Random Thoughts...or...What's on Your Mind?

It's kind of weird how the exact same temperature outside can feel totally different without the sun and with wind, than it does with sun and no wind. We can out on early morning walks with the dogs before sunrise, and I'll be cold, but it will be the same temperature as when I went on my bike rider later in the day and was perfectly comfortable a few days earlier.

No wind chill and more solar heat? Not really weird. Those things are effin effective. And don't get me started on dry vs moist atmosphere. Conductive vs radiant heat loss.

I used to know a lady who used the portmanteau word "humiture" for the combined effect of heat and humidity. I've never heard that word from anyone else before or since.

"humiture"

May this never become a thing

Speaking of which the word Humidore sprung to mind and I'm sure it's something my grandparents would know the meaning to

Humidor? It's a humidifier box for cigars/smokables. I've been thinking about getting one to keep my ganja from drying out

Not to be confused with matador, which is NOT a box for matting things. lol

And for baseballs in the Colorado Rockies' home ballpark.

(You'll figure it out. )

There’s an ad campaign on the T today saying “Don’t run from train to train, it can cause injuries”.

In my decades of taking the T, I’ve never seen anything like that. That means, somebody actually tried running from train to train and got hurt, very recently.

Who the hell is that stupid, and if someone is that stupid, why does the T think they can reason with them?

(T = Boston’s mass transit system)

But what do you mean by running from train to train? Do you mean getting off one that has stopped and onto another connecting one?

I assume so.

My favorite warning is the one that is on packs of clothes hangers, which shows a person with their neck streched out in the shape of one, and then says not to eat them. That does that mean someone was actually tried that?

It's just the fact that it feels so drastically different that gets me.

"Rob Bowman started directing for television while doing second unit work for Stephen Cannell Productions in 1982.[3] After leaving Cannell's company in 1987, he sent out videos of his work, looking for a job.[1] Impressed by one of Bowman's Stringray episodes, producer Robert H. Justman hired him to direct for Star Trek: The Next Generation during its first season. Bowman was only 27 years old at the time, and in his first meeting with executive producer Rick Berman, Berman mistook him for the pizza delivery boy."

Target was clearing out their Christmas candy so I grabbed some sour gummy snacks. But there's nothing really sour about them. They're rather bland.

2022 is over, the credits rolled I hope this new episode is better.

Speaking of which I did something random, created an instagram account looked up some people, five minutes later decided it's not worth the bother and asked my account to be deleted.

I was reading that scientists have found groups of tyrannosaur fossils in 3 separate sites in North America. This has caused some to consider that tyrannosaurs were more social than first believed. One team even proposed a name for such groups: a "terror" of tyrannosaurs. Seems apt.

OMG, it's true...

At least while searching this out, I did find this article which gave me a few laughs:
15 Warning Labels Made Specifically for Stupid People

So, uh, heed these warnings to stay safe, I guess, and happy new year!
