Global cooling Andrew Bolt – Tuesday, December 23, 08 (09:15 am) The world sure is coldening: The first day of winter brought wind-chill warnings, snow and a bevy of storms to cities across Canada on Sunday, potentially laying the groundwork for the first cross-country white Christmas in nearly four decades.

This is the sad, sad, breakfast I ate two weeks ago: hash browns, Egg Mcmuffin, and an orange juice. "What's sad about this breakfast?" you might be asking. "Doesn't McDonalds offer one of the finest breakfasts in the world?" You'd be right of course, and nearly any other day of the year I'd be thrilled to have such a fine feast for my morning meal. But not on Christmas morning. Christmas is a normal workday in Japan, and although I'm lucky enough to have it off my husband doesn't, so ratherGuest Post: Multitasking with Presence

Stow, Ohio police have arrested a man in connection with a bank robbery, but one would have to ask how he even managed to rob the bank when he was wearing a ski mask in line. I mean, where was security?A teller told him he would have to remove the mask while in the bank. However, he did not comply or reply, but rather continued to wait. As I said, where was security?Once at the front of the line, he demanded cash. The teller gave him an undisclosed amount of money and he placed it in his ownMaterial Girl: Bad-Weater Pick-Me-Ups
My least favorite weather is cold. Not cold and snowy, not cold and rainy. Just plain cold. Cold and nothing. What could be worse? At least snow gets me excited to strap on my snowboard and rain makes curling up by the fireplace completely guilt-free. But cold just makes everything uncomfortable.

Fellow blogger Will Davies becomes the surprise subject of my first safety moment this year. After a coffee stop, Will was fiddling for change in his jersey pocket with one hand, and the other on his brakes as he was descending the wicked Col de la Croisette. It was a little too late when he realized he had picked up an uncomfortable amount of speed, and so squeezed the brakes not 'expecting' much braking force. His expectation turned out to be wrong instead as he found himself flying over the hProgram Radio Romania Cultural - 10 ianuarie 2009

Mischa says: “The ocean there was so beautiful and warm I didn’t want to get out. I would swim all day, ate mostly a vegetarian diet and bought some beautiful things from the vendors I bargained with — jewelry, saris, you name it.” “Christmas Looking for a cross-training alternative?
OK, I’ll admit it: I’m not a year-round rider. Once the temperatures dip into the 20s in the morning and there’s a residue of salt, sand and ice littering the roadsides, I’m thinking it’s time to do something else. For me, something else rarely involves stationary cycling. Spin classes? Loud and obnoxious. Indoor trainers? Nah, I need the sound of the wind in my ears, the sight of trees whipping by and most of all, a rear tire ahead of me to pull me along. So, after a Dec. 28 ride that lefThat time of year again…..

Et je repensais à ma dissert' de philo sur la liberté... Mon esprit aime divaguer très loin sur de petites choses très simples, mais qui ne sont pas trop bête.
