I tried finding it online myself before I posted but failed. So here are the lyrics as I remember them:

"Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars,
Jupiter, Saturn and Uranus,
Neptune and Pluto,
The wandering stars..."

It was the tune that really made it memorable,very bouncy and catchy. Should we ever meet, remind me and I'll sing it for you.

We are having such a strange Fall/Winter season. October was cold. November and December much warmer than usual. January was cold!!! [Eek!]

So far in February, we've been over 80 degrees all but one day.

We just hope it doesn't freeze now, since the fruit trees are blooming and leafed out. Love the mangoes, but the blooms put sharp, pokey boulders in my eyes. Don't need to have them freeze then bloom again.

Here endeth the whine.

There's a huge swath of pink (ice) on the weather map, from South Carolina all the way to Louisiana. Those poor souls. By tonight the system will have moved up the coast to the mid-Atlantic & Northward. The grocery stores are delighted with 12 inch snowfall predictions.

We've had rather deep snow cover for almost two months. I'm sick of it. Plus the single digit lows almost every night. The oil company is also delighted.

I know, you're all tired of the whinging about the weather. I'm glad Easter is well into April this year !

South Carolina's snow featured on the Canadian Weather Channel this morning; I always imagined you were more-or-less too far south for lots of snow. Shows how much I know, eh?

It's been v. cold (by Newfoundland standards anyway) here for the last wee while - actual temperatures in minus teens Celsius and wind-chills in minus twenties.

Never mind - it's going up to +5°C on Friday with more snow ...

According to a weather man on TV this evening, the extraordinary amounts of wind and rain we are getting in the UK are all part of the system that's giving you all the cold and snow across the pond. Can't we all get together and do something about it?!

I've been helping a friend fill out on-line job applications this morning and some of the questions they ask in the assessments are ridiculous and/or disturbing. For example (ridiculous), in an application for a cashier position at a local convience store: True of False - All modern art is not really art. And for disturbing, from the same job: True of False - I sometimes have the urge to punch someone's lights out.

(and is anyone REALLY going to answer TRUE to that last statement?)

YIKES, what is the world coming to?

Last week's twenty inches of fluffy snow has been compacted to about five inches. Today it was sunny with a temperature in the fifties. We're supposed to have temperatures in the fifties for the next several days. Nature's snow-removal system seems to be working.

I live at Latitude 37 and at 2100 feet elevation. The sun is much higher in the sky and therefore hotter. Also, the fact that there is not so much atmosphere for the sunlight to travel through makes it brighter.

Moo, I was thinking of you as I was in DC for Valentine's Day watching the Weather Channel news.
All I can tell you is, JB's meetings were cancelled while we were in the air coming to DC, so he worked from the hotel room. Our hotel had a shuttle bus, which did take us to restaurants that were open. I was hoping to get to the Smithsonian and Mount Vernon, but it was not to be. Couldn't even meet with shipmates for lunch! Thank heavens I bring books to read and I could download some TV British programs (my favorites). Trip wasn't a total loss, but it could have been better without the snow. What a mess Alexandria, VA was!

Now, I'm back home to 60 degrees with a cold front coming in. Wind is blowing a gale outside my window right now. [Help]

We're having a wonderful warm break in our winter today. Which was good for me. Several of my buddies stopped by the house last night on the way back from conservation hunt in Arkansas and dropped off about 100 snow geese for me. Now, I'll clean 'em no matter what, but it is so much more pleasant to stand in the warm sunshine and do it than in the freezing cold. So at 5 pm, I'm covered in blood, feathers and various other avian fluids, with several huge containers of meat. Happy Bess. [Big Grin]

I went on a group trip to a nearby community called Cambria today. We spent most of our time listening to a talk about the community. It was very enjoyable.

Apparently Cambria has the reputation of being a very un-respectable place, although it has always had the lowest crime rate in the county.

The story that especially fascinated me was the tale of two buildings side-by-side and almost identical in appearance. The first had been built around 1890; the second story was a hospital and the ground floor was a pharmacy. A few years later the second building was built, with a door connecting the second stories of the buildings. This new building had a bar on the ground floor and a brothel on the second story. The connecting door between the hospital and the brothel was so that in case of an epidemic, the brothel would temporarily cease business and all the beds there could be used for the sick. It didn't occur to me to ask whether this situation had ever arisen. I also don't know when the hospital went out of business, or the brothel either.

When Prohibition became the law in 1920, the bar became a restaurant; apparently the food was terrible, but the restaurant prospered because of the pharmacy next door. Prohibition allowed alcohol for medicinal purposes, and restaurant patrons would equip themselves with a prescription. There was actually a pass-through window between the pharmacy and the restaurant. The restaurant and the pharmacy both did extremely well until Prohibition was repealed.

I like local history. It is much quirkier than national history.

Last night, we got the worst winter storm I've seen in the 7 years I've lived here. 4-5 inches of the fluffy stuff on top of a nice layer of ice. The wind is still howling. I'm thinking this is a great day to get all wrapped up warm, hop on the 4-wheeler, and go play [Big Grin]

I almost started a new thread called "Sex on a Spoon", but decided that the USA thread would do just fine for shipmeet report.

Friday, Motherboarde, JB, St. Sebastian, my BFF and I met at a favorite local eatery to talk and laugh (and entertain the server.) As usual, we had a great time together and enjoyed our meal.

We shared three desserts, the upper left one was nick-named "Sex on a Spoon". JB suggested that an orgy was called for, since we were sharing!

This is the aftermath of the orgy.

You're not off the chocolate for Lent then? [Big Grin]

One of the ladies in the choir quite often brings a pudding called sex in a pan to Cathedral pot-lucks, and it's one of the few things that tempt me on the pudding table. I googled this recipe; I'm not sure if it's the same as hers, but it looks fairly similar. It tastes far nicer than all those instant-packet ingredients would suggest.

Having said that, we tend to do unaccompanied settings and motets during Lent, which is actually rather nice - in fact, D. said after Evensong yesterday "I think we'll give up accompanied anthems altogether".

LOL! Every once in a while, I quit playing the accompaniment (in an appropriate section) and a large percentage of the choir looks up (a miracle for some of them) and either look at me as if I had grown antlers, or quit singing, because if I'm not doing anything, they don't have to, either.

Yes, most of the time they have been warned. Most of them have actually listened, but I don't think they believed me. It would be nice to do a nice a cappella anthem. They used to do so!!

Well, it was about 600 miles north of the northernmost group of Shipmates in California, just off the coast of one of the coolest little towns on the coast. [Frown]

SAys people felt it, but no mention of significant damage or waves or anything like that. My guess is it was a "slippy" quake rather than a "bouncy" quake.

A slippy quake would be more correctly called a "transform earthquake",and describes two tectonic plates sliding in opposite directions alongside each other. A "bouncy" quake-- or perhaps more properly, a "crashy" quake,or "convergent/ subduction"-- involved two plates actually crashing into each other . Neither one are particularly good, but subduction quakes are the ones that cause things like tsunamis. Or mountain ranges.

Whenever I hear about a fairly high magnitude quake with little damage or sensation, I tend to figure it was a transform earthquake. I could be wrong, I just guessed on this one. But even very low magnitude subduction quakes have been known to cause a surprising amount of damage.

Ah, I think I see what you mean. Fortunately my only experience of tectonic plates was standing in Iceland with one foot on the European one and the other on the American one - IIRC there was about an 8-inch gap between the two.

Yikes. I'm not sure I could be that brave.

I'm not going to describe a divergent quake, as those are relatively uncommon and there is no reason to plant unsettling images in people's heads-- especially when they have stood straight on top of a fault... [Big Grin]

I live on the west side of the San Andreas fault. About 15 minutes south. A reservoir sits in the north end of the crevice.

There is a cool Benedictine monastery about forty miles from where I live. It pretty well sits on the the San Andreas Fault. Want to see what a major fault can do to the landscape? Behold Devil's Punchbowl about a mile from the Abbey!

Yeah, I know, I only live forty miles away. I'm actually about twenty miles from the point of the fault nearest me; I might as well be on it myself. Time to bring in more crates of water, check out the first aid kit, the fire extinguisher, sleeping bags. and the whole "bug-out" bag situation. [Help]

I had a look at pictures of chitterlings. They look like boiled condoms.

It said on the Wiki link that BH posted that "chitterlings are eaten in most parts of the world".

Looking at the picture, not in my dining-room. [Eek!]

Just think, BH, not eating chitterlings and doing your colleague a favour. Good day all round, I'd say. [Overused]

Hope his lady's going to be all right. [Votive]

Are they eaten knowingly? Could they be in sausages?
