Cold - > Warm .... it's March

Weather is Dry, and planting has begun.
Asparagus is now sprouting.
Tomatoes, Peppers, Long Beans, Cucumbers, Corn, Squash, Okra.

The Wisteria is about to Bloom...the aromas are incredible.
It reminds me so much of my childhood and memories of warm
springs, Easter suits and growing Centipede.

Global Warming....Hah. I remember warmer winters when I was a kid. Heck, its always been warming some, the Savannah River froze over during the nineteenth century. Blocks of ice could be cut from the river and stored in your icebox with a little hay during the winter months. And that was in Georgia. I also remember ponds freezing over during the winters in Middle Georgia, along with some blizzards and 3 foot snows that stayed for weeks (1973).

The climatologists haven't seen a good volcanic eruption yet to change the weather drastically to a cooler climate.

It is not historically accurate to claim that CO2 produced by humans causes global warming. More CO2 and S04 can be spewed from a large volcanic eruption than humans can produce in a lifetime. We are no competition to the Earth. And if it's getting warmer, what's wrong with that? The earth has seen more ice ages and warming trends than anyone alive has experienced.

What would anyone talk about if it wasn't for the weather? It's a great ice-breaker for a multicultural conversation. Everyone knows about weather (rain, ice, cold, wind)

Garden preparation is around the corner...March/April.

If Google is named after Googol, does that mean there are 10^100 people who use the search engine? or there are googol searches on Google? I'm always asked about googolplexes and googolduplexes. Can those numbers even be fathomed. Now that's a word, "fathom". What is that? Large numbers are so existential. I mean how does one understand a number that is larger than the atoms in the universe? My children like to respond with "infinity" as a larger number. The interesting aspect of infinity I've investigated is that one can not divide infinity by infinity or multiply them either, because the result is not 1, and double-infinity directly. Huh? Like:

infinity * infinity = infinity

infinity
-------- NOT EQUAL TO 1
infinity

infinity + infinity NOT EQUAL TO double-infinity...and so forth.

An infinite number added,subtracted,multiplied or divided is not conceiveable.

My favorite number is "e", or 2.718... Natural number of nature, derived everywhere in our universe and found extensively in our menial decisions...driving, walking...everything.

Can we live without numbers? Some people would hope so, but I don't believe it for one minute. Descartes lived by the philosophy of numbers that showed God's infinite structure.

Euler's equation is the most perplexing and beautiful equation ever discovered.

Got the VNC program working with the PocketPC, but not the cellphone. Still working on the RS232 networking program for parallel processing project. Parallel register processing on multiprocessor system with multiple kernals processing data simultaneously...communication via client/server program. I'm still trying to figure the flow/layout for the server program to transmit kernals to the clients.

Corn is small, but edible. New plantings of cucumbers will take a few more weeks.

It's a warm day in June, but I like the smell of the sprinkler on my lawn...and with a breeze it feels good too! It's been hot, but my garden has produced some nice cucumbers and tomatoes. Now if only the corn and squash will grow.

I saw our neighborhood hawk this morning. A yellow warbler the other day. The hairy woodpecker keeps coming back to the yard. :)
Those creepers like my bird bath too.
