God's Garden Hose

There are rivers of water vapor high in the atmosphere that "flow" over parts of the Pacific and can cause serious flooding when they start to rain. The can flood an area the size of Maryland 1 foot (0.3 meters) deep! A sensor called HAMSR (built by JPL) will study these river aboard an aircraft called Global Hawk. HAMSR will measure the density and temperature of the rivers by recording the heat given of by oxygen and water molecules in the atmosphere.

Maybe?

As it turns out, NASA is planning to launch STS-133 on February 24. Do you think they will stay with that? I don't think so.[polldaddy poll=4534261]

Death-row Pardon, Two Minutes Too Late...

Yesterday, I was sick. Extremely sick. So sick I could barely use my computer! Months ago, I signed up Google Chrome OS's Polit Program but I haven't even gotten an e-mail about it. So, I was watching You-Tube videos about it (below) and I'm thinking, I'm never going  to get into the polit program, then my Mom calles me and I think I'm in trouble but, lo and behold, I seem my Mom with the box my computer is supposed to come in! "Isn't it Ironic? Don't 'cha think?"(Alanis Morissette's "Ironic". Yes, even I have heard it.)
