Starting May 30 this year here are some of the totals : May 30-2 inches, May 31- 2 inches, June 8th-.6 inch, June 12th-.45, June 14th-.50, June 15th- .50, June 18th-1.9 inch, June 26th-.3, and so far today still raining, 5.5 inches. Two sump pumps are keeping the basement from filling.

Billy time to move to higher ground!

Billy time to move to higher ground!

We ended the weekend with a total of 7.4 inches. It's supposed to rain again today. Water is seeping in through every little crack in the basement floor and wall. The house is over 100 years old. No flooding in basement yet.

This rotten market day inspired me to think of the worst, rottenest, most worthless villians in movies I've seen. Here they are ranked in order:

1. Gene Hackman---as Little Bill Daggett in "Unforgiven" and equally rotten or worse as Mayor Hared in "The Quick and the Dead"

2. Lee Marvin------as Liberty Valance in "The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance"

3. Eli Wallach------as Tuco Ramirez "The Ugly" in "The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly"

4. Thomas F.Wilson--as Buford "Mad Dog" Tannen, Biff Tannen, and Griff Tannen in "The Back to the Future" trilogy

5. Mike Myers-----as Dr.Evil in Austin Powers "International Man of Mystery", "The Spy who Shagged Me", and "Goldmember"

6. Robert Patrick honorable mention as T-1000, the shapeshifting robot assassin in "Terminator 2, Judgement Day"

Please add to the list.

Billy a friend of mine had lived in a flood area in Wayne, NJ . He actually kept a boat near his home . After several flood outs, he moved to a house way up on a hill in a neighboring town! Now no flooding problems!

I got 7.5 inches this past weekend - I loved all of it!

Global Warming I'm Not buying it!

A TRUE Scientist will NEVER tell you that all the research is in and the debate is closed on the issue of Climate Change! That is not true science.
Apparently an Australian Professor Emeritus Agrees, and what HE says follows!


Ian Plimer is an Australian geologist, professor emeritus of earth sciences at the University of Melbourne,.
Where Does the Carbon Dioxide Really Come From?
Professor Ian Plimer could not have said it better! If you've read his book you will agree, this is a good summary.

PLIMER : "Okay, here's the bombshell. The volcanic eruption in Iceland . Since its first spewing of volcanic ash has, in just FOUR DAYS, NEGATED EVERY SINGLE EFFORT you have made in the past five years to control CO2 emissions on our planet - all of you.
Of course, you know about this evil carbon dioxide that we are trying to suppress - it’s that vital chemical compound that every plant requires to live and grow and to synthesize into oxygen for us humans and all animal life.
I know....it's very disheartening to realize that all of the carbon emission savings you have accomplished while suffering the inconvenience and expense of driving Prius hybrids, buying fabric grocery bags, sitting up till midnight to finish your kids "The Green Revolution" science project, throwing out all of your non-green cleaning supplies, using only two squares of toilet paper, putting a brick in your toilet tank reservoir, selling your SUV and speedboat, vacationing at home instead of abroad, nearly getting hit every day on your bicycle, replacing all of your 50 cent light bulbs with $10.00 light bulbs.....well, all of those things you have done have all gone down the tubes in just four days.
The volcanic ash emitted into the Earth's atmosphere in just four days - yes, FOUR DAYS - by that volcano in Iceland has totally erased every single effort you have made to reduce the evil beast, carbon. And there are around 200 active volcanoes on the planet spewing out this crud at any one time - EVERY DAY.
I don't really want to rain on your parade too much, but I should mention that when the volcano Mt Pinatubo erupted in the Philippines in 1991, it spewed out more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than the entire human race had emitted in all its years on earth.
Yes, folks, Mt Pinatubo was active for over one year - think about it.
Of course, I shouldn't spoil this 'touchy-feely tree-hugging' moment and mention the effect of solar and cosmic activity and the well-recognized 800-year global heating and cooling cycle, which keeps happening despite our completely insignificant efforts to affect climate change.
And I do wish I had a silver lining to this volcanic ash cloud, but the fact of the matter is that the bush fire season across the western USA and Australia this year alone will negate your efforts to reduce carbon in our world for the next two to three years. And it happens every year.
Just remember that your government just tried to impose a whopping carbon tax on you, on the basis of the bogus 'human-caused' climate-change scenario.
Hey, isn’t it interesting how they don’t mention 'Global Warming' anymore, but just 'Climate Change' - you know why?
It’s because the planet has COOLED by 0.7 degrees in the past century and these global warming bullshit artists got caught with their pants down.
And, just keep in mind that you might yet have an Emissions Trading Scheme - that whopping new tax - imposed on you that will achieve absolutely nothing except make you poorer.
It won’t stop any volcanoes from erupting, that’s for sure.
But, hey, relax...... and have a nice day!"

He has published 130 scientific papers, six books and edited the Encyclopedia of Geology.

Gotta admit he makes some good points.

Phoenix, Funny "Are you lonesome tonight?" was on the list. Just today I listened to another version rarely heard. Please listen to the end to grasp the full meaning of the song.
