Tens of thousands of meteorites strike the moon every day. I think the lucky part was their detecting it with a photo.

Sunny with a Chance of Cigars
Finally! By Sunday, my weather will become cigar friendly for at least a week. Yay! (The National Weather Service long-range prediction is for warmer than average temps all spring. Of course, they weren't being paid when they made that forecast.) I think it's been more than a month since my last cigar. But I'm too old to remember exactly.

Bob, it sounds like you could use a gazebo with a fire pit! The one I used to have had roll-up canvas sides to prevent the heat getting let out. I've been thinking about building another one at our current place. Winter months are rough for outdoor stogie smokers and I don't know about VA, but GA has been downright cold the last few weeks. That gazebo was perfect for a nightly relaxation.

Bob, can I ask you two things?
- If you had to choose only one type of smoke forevere, you would choose the pipe or the cigar?
- can you explain why in winter time you smoke the pipe inside your home but never smoke cigars inside?
Thanks.

I enjoy smoking pipes (with my tobacco blends) and cigars equally. But pipes require a lot of fiddling and fussing, tamping, cleaning, etc. So given an equal choice, cigars win most of the time.
Smoking a pipe inside my house makes it smell like all university libraries used to smell. Smoking a cigar inside my house makes the house smell like stale cigar butts. So that's one factor. Also, smoking anything outdoors is way healthier than smoking it indoors and inhaling the second hand smoke.
The crappy circulation in my legs and feet prevents me from sitting outdoors if the temp is below ~55°F, although I can be active outdoors for a couple of hours down to about 40°F.

Summary:
- I like them both.
- Cigars are easier and less distracting than a pipe.
- Outdoor smoking is healthier than indoor smoking.
- I'm stuck indoors for much of the winter.
- Smoking cigars indoors really stinks.
I love sitting on my porch because it is open to the air and the wind and the ambient temperature. I considered rigging roll-up sides for the porch a few years back, but decided that it would be like driving through a national park with the windows rolled up and the AC running.
My pipe in winter vs. cigar in summer is an accommodation to reality, not a problem to be remedied. It adds to the joy of a warm day after a stretch of cold days.

Ah, somehow I missed that you were a pipe smoker as well.
The important thing is you enjoy yourself regardless of medium.

Here it is, ground hog day, and I had not taken appropriate measures in advance. All of my ground hog sat frozen in my freezer. So no ground hog for ground hog day. It's chicken. The legend is that if you bring out the ground hog on the second day of February, and it casts a shadow, then it turns chicken, and goes back in the freezer for 6 more weeks. With a shadow-casting sun out today, I'm having the chicken for dinner instead.

Yes, it's Groundhog Day... again. My favorite holiday of the year and favorite movie. The Groundhog didn't see his shadow here this morning, so it looks like spring is just around the corner. The weather wizards on tv seem to disagree.
I just finished my traditional Groundhog day dinner feast. I put a 6 lb'er (ham) in the oven to bake around 4:30. To go with it, we had home grown Yukon Gold potatoes, Mantis carrots, Blue Lake green beans and Corn Bread. Mmmm...mmm... was it good! Can't button my pants good. So now I'm off for some quality couch time before I que up the movie, and start in on a plate of Lemon Bars. Life is good today.
Phil.... Phil Conners? Is that you?

One thing I'm certain of is that the Super Bowl is a wonderful time to shop at Walmart. I could park less than a quarter mile from the entrance. The shelves were all well stocked. Other shoppers were sparse. Fewer than average kids were screaming. The men's room was actually clean!
Congrats to whichever team didn't loose as badly as the other. They richly deserve the prize thingy, I suppose.

What software did you use for that? It looks like fun to play with.

Thank you!
Tonight, I started germination tests on coffee filters in Ziplock bags. They are now on a cookie sheet, on top of a seedling heat mat. I'll ignore them for 3 days.
The varieties that I've finally settled on are:
Bob
EDIT: Hmmm. I guess I should actually go plug in that heat mat.
