Rich's Note: All Things In Moderation
We have a fairly moderate climate here in southeast Virginia. The Gulf
Stream and our location on the coast usually keep the frigid
temperatures and snow at bay.
Some people like snow. I don't hold that against them, though I
sometimes wonder at their sanity. Molly called this morning to say that
it was snowing in Minneapolis. All I can say is that I'm glad I don't
live there. I agree, snow can be pretty, and it would be nice to dial up
a snowfall on Christmas Eve; but I don't like the cold, I don't
participate in or care for winter sports, and I dislike having to deal
with it.
We have a winter here. It gets cold and sometimes nasty. It may even
snow a bit every few years. We have even had blizzards as I recall. But
what seems like a long winter here is usually not more than eight weeks
or so, then we have a slide into spring with a couple of bumps in the
path. I like it that way.
So, Molly, if you're reading this, enjoy your snow. We still have roses
blooming, I saw a couple of gardenia blossoms the other day, and maybe
we'll think about bringing the houseplants in soon. I don't know. It
depends on the weather.

Science TV
YouTube has tons of videos but it can be a pain to weed through the
erroneous videos to find videos that you want to watch. Well if you want
to watch videos on the Sciences – then Science TV is the place to be!
Here users can upload and share videos (that meet the requirements) for
free. This means if you don’t have anything to share you can at least
experience quality videos on scientific subjects.
The current categories are: Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Demos,
Dangerous, Debate, Gadgets, Nature, Random, and Space.
You can click into the categories from the Category tab to select videos
to watch. Or you can start on the home page and watch the videos that
other people are watching right now.
And beneath those videos being watched by others now, you can find a
listing of the Top Films on the site in four categories: Featured, Top
Rated, Most Viewed, and Most Recent.
It’s time to go to this site and watch videos on Science, they are
strangely addicting – you might find yourself lost on this site for
hours like I was!

Simply Tim: PRETTY, PRETTY SARAH
I pulled open the lid of the large trashcan at the top of my hill and
there she was. Sleek. Black. Shiny. Much larger than I had ever
imagined. She was hanging upside-down, two blood-red triangles forming a
definitive hourglass, perfect in every aspect. She clung elegantly to a
disarrayed web; longish legs, like delicate stilettos, arranged just so.
Startled by the light, she scurried with dignity to a safer position on
the trashcan rim. Her brilliance was dazzling.
I lowered the lid and placed my garbage bag in a neighbor’s trash can.
But I couldn’t stand it. I cracked my own lid open again and peeked in.
Sarah. Yes. She looked like a Sarah. Pretty, pretty Sarah glared at me
through all eight of her eyes. Such a deep, deep black. Lovely, lovely
Sarah. I’m so sorry. Goodbye, Sarah.

Do You Remember?
Walking In The Sunshine
Roger Miller 1967
Written by Roger Miller
Walking In The Sunshine, singing a little sunshine song,
Put a smile on your face as if there's nothing wrong.
Think about a good time had a long time ago;
Think about forgetting about your worries and your woes,
Walking In The Sunshine, singing a little sunshine song.
La la la la la dee oh, Whether the weather be rain or snow,
Pretending can make it real,
A snowy pasture, a green and grassy field.
