By the way, in case no one's mentioned it, this is your last day on earth. The event takes place tonight at 2:12 EST. Personally, I'll miss the ol' girl. You get kind of attached to a planet after so many years.
A very slick countdown clock is here. For just a silly project, the Sun-Sentinal did a terrific job. Click on 'How it works' to see what I mean. The Mayans were way ahead of the curve.
After the dust settles and the lava hardens, I'll be going back to my home state of California for a week. I'm bringing the laptop & wireless so I won't be out of touch. As you might recall, the last time I was out there was just before my operation, possibly saying 'goodbye forever' to family and friends. Not the happiest of times. I thought it appropriate that I revisit everyone now that the tidings are good. I'm still facing some serious medical costs, though, so if anyone is feeling the Christmas spirit, a small donation to my medical fund would be very appreciated.
Current temperature here in the Florida Keys? A delightful 76. I'm sitting here in my swim trunks with every door and hatch on the boat open.
Current temperature in Palo Alto, CA, in the heart of the S.F. Peninsula?
40.
Nobody said this would be pretty. On the other hand, I suppose it beats 1,250 degrees.
Well, good luck, everyone!
