And it's been so good being away that I felt a wave of nostalgia looking at the picture. I knew just what the sharp raw air felt like and how good the sun felt. You have to be cold and see gray skies for weeks and weeks to have the feeling you get from winter sun and 55 degrees in Wisconsin. Here, they long for clouds and snow to help the drought. How they'd love to see a sloppy, squelchy road with a giant puddle of standing water.wildswanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11975129877750876072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6329595.post-48272986912524518862017-02-17T22:14:09.164-06:002017-02-17T22:14:09.164-06:00There's a foreigners-work-US/Canada contest. ...There's a foreigners-work-US/Canada contest.

Everything is overwhelmed: roof drains, street gutters, roads, trees and telephone poles down everywhere. I've been soaked most of the day, but life is still a ball if you drive a big pickup. On the way home tonight everybody was driving through these huge puddles across the road, and many of us having a really good time of it. Then I see this guy in a hoodie in Compton on his phone with his head in his conversation as he walks right up to the curb in front of a 6 foot wide 10 inch deep puddle right in my path..........<br /><br />No. I slowed down to a crawl, but damn it was tempting. I could have put him inside a wave the size of the Bonsai pipeline that probably would have knocked him over. If he had a press pass, I would have done it. It was good to see the people who are usually in a near road rage suddenly having so much fun tonight. I suppose some people were a little flummoxed ,but most I saw were clearly aiming for and accelerating into the huge ponds everywhere and throwing up waves on each other. A Friday water park celebration for working adults.

Then I read CNBC's report as to why Trump's claim was mostly false. <br /><br />The money quote from CNBC: "The claim isn't true. Between 2009 and 2013, Russia's atomic energy agency, Rosatom, purchased a majority stake in a Canadian company called Uranium One, The New York Times reported in 2015. The Toronto-based firm's mining assets in Wyoming, Utah and elsewhere in the United States account for about 20 percent of U.S. uranium production capacity, according to the Times.<br /><br />PolitiFact pointed out that 20 percent of uranium capacity is different from 20 percent of existing uranium."<br /><br />Tortured logic at it's finest.
