* Sigh * Snow at Sea Level

Wetlands are a great use of water that hasn't been purified to drinking quality. Apart from the aesthetic value, it reduces the amount of process water that has to be discharged to the municipal system. Less water for the municipal system to deal with and lower cost for the companies because sanitary permits aren't cheap.

Distributing the non-potable water for uses like fire fighting, irrigation and industrial processes that don't require a high degree of purity could seriously reduce the strain on water supplies. The capital costs would be high but it would be a great investment in the long run.

SGTiger and BIAK: I'm sorry you'll be moving. Only met you guys the one time, but you seemed great. Glad to hear you'll be up for trips up for TE stuff... maybe I'll get to see you again. Sounds like a good move for the family all around. Congrats.

As for the weather, I heard the forecast for tomorrow including "Ice Pellets"... has anyone every been in "Ice Pellets" before? I planned to practice my oly tri ride tomorrow since our original tulip ride was cancelled. Scary sounding stuff... and it will be mixed with thunder storms. Hmmm... day to swim, maybe!?

Is that C++?

And then there's this video which provides aspect ratios for cats:

Not all the snow has melted, and it's 35 degrees. Chris just left to do a RAMROD training ride, which is good, since he goes back to Florida for a couple of weeks on Monday. Hard to train for a climbing ride in Florida.

ah, CC, shorts and short sleeved shirts in May?
no.
Never.
this weather is unusual, but you'll freeze your butt in NORMAL May weather with those. You want jeans, light sweaters (ibex) and some teeshirts in the hopes that you might get some warmer days.

and last night, all we got was some rain-looking stuff last night. I REALLY feel left out. (but i don't want to drive out there to see it)

It's not really C++, just some generic nonsense formatted to look like an object oriented language like C++.

When I was studying java, one of my friends and i used to send each other text messages written like that. For example:

while glass.beer!=empty
sean.state=happy
else
bartender(beer)
end

Salsa, that is a great cat video!!!!!

Makes my snuggle-in-bed-waiting-for-snow-to-melt morning ever so fabulous!!

[sgtiger]

Salsa, I laughed so hard, I cried. The little ones have come out of their rooms to watch their wacked out mother.

DS looks at DD "Why is she laughing? Maybe there's somthing funny on her computer?"
DD <shrug>

But seriously, I think I need to go apprehend the jerk who took a cheese grater to my throat while I slept. Wah! Cold, juicy honeydew for breakfast felt good though.

hm. youtube isn't working for me. I guess i'll walk away from the computer now

[salsabike]

SG, no BIAK AND a new cold--that's just rude. Hope you had tea.

It's doing it again, folks. Ice pellets. Snow. Sleet. All at once. Hope my spouse is doing okay. His ride may be mostly out of the Convergence Zone so maybe he's not getting this stuff. I am warm and sweaty inside after spending some quality time with the Uphill Grind.

Went to the bank, it was snowing.
Left the bank, it was sunny.

The snow at my apartment is melting like crazy.
