    ..agh it's the 8.2% IPA I'm drinking right now to help numb the back pain.

    I wonder what happened to K & L as the newest threat is named Maria.

    Katia moved across lower-mid Mexico last week.  Lee is more east in the ocean, currently not expected to be a bother to anyone.

    Dana

    ps: It seems that maybe Lee is no longer.

     

    we up to L ?

    guess means jose off the radar

    K was Katia a small hurricane in the Gulf of Mexico and L was Lee a storm that disintegrated in the mid-Atlantic

    ...at least "L" wasn't Leela, though she he can be a bit of a troublemaker if she so chooses.

    Lee could have been short for Leela!

    Why would you say that?  Jose, Lee and Maria were all on the radar the other day.  And at one point, Katia was there at the same time, too.  However, Jose was just lowered to a tropical storm around 11:00 pm.

    That doesn't negate my comment.  Especially in this country, people shorten every word they can these days.  Leela could easily become Lee.

    Well, with the price of everything going up, up & up, it's no wonder people tend to conserve letters. indecision

    Non-complaint:  I have a big spider web right outside my little kitchen window over the sink.  The bugger built it all around the frame of the window about an inch from the glass so I have a perfect view of it.  Some mornings it's covered with dew, other days it's almost invisible.  It's been rebuilt a couple times this summer.  But this morning I woke up and it's covered with a hundred or more dead gnats or other identical, cream colored, teeny tiny, flying bugs.  A whole squadron must have lost their radar, flown off course and ended up as a cream colored decoration outside my window.  Cool! yes

    ....I am pretty sure the World Meteorological Organisation and NOAA intended the more common  male name as they have also used ethnic names from time to time, like for one fairly recent storm, the remnants of which are currently affecting the northeast  (Juan is the Spanish form of "John"). The practise of using female names for Atlantic hurricanes began in 1953 with the use of male in 1978 (where "Lee" was added). There is a list of names which repeats in a six year cycle and the only time one is replaced is if it was assigned to an extremely destructive and costly storm.

    Also never heard The Doctor call his companion Leela by "Lee", as neither did Fry, Prof. Farnsworth, Amy, Bender, Dr Zoidberg,.or even Ace Branagan when referring to the purple haired one eyed captain of the Planet Express rocket freighter in Futurama (her "common" name actually a shorted form of Turanga Leela which is based on the title of Oliver Messiaen's monumental 1948 orchestral work, the Turangalila-Symphonie).

    the feminine use of "Lee' as a nickname is derived from the names Lea, Leah, and Leigh (bceause of hte pronuciation) as well as shortened forms of Lee Ann and LeeAnne.(as in Lee Ann Meriwether or LeeAnne Locken).

    I don't undestand your reluctance to admit that people in our culture (here in the US), not Doctor Who or Fry, just abreviate everything.  For instance, some would just call you KK or even just K.  That is all I am saying.

    And by the way, it is Jose, not Juan, that is raining on us right now.

    ...just enjoying some light hearted debate. Someone has to keep the candle of properness burning lest it all becomes lost in the translation.

    As to "KK", that is actually the local abbreviation usually used for Kinnickinnic Ave in my old hometown of Milwaukee WI (a main thoroughfare in the southeast area of the city), which in Ojibwe, referred to a mixture of dried leaves and bark and sometimes tobacco that was smoked.  Milwaukee came from a term used by the Ojibwe, Potawatomi, and Menominee tribes, meaning to "The Good Land" while "wawatessi" (anglicised to Wauwatosa, which is a western suburb of the city) meant "Firefly" (yeah, the town of Glow Butt, WI).

    As to Americans' propensity to shorten and abbreviate words/names for convenience, it reached a level of preposterousness with the texting craze, which in a sense has pretty much created an entirely new language  based primarily on acronyms. 

    I fear for the writing skills of future generations.

    Yes, I like opals.  On my trip to Austraila back in '95 I picked up a few.  My precioussss.

    No photograph ever does them justice.  The good ones are like looking into a deep quivering memory.

    I visited a top of the line downtown Sydney jewelry store and looked at some really wonderful ones.  The salesman liked my keen interest in them and gave me quite an education about them.  Then after I'd selected my tiny modest purchase he brought out a tray of huge fabulous ones for me to oogle at.  (*sigh*)  It was an amazing opportunity, education, and memory.

    ...work crews on the street below, odd time as it is almost 20:00.  Was a little worried at first there'd be lots of noise but they apparently are running new cable under ht street (Fibre optic perhaps?) using the existing service manholes so no jackhammering or digging, thankfully.

    Back is still hurting and messing with my concentration.  Went out to do a bit of shopping (used the streetcar and neighbourhood bus routes as still not into walking for very long)  Rode over to NW 23rd then realised the bus I needed to connect to was on 21st so had to wait for the next streetcar as it is actually three long blocks (there's a "22nd Place and 22nd Ave") and it would have been a panful walk. Finally got to the market got what I needed then back to the bus stop, and then on the streetcar to home.  As I was unpacking I then realised, I forgot the butter.  I guess I could go to the Safeway which is closer but the prices there are much higher even with their club card.

    Seems our markets here are have also taken a page from Daz sale playbook.  You can buy one item at a very small savings, however, if you buy four, you get a steep discount on each as well. Waitaminute, how am I supposed to get four packs of 12 double-sized rolls of bog paper home and where am I going to put them?  Not everyone lives in a McMansion, particularly not in this part of the city as it's "in the city".

  • I hate waking up at two am just to use the bathroom.  It takes me forever to go back to sleep. . I might have good news that is not related to the bathroom.  It is about Daddy might have a better computer for me.  Not sure what that means though.

    Non-complaint:  I'm watching my budget strictly this month so no adventures planned.  But I still get the wanderlust, so after I picked up my mail I turned the other direction on the way back to the house (1/4 mile away) and drove up the hill instead of down and decided to go for a wander.  Instead of taking the Interstate or the 2-lane State highway through the valley to the next town (5 miles) I took the county roads over the hills and through the woods and spotted a pheasant crossing the road.  I stopped to ask him why he was crossing the road but he just skittered away.  I hadn't seen a wild pheasant in this area in over 60 years when my father used to go hunting them.  So they're not extinct in this area yet.
