I asked Farmer's Almanac: Which is worse summer or winter storms? I haven't found an answer. Not so long ago I watched as a summer storm. It had such winds that the rain was horizontal. I had a realization that this is what a winter storm looked like - huge gusts of wind making the snow fly in sheets.
I finally took a moment to look at two eye-catching stories on the Weather Network.
1. The billion year old rock found in downtown Toronto. It made me wonder how old the earth is. It is estimated to be 4.54 billion years old. The oldest minerals analyzed to date are small crystals of zircon from the Jack Hills of Western Australia and they are at least 4.404 billion years old.
2. Grasshoppers swarming Las Vegas. One swarm catches the light over the Luxor Hotel. That's the Egyptian-themed hotel shaped like a pyramid so it seems fitting. What I notice is that there are lots of images of various things with headings Las Vegas grasshopper invasion. I consider this a pollution of the internet. This image below matches the headline. It has great yuk appeal.
Out image today is a tulip. Doesn't it look like a hot air balloon? A nice contrast with the situation in Las Vegas.
