Sunspots?... Aliens?... A Pigeon? What Caused It?

CLEVELAND: A widespread power outage plunged the city into darkness this morning.  Some of the power was restored for a short time on Cleveland's east side, but the lights then turned off again. Cleveland Public Power has not provided any information about the extent of the outages.

Major power outages are still affecting downtown Cleveland Wednesday morning, as buildings, streetlights and homes are all without power.

Reports of the outages stretch as far west as Franklin and West 65th, and as far east as Carnegie and East 70th. The outages have left streets completely dark, creating a traffic hazard for the morning commute.

Cleveland Public Power has not responded to phone calls and messages seeking more information, so the full extent of the outages is unknown.

A Cleveland fire station on Superior Avenue has no power and no generator, and firefighters had to park the truck outside, and prop open the garage door in case of a call.

There is no word on when power will likely be restored.

On The Road Again

I was driving one day, and came across this sign...

Thank God for GPS systems.


This seems like a rather dangerous stretch.  May be best to avoid it altogether.


Hmmm

Nostalgia Time Again! Anyone Remember These?... I Want Them ALL Back!

Why was cereal so damn fun in the 60's and 70's?  And were the advertisers all on some kind of mind altering substance?  I'd like to go back in time, if only to taste these again, and of course for the "Free Prizes" inside the box.

It's called the "PrintBrush", and it looks very cool!


Here's one of the coolest new printers I've seen in quite a while...  I can think of a lot of uses for something this small that actually prints at least as good as the sorry excuses for printers we've got at work.  I think I need one of these ASAP!

Harvest Moon, Jupiter, and Equinox on September 23! That's Today!

Cool!

On September 20, Jupiter was closer to Earth than it has been since 1963, and closer than it will be until 2022.  It is now 368 million miles away. On September 21, Earth passed between Jupiter and the sun.

Tonight, the Harvest Moon and Jupiter which is nearing perihelion (its closest point to the sun) will shine all night long!  Tonight is also the first full night of the autumn season for those in the Northern Hemisphere. The September equinox is the start of autumn, and we call the closest full moon to the autumnal equinox the "Full Harvest Moon." This year, the Harvest Moon arrives 6 hours after the September equinox.

The September equinox falls on Thursday, September 23, at 3:09 Universal Time. Converting the equinox time to North American clocks places the equinox on Wednesday, September 22, at 11:09 p.m. Eastern Time, 10:09 p.m. Central Time, 9:09 p.m. Mountain Time and 8:09 p.m. Pacific Time.

For the moon and Jupiter to shine all night long on any equinox, three events, the opposition of Jupiter, the equinox, and the full moon, all have to happen at almost the same time. This year, the three events occur in less than two days.

September 2010 is the only time in your lifetime that you’ll be able to see the moon and Jupiter shine  all night during the equinox. So be sure to observe this once in a lifetime event tonight, the first full night of autumn.

If you have binoculars, look at Jupiter through them and you will likely see from 2 to 4 of its major moons which should look something like this...

HAVE FUN!

It's Coming... Are You Ready?

Halloween!!!! and it's just around the corner, I thought I'd give you some great costume ideas....

One year, my girlfriend and I went to a Halloween party as a "Quarter Pounder with Cheese".
I dressed normally, but carried a hammer and a quarter.  I would occasionally hit the quarter with the hammer.  Cindy dressed in all yellow/orange and wore a sign that read "I'm with Him" and she would point at me.
We got a lot of laughs!

Here are a few more "outside of the box" suggestions, WOOT!

• Carry a crucifix that you have placed doll clothes on and you can go as a "Cross Dresser".
• Carry a dumbbell, and stare intently at it.  When asked what you are you say, "watching my weight".

• Wear extra-large bra over your clothes. Stuff it with spices. What are you? A "Spice Rack" of course.
  
• Carry around a box of cereal with a knife, stab the box repeatedly throughout the night.  You are a "Cereal Killer".
• Wear normal clothes. Attach a dollar to each ear. When they ask, you're "A Buccaneer". Get it?...Buck-an-ear.
  
• Attach old Cell Phones to a hat, wear it and tell people you're "Headphones"

Here are some suggestions that are a little more elaborate...
