  1. I had wished one had asked me the airspeed of an unladen swallow. The oral exams you take feel like that.
  2. In San Jose, near Lick Observatory (where some of the first extrasolar planets were discovered), the street lights are low powered and very orange to cut down on light pollution on Mt. Hamilton , where the Observatory is. Mars ain't the kind of place to raise a kid. in fact it's cold as hell.
  3. My brother works for the county in a non-civil service, but union job. It was "highly "recommended by the union that they attend a Gorski fundraiser if they wanted any chance of advancement in the future. My brother went for the beer.
  4. 1,943rd Martian Day. A Martian day is 24 hours, 34 minutes.
  5. I was in San Rafael, Corte Madera, and Larkspur (where Dirty Harry shot jumped on the bus and shot Scorpio (the trestle and quarry are gone)) yesterday. I was at least the mid 90s there. When we got to Richmond, ~6 miles away and across the bridge, it was 69 degrees. Today I checked and it was 68 in Richmond ion the Bay northwest of Oakland . At my house, 25 miles away, it was 98! I driven through the Caldecott Tunnel in Oakland. It's located right where the big fire in 91 was. On the Oakland side I have seen peas soup fog and temps in the 60s. On the east side, 0.6 miles away, it is perfectly clear and in the 90s.
  6. Skanky? She was the Ivory Snow Girl!
  7. Practice, Practice, Practice. I did mine about 25 times and I was on autopilot for it. My advisor said he had seen only one person not pass his defense. Once they tell you to write, they have seen the data and know it's enough for you to defend. He said when they send you out for ten minutes or so to "discuss" your work, they immediately sign the paperwork and then BS the rest of the time. The oral exams before I started doing the research were a lot tougher.
  8. It's going to keep going up as the baby boomer generation gets older. More pepole, more celebrities, more dead celebrities.
  9. Already 100 at 12:30 PM today.
  10. And in Modesto,CA the school board ok'd letting students go to get an abortion, doctor, and dentist visits during the school day without telling the parents.
  11. Great sh--. Had it when i went in for asurgery. Telling the nurse"Cut me open, I don't care" and thinking I'd F ' her right there if I could even raise my head up off the gurney.
  12. Notice the sideburns on #3! From what I've heard in teh SF bay area, Jim Lange was also interested in the bachelors. He's still around. He was a DJ on a jazz station in the SF area until a few years ago.
  13. 82 East of the SF Bay, Supposed to be about 88. Tomorrow and Sunday 102 and 103. Going to be in Marin County Sunday. About 93 there then.
  14. San Francisco- Tis spring and the smell of urine is in the air!
  15. Clear your cache. Or close your browser and open it again
  16. If you see a stealth fighter from the front at a distance , it does look like a UFO.
  17. Being from Buffalo, when I read the thread title, I thought "What does the Air Force have to do with Roswell Park?"
  18. With Hedd's sex obsession, I'm surprised he isn't glued to the day long BJ on ABC .
  19. As the instrumental part of Layla plays in the background.
  20. Most are citing Americanized dishes. In the 80s I went to SF for a conference. One of the people from ourlab was from China. We went to Chinatown for dinner. He told us the Chinese writing in the window were specials not on the menu for people who were native speakers. He ordered for us and specifically told them to not Americanize it. We had stuff I had never seen. All of it was delicious. His Chinese friends threw him a birthday party and us labmates were invited. There was a table heaping with food, none of which I had heard of or seen before. Again, all delicious.
  21. Caught parts flipping around the dial last season. He was already pissed off last year. She treated him like one of the kids. Whenever he would be answering questions, she would interrupt and tell him why he was wrong. He gave up already last year and was quiet with a look of resignation.
  22. Israel built tunnels to smuggle guns and other arms into the Gaza from Egypt? Israeal constantly sends missles into itself from the Gaza?
  23. I never took a stats class in college (It was a joke at UB) and I have a better grasp of it than someone who went to Cornell. And to DC Tom- FU!
