Good Morning!

[Chickenboy]

Morning tithe...can't wait for my 'Boys game later today.

Off to go sledding with the Chickenboy juniors and associated hangers on beforehand, if you can believe that nonsense. Today's high will be -2F with a wind chill of -15F. Perfect day at the park. [:D]

[USSAmerica]

Good morning - Tithe. [&o][&o][&o]

66 here now, heading up to 71 with a chance of thunderstorms later. Have no fear, I have plenty of short pants and tshirts available to stay cool. [:D]

Whew! Glad you let me know, lest I be fearful of your lack of T-shirts / shorts. [:D]

Well, it is going into single digits for lows later this week, so I expect, before too long, USS Mike that you will cool down a little.

[USSAmerica]

Yeah, Thursday looks a bit nippy, with a high of 28. [X(]

[Chickenboy]

Got back from sledding with the kids and one of their friends a bit ago. Colder than I thought @ -25 with a brisk wind. Still enjoyable. Several breaks in a warm van with some hot cocoa helped to muster their enthusiasm. Still-we could only take about an hour of that, but I got my Minnesota badge of honor for sledding when it's -25F out. [:D]

Oh, that badge of honor for sledding when it's -25F out? It comes with a nice frontal lobotomy.

[nashvillen]

At least you didn't have to worry about the snow getting slushy on you and slowing the sleds down!

Hi all,

And, as I transition from work mode to celebration mode, I want to wish a Happy, Healthy, and Prosperous New Year to all of my Thread Brothers!

Happy (belated) New Year!!!

P.S.
Both me and my wife caught some nasty cold so we were, practically, incapacitated past 10-14 days...

I hope you both feel better soon, Leo! The influenza has been particularly nasty in the US this year.

Good morning all.

[nashvillen]

Good Morning, so, this is what my desk looks like, after two weeks of vacation, I had begun to forget...

Liability Concerns Prompt Some Cities to Limit Sledding

Back to work, after 4 days backpacking in the San Juan Mountains in Colorado.

I'm getting to old for that...stuff. [>:]

Some good stuff on this page:

For example:

Schematic animation of a continuous beam of light being dispersed by a prism. The white beam represents many wavelengths of visible light, of which 7 are shown, as they travel through a vacuum with equal speeds c. The prism causes the light to slow down, which bends its path by the process of refraction. This effect occurs more strongly in the shorter wavelengths (violet end) than in the longer wavelengths (red end), thereby dispersing the constituents. As exiting the prism, each component returns to the same original speed and is refracted again.
