Bits

The air has stilled at last, yet lingering warmth makes for a pleasant night of stargazing. As yet, I've seen no effect from the sun's recent activity. I had hoped there might be a bit of an aurora even this far south, but there has been none. This would be a good time of month for it, too, the thin moon still setting so early.

I am quite surprised to see LJ working so rapidly. The problem with inaccurate comment numbers and vanishing comments seems to have been corrected as well. Thus far, I remain on the Ribeye cluster, but that will not be a problem if its total load is reduced. It will be like having my neighborhood improve around me. Yes, once the rabble are moved out, it ought to be a decent place once again. Heh.

By the end of the week, it shall have cooled off enough for Sluggo to be less cranky, and I can make some longer posts and catch up on my replies to comments. I know, I know; you can hardly wait!

Best wishes to scottobear for a speedy recovery, and congratulations on his journal being LJ's most googlebotted! I just know it's because of those little chocolate donuts of John Belushi's! Their power is infinite!

Can't Win for Losing

Given that Sluggo is hot, my Internet service has provided me with a slow connection, and LJ is a huge, honking mess, I don't think I'll risk a long post. Tomorrow, the delta breeze will cool Sacramento, so it ought to be here by Thursday. Just in time for the Earth's atmosphere to boil away as a result of the solar mass ejection taking place. Oh, well. At least we might get to see the aurora before we are all consumed by the cosmic disaster. I won't bother with spell checking this post. Who will care when the Earth is a crispy cinder?
