final and slightly frightening level, he's got his buddy here who is in charge of replacing the actual water pump and supply lines. The mystery of the day is whether they are going to attempt to remove the 300+gallon fuel oil tank that's buried in the side lawn while they are at it. Come on over Nina, bring a lawn chair and some popcorn-the show's about to begin!!

Perhaps a picture would help the boy understand....

Or does your's have a kick start?

VoidRaven · #7 10/12/2006, 08:54 AM

Well, for shopping Nina....why not check out www.minitack.com

How about a break-away halter:

Or maybe an "easy off" Amish made halter? (I know...violates the break-away rule)

Jupiter Changes Spots

WASHINGTON - AP -Just a little more than a year ago, the small spot on Jupiter was a pale white; now it matches the reddish hue of its bigger sibling, the Great Red Spot, and boasts 400 mph winds, according to new data from the Hubble Space Telescope.

Both spots are actually fierce storms in Jupiter's atmosphere. While the red spot — at three times the size of Earth — is much more noticeable, strange things are happening to the smaller spot.

Scientists aren't quite sure what's happening to the smaller storm, nicknamed the Little Red Spot or Red Spot Jr. but officially called "Oval BA." The odd change in the spot coincides with several unexplained happenings on Earth, including a rocket launch and fire in a chemical factory in Holland last week that left the dutch government scrambling for an explanation, said NASA planetary scientist Amy Simon-Miller. Her findings from the Hubble data were published in the astronomical journal Icarus.

As the storm has grown, the CEO of the dutch factory, Habib Sehka, has barricaded himself in a fortified enclosure within the factory compound, issuing email dispatches that officials have yet to decipher, she said.

One seems to relate to the spot's changing color: "The cyano; it's the cyano! Oh no, it's growing!"

The color change took astronomers by surprise. And now they figure more surprises are in store as the solar system's largest planet goes into hiding from Earth's prying eyes until January, moving behind the sun.

"We found that Jupiter tends to do interesting things behind the sun and we can't see it," Simon-Miller said.

Your prescription's late again, eh?
