    Wow and wow!

    Damn those Jets! I thought they were better than they showed.

    Isn’t it funny that when you go to ESPN Standings, the Seahawks are #1 and the Rams are #2. Even though the Rams beat them head to head.

    3-1; can’t remember the last time…

    I think Jack was having woman problems when he wrote “Love Interruption”. It was his first single on his first solo album in 2012. By 2013, he was divorced from his second wife.

    When I read the Hope quote, “Blunderbuss” was playing in the background, and “Love Interruption” struck me as an anti-resonant thought tunnel.

    So I don’t know what the fuck it MEANS…

    “Love Interruption”

    I want love to: roll me over slowly,
    Stick a knife inside me, and twist it all around.
    I want love to: grab my fingers gently,
    Slam them in a doorway, Put my face into the ground.
    I want love to: murder my own mother,
    Take her off to somewhere, like hell, or up above.
    And I want love to: change my friends to enemies,
    Change my friends to enemies, and show me how it’s all my fault.

    And I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
    I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
    Yeah I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me, anymore.

    I want love to: walk right up and bite me,
    Grab a hold of me and fight me, leave me dying on the ground.
    I want love to: split my mouth wide open,
    And cover up my ears and never let me hear a sound
    I want love to: forget that you offended me,
    Or how you have defended me when everybody tore me down
    Yeah and I want love to: change my friends to enemies,
    Change my friends to enemies, and show me how it’s all my fault.

    Yeah I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
    I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
    Yeah I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me, anymore.

    Well, wasn’t the whole point of your post that if Billy T was protesting the oil pipeline in ND, he should switch to a mode of transportation that didn’t use oil?

    As in, if he is against oil, he shouldn’t be able to use oil in any form forever?

    Or, as I stated in my first post, are you just trying to rile him up?

    Just because the economic monster needs to be fed more and more petrochemicals, doesn’t mean we have to sit back and be OK with the environmental havoc it wreaks.

    My main concern with Hybrids and pure Electrics is what happens when it is time to scrap them? The Europeans are so concerned about lead in their electronics (RoHS), what happens when they have to start retiring these types of vehicles?

    B, I think you are knowingly being unfair. Taking your argument one point beyond, if you are for big oil, you’re against clean water. Why don’t you try and live without clean water for a day or two and let us know how it goes…

    Wow, props to Winnbrad, he almost nailed it 100% in his prediction:

    Rams 9, Hawks 7. The total penalties in this game will exceed the total points.

    Enjoy!

    Of course, he totally undersold the D by thinking they’d give up a TD, but spot on with more penalties than points.

    I’m not worthy…

    Oil Leak From Keystone Pipeline 89 Times Worse Than Originally Thought

    CREDIT: AP PHOTO/NATI HARNIK
    Nearly a week after pipeline operator TransCanada shut down a section of its Keystone line over an oil leak, the company reported Thursday thousands of gallons of oil were spilled, not less than 200 as it first said.
    Based on soil excavations, TransCanada said about 16,800 gallons of oil leaked onto a field in South Dakota, the Associated Press reported. After the leak was discovered Saturday and the line was shut, TransCanada said about 187 gallons of crude oil had spilled, an accident that environmental groups said shows the dangers of shipping oil by pipeline. Though the spill is larger than first thought, it poses no significant environmental effects or threats to public safety, the AP said. However, Keystone transports Canadian tar sands oil, which is more difficult to clean than conventional oil.
    The company behind the rejected Keystone XL line has yet to reveal what caused the leak, but it said the spill is being controlled, and reported the new estimates to the National Response Center and the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Administration. The pipeline is part of the existing Keystone network that the proposed Keystone XL pipeline would have expanded. It runs from Alberta, Canada, to refineries in Illinois and Oklahoma via the Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, and Missouri. TransCanada said the pipeline won’t be fully operational until early next week. So far some 100 workers are at the site, located about four miles from Hutchinson County.
    Misreported leak volumes often occur following oil spills as companies investigate accidents and discover oil seeped deeper in the ground or waterways than they first thought. Revised figures are at times much larger than first reported. In 2014, for instance, an oil spill in North Dakota was first reported to have caused a loss of 750 barrels of oil, a figure that climbed to about 20,600 barrels once the soil was further investigated.

    After the spill was reported earlier this week, environmental groups said Keystone’s spill proves the threat that the Keystone XL expansion would have posed. They also noted that the Keystone pipeline, approved by President George W. Bush in 2008, leaked oil 12 times in its first year of operation. “TransCanada’s Keystone I disaster is a stark reminder that it’s not a question if a pipeline will malfunction, but rather a question of when. This is one of the reasons President Obama rejected the Keystone XL pipeline and it’s why he should reject all dangerous fossil fuel pipeline proposals,” Sierra Club’s Executive Director Michael Brune said in a statement.
    Oil transportation largely relies on trains and pipelines. Out of those two, pipelines spill more often than trains, yet train accidents can be deadlier as trains are more likely to explode. U.S. pipelines spilled three times as much crude oil as trains over the period of 2004 to 2012, according to an International Energy Agency study. And last year, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration reported 314 “significant” incidents causing damages of more than $305 million, and 10 fatalities.
    Despite opposition from environmentalists and mounting leaks, TransCanada is determined to expand its system and refuses to shelve Keystone XL, as it has challenged Obama’s decision under the North American Free Trade Agreement in federal U.S. court.

    I would think 16,800 gallons of crude could poison ground water, no?

    Pipelines leak, it is a fact. The oil bastards would rather pay the clean ups when they have to than to properly maintain them.

    So BNW, would you be OK with it if they wanted to run an oil pipeline under your back yard?

    And if you wanted to protest it, would you be happy if conservationists wanted to stand with you?

    Zooey, I’d be real careful burning pine or cedar in your fireplace or stove for anything other than kindling. The creosote will build up in your chimney and in extreme cases can catch fire and burn your roof off.

    American Elm? Didn’t they all get wiped out by Dutch Elm Disease, or was that just an East Coast thing (and if you’re burning American Chestnut, I don’t want to hear about it…)?

    I see 9-7 / 8-8.

    Tough schedule… I’m hoping to go to the Jets or Pats game, but not sure how either will turn out.

    Still baffles me how good we can be against our own division, yet how piss poor against everybody else.

    Until that changes, no ice cream…

    Time and Space are strange things. Most of us think linearly, since we live linearly (the arrow of time). There are and always have been many non-linear forces exerted onto our collective reality tunnel. I believe things like Yetis and UFOs are bleed throughs from other realities that coexist with ours.

    Alternatively, they are guys in masks…

    Maybe you should re-read the second to last paragraph (assuming you read it in the first place…).

    Today is the second to last day that the general Newtown public can go and tour the new Sandy Hook Elementary School. I had all intentions of going, but once it came time to get in the car with my wife and daughter, I just couldn’t. Call me old fashioned, I don’t like to cry in public. I’ve been changed by events; that terrible day when I was out of state and got the word that there was a shooting and all the schools were locked down, but not knowing where the shooting happened. I was sure it was in the High School where my daughter was. The guilt I felt when I heard it was Sandy Hook, feeling relieved neither of my children were dead. The horror when the death toll came out. Tears streaming down my face as I touched 100 MPH on I-84.

    I am fucked up because of that day, and probably always will be. I am going to support Sandy Hook Promise and Americans for Responsible Solutions to the best of my abilities.

    That is interesting. Obviously we all know of the water cycle, but putting numbers to how much is in the air at any given time is cool.

    What is scary is how climate change is revving up the “river in the sky”. Look what just happened to Louisiana; that wasn’t even a named storm.
