HERE ARE SOME RANDOM THOUGHTS AND IMAGES ABOUT ANYTHING THAT I FOUND INTERESTING. HOPEFULLY, THERE WILL BE A FEW THINGS WORTH READING THAT HAVE BEEN ACCIDENTALLY LEFT AMONG THESE MENTAL SCRIBBLES. THERE MIGHT EVEN BE FOUND A FEW LAUGHS AMONG THESE THOUGHTS THAT HAVE BEEN ACCUMULATED DURING A LIFE THAT WAS ALWAYS FASCINATED WITH THE SECRETS OF EXISTENCE. SO GO AHEAD AND LAUGH YOUR ASS OFF. I CAN'T THINK OF ANYTHING MORE IMPORTANT OR WORTHWHILE TO LEAVE BEHIND. ANYONE WHO REALLY KNOWS ME KNOWS I'VE ALWAYS TRIED TO LIVE UP TO THE WORDS: "FUCK 'EM IF THEY CAN'T TAKE A JOKE."

IMPORTANT WEATHER ALERT!

I’ve got some news that might just explain the sudden explosion of hurricanes in the Atlantic.

Here’s the good news – it has nothing to do with “global warming.” As a matter of fact, it goes a long way towards disproving the whole bogus global warming industry.

Here’s the bad news – it’s gonna get real cold around here. Stock up on fur coats. And fuel. And food.

It can all be traced to sunspots. Or actually, the lack of sunspots. I’m not kidding Elizabeth. Read on. I believe I’m right about this. I’ll start to reexamine the evidence if anyone can provide me with a peer-reviewed scientific paper proving that carbon dioxide is a gas that substantially leads to global warming. I don’t think you can find one. IT’S NOT THERE!

Here’s the real cause of our planet's troubles:



It’s our sun. A less-than-average star off a obscure arm of the Milky Way galaxy, which is a collection of perhaps a billion stars arranged about a galactic center -- which contains at least one actively feeding Black Hole – which has a pair of spiral arms that protrude from the either end of the galactic nucleus. Astronomers on another galaxy would not notice anything unusual about the Milky Way except maybe that it’s now colliding with two smaller galaxies. But apparently that’s not an unusual occurrence in this part of the universe.

Sorry, back to our sun. As many of you already know, because they have received an endless stream of my very annoying e-mails, there have been no sunspots on the sun since July 22. (That’s not a sunspot in the lower left-hand quadrant of the sun in the accompanying picture, that’s actually the Earth-orbiting International Space Station as it passed across the sun. But it looks very similar to what a sunspot looks like.) Actually, the month of August marked the first time in 100 years that a full month went sunspot-free. The last time was June 1913 (sunspot data has been collected since 1749). [Full disclosure: Ever the solar spoilsports, government astronomers have just declared that a small magnetic solar storm last month counts as half a sunspot. But it doesn’t really matter.]

The sunspot count goes down every 11 years like clockwork during the end of a solar cycle. But it usually last a few days. By my count, it’s now been 45 days without a real storm on the surface of the sun. According to experts, the last time the sun was so quiet was 400 years ago, during something called a “Maunder Minimum” which, they say, triggered what we now call the “Little Ice Age” where global temperatures dropped sharply, glaciers grew 100 meters a year and New York Harbor froze solid and people walked from Manhattan to Staten Island. In the past 1000 years, such solar events happened three times, each time leading to a rapid cooling of the earth.

The problem isn’t the amount of heat from the sun – it has to do with the magnetic fields generated by the sun. Fewer sunspots, which are really magnetic storms, means more magnetic energy reaches and our planet. And that means the atmosphere generates more clouds. The clouds block the sun’s energy – and heat – that almost every living thing on the planet depends upon for its survival. Anyway, you get the picture. I’m not going to worry about it too much. (But I’m 60.)

This theory isn’t new. But been around for awhile, but it’s always been dismissed by the global warming industry as pure theory. But now that there’s evidence, the critics are silent.

I believe the evidence will eventually show that the first evidence of the consequences of this solar activity, or lack of it, is the sudden increase in hurricanes and tropical storm activity in the Atlantic.

Incidentally, according to the little ice age theory, it won’t get really cold for another 30 years – and it will begin to warm up again after another 60 years. So it’s only a short problem. But I guess it does give us extra time to work on that carbon dioxide problem.

You shouldn’t believe me. Look at the evidence! That’s all I’ve ever asked. The links below will lead you to a few sites I think will get you pointed in a certain direction. Read them. At least look at them and then make up your own mind. I’d be interested to hear what you think. If you post your thoughts here, maybe we can get a dialogue going.

p.s.: To those of you who are expecting something really important like an update on my weight, well tough shit! You’ll just have to weight … err, wait. Keep watching. And Jody, stock up on some fur coats.
