madgravityWednesday 13- I did my stretches.
Today’s Weather was: Temps of around 42 and 63 degrees, NW winds 11 to 25 MPH, humidity around 43 percent, Stratocumulus clouds clearing around noon and then lots of wind.
According to the National Weather Service: “Thursday: Sunny, with a high near 59. Breezy, with a north northwest wind between 16 and 23 mph, with gusts as high as 32 mph. Thursday Night: Mostly clear, with a low around 36. Northwest wind between 8 and 15 mph, with gusts as high as 21 mph.”
I did some work in the yard for a while, and picked up around the table where I had cut the tiles for the floors of my house; there were lots of small pieces. I saw that Ginger was home and I moseyed on over to say howdy and took a slice of baloney for her little killer dog and an apple for her horse Princess. We sat outside for a spell yapping and watching her dogs play. It was a beautiful day, and then the wind started blowing pretty hard and I decided to go on home.
I practiced my guitar.
Ginger lent me the movie “Iron Man” (2009) Directed by Jon Favreau and starring Robert Downey Jr., Gwyneth Paltrow, Terrence Howard, and Jeff Bridges. Pretty dang good movie and Robert Downey Jr. fit the role very well.
I read aloud from the textbooks: “Astronomy Today” about telescope optics. “The Cell: a Molecular Approach” was about the folding of Polypeptide Chains; I won’t pretend to fully understand this. It is interesting how everything on the molecular scale is the interaction between this or that atom that forms this or that molecule that forms a bunch of other stuff: carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, or nucleic acids, which in turn create their own stuff; this stuff is what I’m learning now. It’s totally over my head but very fascinating to me to think of all these working on the molecular scale together to eventually form living tissue on the macro; I’ve never thought of it in this way!
I watched “The Human Spark: So Human, So Chimp”. This episode they discuss the difference between us and other primates. The one thing that got my attention was that chimps don’t get the concept of pointing, where a dog will!
I read a little from the book “The Letters of Richard Feynman”
I did my stretches; practiced my guitar; wrote to my journal, posted it to the web, and called it a night.
