Hee!

This is fun for adults or kids, whee!

You will only be building one segment of the overall design. When you view the design, the program repeats the pattern to create the complete design. This is not well-explained in the site instructions.

 

 muichimotsude recently posted a snippet asking what folks thought was the scariest movie of all time. In the spirit of the upcoming Hallowe'en, Dia de Los Muertos, and Samhain season, let me ask you:

 

Yes campers, this crazy, middle-aged Bohemian has gone and bought herself a travel trailer—a 2004, 28-foot Alpenlite Aspen, to be precise. They’re made in Washington State, or they were until the manufacturer closed, as have most top quality manufacturers in the region who make things as good as the Canadians.

on November 2nd. Here's the site for the park (Yee Haw!): http://www.rvparkofportland.com/

Not much information there, but I thought you would get a kick out of the cheesy page, hee! Actually, the place is very nice, with mature landscaping, and it is very clean and well-run. It sits on the banks of the Tualatin River, and has a 2-mile hiking trail along the river, right next to the RV park. The bus line is a short walk away, and the light rail train is due to have a stop there by February.

The park is in a very upscale part of town, and very close to two major highways and streets, so getting around won't be difficult. The place is located not far from B and V, so we can easily get together and do stuff.

Here’s the ad for the trailer that lists the major features of my (hopefully) place:

 
This thing has only high quality materials used, which is rare in a travel trailer priced for the working man. It has solid maple cabinetry, high quality stainless sinks and faucets, tough fabrics, and a real toilet, not a plastic Thetford. She comes with a TV and stereo, surround sound speakers inside and out, and she is wired for solar panels, cool! She has awnings for all windows, and a big one down the side. Those babies altogether would cost around 6 grand to install, so this is a real plus.

Here are pictures of an identical model, while they last (I pulled them from an RV dealer, and this trailer is already under contract, so the photos won't be up for long). This model is exactly the same as mine, inside and out:

♫ Noo NOO noo noo, noo NOO noo noo. . .♫♪

Yes campers, the Large Hadron Collider is supposed to go online Wednesday, and this will be a major breakthrough in subatomic particle physics research. It will be the largest atomic particle acelerator on Earth, and it cost $9 billion to construct deep underground along the border of France and Switzerland.





Interestingly, there is a small chance that the accelerator could create tiny black holes that could destroy planet Earth, (or create runaway strangelets or magnetic monopoles) and that has enough folks up in arms that they filed lawsuits to attempt to delay the development of the accelerator. A former nuclear safety officer,  Walter Wagner, filed a suit in Hawaii (read about it here: http://www.infoaddict.com/post/title/particle-accelerator-will-destroy-earth-claims-lawsuit/index.html)

This reminds me of the folks who thought that the first A-bomb's chain reaction would set the sky on fire and burn up the atmosphere.

The only thing about that theory that concerned me when I learned about it, was that scientists on the Manhattan Project had not thoroughly disproved that theory before they set off the Bomb, yeeps!

Odds are nearly 100%, that the accelerator won't generate mini black holes, and even if it did, they would be of no consequence whatsoever, say researchers in the know.

I predict a pulp fiction piece about this phenomenon soon, campers, and maybe even a B movie!

Black Holes from Earth, Terminal Point, or something along that vein.

Hee!

Anyway, the big test day is Wednesday, and I am curious about how things go. Will it work? Will it fail?

I'll be staying tuned to this story. . . .
