Pretend the red stuff was published Sunday morning about 2 a.m. Blogger's pretending it wasn't published at all as the Blogger Archive Bug persists. Presumably they'll fix it as soon as they're done writing the press releases about the Google purchase not changing Blogger. Indeed not.Why some people shouldn't be allowed to have digital cameras...
Just got one the other day and have posted what are hopefully unusual or interesting pictures of the sky as seen in a ride from San Francisco down to San Jose. They're here at gbarto.com/sfsky. My favorite sits atop this blog and has been named "Moon before mountains."
Den Beste here and here on why biomass will not replace coal or oil in the foreseeable future. Answer: It's a pain to collect, a pain to prepare and has relatively lower energy yield. And it's spread all over the place instead of being concentrated in deposits like oil, natural gas and coal. Question for the day: How much pollution would be created by the transport vehicles shuttling in biomass from all over as opposed to hydrocarbons sent by pipeline or rail along established shipping channels?
If the Ouest-France post below mystifies, they both rhyme with "hitting".
French news headline:
Le Monde: Condoleeza Rice Works For Peace in Palestine. The post below lets you know where that stands.
Ouest-France: Festivals Threatened. Strikers plan to block highways leading to popular tourist destinations, thus minimizing the danger that the faltering system for which they're fighting will be able to generate the resources to survive. There's an expression about one's own soup but I can never decide in these cases if it should start sp- or sh- so I'll let the reader fill it in.
Truce Declaration Delayed
Palestinian militias will not jointly announce a three-month suspension of attacks Sunday as expected due to disagreements over the language of the final declaration
Now, no doubt, the war will be on to see who can come up with the first plausible excuse for why Israel should still go whole hog and why it's Israel's fault Hamas can't bring itself to renounce Jew-slaughter as its favorite sport.
