The end of the world must be near...

Because CA is freezing over!






Actually had to wear jeans and shoes instead of sandals and shorts today.

Exclamation It must be that Mayan thing.

Russian Unorthodox: Preparing for the End of the World
By Galina Stolyarova

Published: December 5, 2012 (Issue # 1738)



Thousands of Russians are preparing for a very special day during the last half of December. And they are looking for special deals and attractive offers to mark the occasion.

If you guessed New Year’s Eve, you’d be wrong. They are preparing for doomsday, December 21. That is the day on which the Mayan people of Central America calculated the world would come to an end.

Residents in the Siberian city of Tomsk, for instance, have been buying “emergency kits” designed specifically to enable Russian people to face the ultimate calamity. These packs are being distributed by the Marina Mendelson private wedding agency at the bargain price of 890 rubles ($28). They contain food items such as buckwheat and sprats, and, this being Russia, there is vodka — to soften the trauma of extinction, or maybe just lubricate that last party.

Your telling me, I was one site this morning! COLD! Didn't help that I was told I'd be meeting the plant owner so I was in slacks and my dress jacket. Meeting got canceled and I ended up do some wiring in a control panel. It didn't get warm til around 11. Sure wish I would have been in my Carhartts.

A friend of mine just told me that he heard on the news earlier that 1/6th of the people in the US think the world will end on Friday.

Um, wow. No wonder our country is in such sad shape. If they'll believe that, well, they will believe anything.

Is vodka the solution to everything in Russia?

It's a national disease. Has been for decades and decades.

For complete confirmation of that, one need look no further than DC.

Kids these days...

Try Holy Loch Scotland...

Mid-January...

In an open-ended floating drydock in the middle of the loch...

30 mph wind and horizontal sleet....

No wonder they have such kick-ass beer and cider over there - they don't drink it to get intoxicated - they use it as effin ANTIFREEZE!!!

I know I kept myself pretty well "freeze protected" while I was over there.
